What other players say

GamblingNews helped me look up some cool slot reviews and play a few games that I had long had on my radar, but never actually tried myself. The review just gave me the basics and narrated the theme well enough for me to want to play. Overall decent and helpful.

Erika, Canada

Good stuff. I have this website bookmarked because it’s just easier to look up regulated casinos in NJ. Not 100% sure how their ranking system works, but they definitely cover only licensed casinos and seem to be keeping their site update, which is good enough for me. Still, I’d recommend checking the actual casinos for full info rather than reviews.

Jessica, New Jersey

I love that there are sites that bother to list all regulated gambling brands in my state. It used to be a bit of nightmare, but affiliates are getting better. GamblingNews have a good scoop of news and pages to read, and I have found tons of helpful info to help me decide about my gambling.

Mike, New York

Defo a good site for news. They are a bit heavy on regulation and business news, but run a lot of responsible gambling and local stories – like the reach they have in local markets or at least they bother to cover some topics that are dear to me. I feel they definitely live up to their name as a news service.

Veronica, UK

Very nicely packed site in terms of info. They seldom skip any news on the day it happened, so I hardly have to look elsewhere. Would love to see more in-depth original reporting but definitely great place to get your info for the industry on the daily.
