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.

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
