Enthusiasts
LONDON: Gambling.com, a global search-driven portal and publication for gaming
enthusiasts, today announces it has re-launched, moving from a search site to a
content-rich online community for gambling enthusiasts. With double the amount
of gaming information and thousands of sports content pages, the
well-established site is a one-stop-shop for information and advice on anything
to do with the gaming industry worldwide. The site also introduces new
interactive functionality, allowing users to comment on articles and communicate
with each other to share ideas, opinions and information.
Initially launched in 1997 and owned by Media Corporation plc, Gambling.com
presents visitors with constantly updated non-biased information, providing
enthusiasts with the insight to maximise their gambling experiences. The site
offers an advanced search engine facility with newly added functionality for
users to quickly source the right information, the latest industry news and
features, gambling advice and strategy guides from gaming experts, links to
trusted online gambling sites, a member forum, a voting area and an interactive
blog. Social networking has also been introduced to the site, encouraging users
to form groups with a common interest, such as a particular Poker game or Sport,
to form the basis of a user community on the site. Gambling.com also offers a
frequently updated Sports section, covering all major sports pursuits from
around the world, including regularly updated sports video content.
James McBriar, Managing Director of Gambling.com, stated: 'My vision has now
been realised in the re-development of Gambling.com. I see our site as the
gateway for visitors to enter trustworthy gambling sites, providing users with
independent information on anything from the latest poker strategy advice and
updated sports news, to insight into the future of the UK gambling market based
on current government policy.'
