Gamblers Connect has launched a fully custom built platform and a refreshed brand, the company said on Monday 29th June 2026. The iGaming B2B media platform said the release marks the end of a five-year build that began with its 2021 founding.

The company said the new platform is its first site iteration built on technology designed and developed in-house, replacing a previous setup based on pre-set templates and third party page builders. The redesign includes the site architecture, visual identity, typography and colour systems, and navigation across editorial and directory sections.

Gamblers Connect said its editorial output will continue across daily news, long form interviews, case studies, podcasts and original research, alongside directories covering online casinos, sweepstakes casinos, demo slots, game providers, payment solutions and B2B companies.

The platform also publishes methodology papers for three frameworks: the Responsible Gambling Index, which the company said scores game providers across 12 responsible gambling criteria; Proof of Play, which it said runs hands on operator testing across payment rails; and the iHub Five Gate Verification system, which it said audits each company listed in the iHub directory across five verification gates.

Gjorgje Ristikj, Founder of Gamblers Connect commented: “After five years relying on pre-set templates, the next stage meant building the platform ourselves. Editorial independence is more credible when the technology underneath it is not owned by someone else.” The company said editorial governance is published in a Policies hub, including items such as the Editorial Firewall, Editorial Policies, a Brand Asset Library and responsible gambling commitments.

Gamblers Connect, the acclaimed iGaming media and affiliate platform, is marking its fifth anniversary and currently ranks as one of the most prominent affiliate media brands in the iGaming sector.

Gamblers Connect was established with a distinct purpose: to create a transparent, player-centric platform. What started as a simple idea rapidly transformed into something much more important. In its inaugural year, the company had already obtained its initial industry accolade. Since that time, Gamblers Connect has kept broadening its services by introducing new sections, tools, and features, while consistently achieving significant milestones and enhancing its visibility at prominent industry events, conferences, and speaking engagements.

The launch of the Responsible Gambling Index enhanced the platform’s offerings, serving as a unique assessment tool that has become a key aspect, encompassing both game providers and casino operators.

This advancement has been evident in industry accolades, featuring several awards and nominations at major events, such as Casino Affiliate of the Year, News Affiliate of the Year, Crypto Affiliate of the Year, and Best Affiliate of the Year.

In the last five years, Gamblers Connect has transformed past the conventional affiliate framework. The platform currently functions as a comprehensive iGaming media brand, generating a wide variety of editorial content, industry news, interviews, and B2B-related coverage, catering to both players and industry stakeholders.

Gjorgje Ristikj, Founder of Gamblers Connect, said: “2026 marks not just an anniversary, but a clear step forward. The launch of the GC Contributors Program, the introduction of the iHub, and an entirely new platform currently in development signal where Gamblers Connect is headed — deeper into the industry, more ambitious in scope, and built for what the next five years demand.”
