Following a hugely successful first event in Cincinnati, Ohio in September 2023, the Moneymaker Tour is returning to the Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati on September 17 – 30, 2024 with a packed schedule that will guarantee more than $1 million across 15 trophy events. 

In September 2023’s inaugural stop at Hard Rock Cincinnati, the $1,500 Main Event was contested by 788 players and won by Joseph Bakun for $208,034. He was joined at the final table by Chris Moneymaker himself and WSOP Champion Joseph McKeehen and as well as the top cash prize, he also took home a crystal Moneymaker Tour trophy and a guitar trophy.

The Moneymaker Tour was created in 2023 by 2003 WSOP Champion and ACR Team Pro, Chris Moneymaker and Moneymaker Tour Executive Manager, Tony Burns. The Tour was conceived as a way for Moneymaker to give poker players opportunities to have their own ordinary to extraordinary moments as he did.

Despite its relative newcomer status, the Moneymaker Tour has made a name for itself, recently being voted the third most popular live poker tournament series behind only the World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour, in a State of Poker survey. Since its inception, there have been eight events throughout Florida, Cincinnati and Houston.

The Tour has also recently announced new venues including a first visit to the birthplace of the Moneymaker boom with an event in Las Vegas from June 28 – July 6 at MGM Grand and its first international Main Event at Casino Aruba in October.

“Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati will team up with the Moneymaker Tour for a return in 2024” said Christopher Herbert, Hard Rock Cincinnati Manger of Poker & Sportsbook. “Hard Rock Cincinnati is grateful to be a part of the fastest growing poker tour in 2023. Chris Moneymaker, Tony Burns and their staff delivered an incredible experience for our guests during the 2023 Moneymaker Tour stop. There’s no better place to be in September 2024 than Cincinnati Ohio!”

“After an amazing series last September, we are excited to return to Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati”, said Tony Burns, Executive Manager of the Moneymaker Tour. “Continuing to partner with one of the most recognisable brands in the world amplifies our reach, resonates with our audience, and rocks our business to a whole other level.”

Vegangster Powers Reels Points, the New Coin-Based Loyalty System on Reels.io

Published

vegangster-powers-reels-points,-the-new-coin-based-loyalty-system-on-reels.io

Reels.io has added Reels Points, a new loyalty layer powered by Vegangster. Players earn coins by playing casino games or placing bets. Coins can be tracked in the player profile and redeemed in the Vegangster-powered Lootbox Shop.

Two bigger steps are next. The first is on-platform: coins will soon be spendable across a selection of games as in-play credit, opening up a second use case beyond the Lootbox Shop. The second is on-chain. Reels.io is heading toward a $REELS Token Generation Event, at which point accumulated Reels Points will convert into Reels Tokens, a publicly traded cryptocurrency.

That turns the loyalty layer into a stake in the brand itself, and gives players a real choice along the way: spend coins now on lootboxes and in-game perks, or stack them for the token conversion later.

The system is 100% Vegangster-developed and currently available only on Reels.io. It will roll out to select partners first, then be offered to all Vegangster clients, with the crypto layer as an optional component depending on each operator’s market.

Michael Oziransky, Chief Product Officer at Vegangster, commented: “Reels.io is the kind of brand that pushes a system to its limits, which is exactly why we wanted them as the first deployment. They are running the points layer and the Lootbox Shop now, with in-game spending and a token conversion already mapped out. What works for them sets the bar for the version we roll out across the rest of our network.”

The Reels.io launch is the first deployment of what Vegangster sees as a long-term loyalty product. With the points layer live, the Lootbox Shop active, and a clear path toward in-game spending and token conversion, the system is built to grow with the brands running it.

N1 SEO Traffic Cup: final results coming soon

Published

n1-seo-traffic-cup:-final-results-coming-soon

N1 SEO Traffic Cup the first tournament in the N1 Traffic Cups series is coming to an end, with April 30 as the final day of the promo. Over the 2 months, around 300 teams joined the promo, driving SEO traffic to N1 Partners’ casino and betting brands.

Participants competed not only on volume, but also on efficiency, strategic thinking, and scaling. The more brands a partner drove traffic to, the higher their coefficient for score calculation was. The final results depend entirely on each team’s own performance — that makes the tournament fair and engaging.

The winners will be announced by May 10. In this article, you’ll find out which brands delivered the strongest results in the N1 SEO Traffic Cup, along with key trends in working with this traffic source.

N1 SEO Traffic Cup: Wrap-Up 

The N1 Partners expert team answered the hottest questions about the tournament wrap-up — insights that can be valuable for partners who keep running SEO traffic to N1 brands.

1.  Which brands showed the best performance during the tournament?

Several brands clearly stood out:

  • HollyWin
  • Slot Mafia
  • Lucky Hunter
  • RollXO
  • Slot Lounge

2. What do the tournament results say about the current state of SEO traffic in iGaming?

The key takeaway: SEO remains one of the core channels in iGaming. However, it’s evolving and adapting in response to Google updates. This is no longer about writing articles and getting traffic — it’s about systematic unit economics management.

An interesting point — the tournament mechanics focused not on volume, but on efficiency (FTD + coefficients). This clearly shows that iGaming SEO is shifting from mass traffic to controlled performance.

It’s also worth noting that the rule “There are no fixed winners — KPI execution matters more than leaderboard position” gave every participant a real shot at top prizes, while competitors’ results served as additional motivation for growth.


3. What key trends did you observe among top participants?

Several major trends stood out:

  • Multi-brand strategy = a must-have
    Top performers don’t rely on a single offer — they build strategies around a portfolio of brands. This proves that SEO is moving closer to media buying.
  • Aggregators, comparison pages, and multi-intent pages are effective
    Among the top-performing approaches: offerwall pages, cross-brand strategies, and parasite SEO.

Stay tuned for updates on the N1 SEO Traffic Cup from N1 Partners to find out who landed in the prize tiers and what rewards the top teams received — final results will be announced separately by May 10.

And this isn’t the end — a new tournament from the N1 Traffic Cups series will start very soon. Follow the announcements not to miss your chance and jump back into the competition, sharpen your skills, as well as compete for even bigger prizes.

N1 Partners is: 

  • 14+ casino and sportsbook brands with high Reg2Dep
  • 10+ Tier-1 GEOs
  • CPA up to €700 and RevShare up to 55% + NNCO for top partners
