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.
