Welcome to the English-language Casinoplusbonus.com online gambling news portal. We have three experienced authors who have spent decades working in the iGaming industry, supported by a research team that generates ideas for new publications. Due to the recent Google algorithm update, we’ve been posting news less frequently as the search engine redefines what it considers newsworthy.
Regular News Stories Covered by Casinoplusbonus
We have covered a diverse range of topics in the past. However, a significant drop in traffic from Google, stemming from the latest update, has made it difficult to fund our site, reducing our news output.
We also cover regular reports:
- Weekly New Casino Games Report: Each week, we track every new game released over a seven-day period and create a news piece covering all of them so you can stay up to date with every new online slot and table game released.
- Monthly Progressive Jackpot Report: Keep track of the highest-paying jackpots via our monthly jackpot report. You’ll find out which jackpots have a good chance of dropping.
- Software Provider Roadmaps: Every time a software provider produces a roadmap on its website, we make sure we cover it giving yet another resource to find new online casino games to play.
- Licensing Authority News: Each time a licensing authority changes its policies or fines an operator, we cover the news story. The authorities we follow include the United Kingdom Gambling Authority (UKGC), GRAI (Ireland), Curacao GCB, Anjouan, Ontario iGaming (AGCO – Canada), and the Kahnawake Gaming Commission (KGC).

Our sports betting and casino news focuses on six English speaking audiences
The Casinoplusbonus News Team

He worked at tote betting stands at horse and dog racing tracks in the South of England and also worked as a croupier in Canadian casinos. Since 1998, he has played video slots in land-based venues and online casinos, and has also bet on sports. He has worked as a gambling journalist and casino testing expert for over two decades.

- Luke Webber: Another of our experienced casino writers. Luke’s full-time job is trading stocks and cryptos, but he also likes to gamble. He doesn’t have a notable online presence as he’s quite a private person. However, you will see him deliver regular crypto and iGaming stock reports. Luke also enjoys betting on eSports, and he is an avid poker and blackjack player.
Behind the scenes: We have a team of researchers and ghost writers who draft parts of our news articles before we edit them. We couldn’t do it without them, so a big thanks to Narcisa and Jim Donaghue for always having our backs.

We are an Independent News Publisher
Firstly, we are an independent company operating alone. We prefer this because it gives us freedom of speech, allowing us to report on stories as we see fit. Much like traditional news organizations, we have gatekeepers who decide which news to publish. However, this isn’t because we have a narrative per se. We are a small site in a minefield of websites offering gambling news stories. Therefore, we have budget constraints on the number of articles we publish. Ideally, we can continue building on our news section and attract more readers.
Our new philosophy from Q2 2024:
- Report Facts: We ensure we fact-check all our news stories with reputable sources.
- Two Sides of the Story: A new and exciting trend for future news reports offers two sides to a story. When a topic is hotly debated, we will try to give you two sides of the story. A great example is the UK’s white paper, which has been controversial. Therefore, if there are conflicting opinions, we report the facts and add a little twist to each news report by offering our input.
- Giving Our Opinion: We don’t take giving our opinion lightly. You have three news writers and editors here on Casinoplusbonus to follow. Each one of us has our views on how the online gambling market should operate. We’ll call upon our years of experience working in the industry to give you our thoughts.
- Giving Your Opinion: We 100% want you to comment on our blogs and give your opinion—the more, the merrier. If you feel like a rant, don’t agree with the editor, or want to add more information to the story, please leave a comment.
Key Target Markets: English-Speaking Casino Players:
- The UK
- Canada
- Ireland
- South Africa
- India
- New Zealand
