Welcome to the English-language Casinoplusbonus.com online gambling news portal. We have three experienced authors who have spent decades working within the iGaming industry, supported by a research team that helps generate 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.
News Stories Covered by Casino Plus Bonus
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.
Here is a list of the main news topics we will continue to cover and specialize in:
- Weekly New Casino Games Report: Each week, we track every new game released over a seven-day period. We list them all in our weekly new casino games update. This includes a section that covers the top five online slots rated by the CasinoPlusBonus team, followed by five mini-reviews. The rating system is a collaborative effort using a simple voting system by the journalists and research team.
- Monthly iGaming Stocks Report: We cover iGaming stock prices for major companies listed on stock exchanges worldwide. The report covers gambling share prices for large companies listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE), New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), and the NASDAQ.
- Monthly Cryptocurrency Report: Each month, we track a variety of cryptocurrencies popularly used for deposits and withdrawals at online casinos. Bitcoin (BTC) is the most notable, while we also cover XRP Ripple and the up-and-coming Fasttoken (FTN). Overall, seven cryptocurrencies are covered.
- 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.
The Casino Plus Bonus News Team
- Jack Bannon: Started gambling in land-based casinos playing poker in 1996. He worked at a tote betting stand at horse and dog racing tracks in the South of England and also had a stint as a croupier in Canadian casinos. Since 1998, he has been playing video slots in land-based venues and online casino games, as well as betting on sports. He has pursued a career as a gambling journalist and casino testing expert for over a decade and a half.
- Matthew O’Connor: Began gambling online in 1998, playing poker online. He has also frequented some major and lesser-known poker tournaments around the UK and Ireland. He has been writing online with Jack Bannon for over a decade and a half.
- Luke Webber: Luke Webber is another one 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
Are you an English Speaker Not From One of These Countries?

We would love to hear your thoughts and opinions, and we would be privileged if you visited our iGaming portal simply to catch up on the latest gambling gossip and news.
Do you want to leave a comment or share your thoughts?
As mentioned, we want you to comment. It is even better if you become a part of our community and a regular comment contributor. We’ll also reply to your posts to converse on a particular topic. If you find casino news interesting or want to add your thoughts and information or discuss any of our news topics, you can do so in the comment section under each article.
