GPWA Times Magazine - Issue 49 - April 2021

iGamingDirectory.com Rankings In 2017, we launched iGamingDirectory.com, an online version of Casino City’s iGaming Business Directory , the “who’s who” of all things iGaming that has been published annually for over 15 years in print form. We’re proud to say that the site is known as the world’s most comprehensive, accurate and up-to-date guide to the websites, contacts, owners, operators, software suppliers, payment processors, regulatory jurisdictions, affiliate programs and other industry businesses that comprise today’s online gaming industry. One of the more valuable functions of the site allows users to filter and create custom rankings based on a number of factors. The rankings are calculated on the weighted power mean of a variety of independent and multi-sourced traf- fic-based statistics, such as number of visitors, visits and page views, and total estimated time spent on a site by all visitors. For this issue’s example, we took a different approach and examined portal site owner rankings. On the right, we present the top 25 companies that operate more than five portal sites and how the rankings changed from 2019. On the opposite page, we list the top portal site owners in four major verticals, once again, with the change in rankings compared to 2019. Thanks, in part, to the support of our longtime partner bet365, we are offering free access to the massive amount of data at iGamingDirectory.com to our private members and sponsors because we know how valuable it is to have this kind of information at their disposal. As this issue went to press, the iGamingDirectory.com da- tabase featured more than: • 1,600 businesses that own online gaming sites • 4,000 casino, poker, sports betting, bingo and game sites with traffic rankings • 1,000 affiliate programs and affiliate networks • 12,000 web portals and their owners • 900 game and platform suppliers • 17,000 games • 190 regulatory jurisdictions • 1,700 annual reports of online gaming businesses • 900 payment methods • 16,000 gaming executives with their associated LinkedIn profiles For more details and information, please visit: iGamingDirectory.com/GPWA Portal Site Owners Free access to iGamingDirectory.com for GPWA members TOP 25 PORTAL OWNERS Rank Change from 2019 Total Sites Owner Name Owner Website 1 22 LiveSport Media livesportmedia.eu 2 46 Better Collective bettercollective.com 3 1 6 Planet Sport Publishing planetsport.com 4 1 6 Oddschecker oddscheckerglobalmedia.com 5 40 Catena Media catenamedia.com 6 2 9 Take That takethat.co.uk 7 16 SYC sycsl.com 8 2 109 Ample Chance Group amplechance.group 9 7 10 180Vita 180vita.com 10 3 24 RakeTech raketech.com 11 1 38 Acroud acroud.com 12 6 35 Gambling.com Group gambling.com/corporate 13 1 105 Casino City infotechsys.com 14 5 13 XLMedia xlmedia.com 15 10 ProTipster protipster.com 16 1 17 Game Lounge gamelounge.com 17 3 7 WIS wis-ltd.net 18 1 6 Hastoplay hastoplay.com 19 8 71 House Tech Ads housetechads.com 20 14 6 Stars Group starsgroup.com 21 7 Rebel Penguin rebelpenguin.dk 22 6 Int’l Interactive Ventures 2iventures.com 23 1 11 Casino Bonus Guy casinobonusguy.com 24 2 95 Topboss Group topbossgroup.com 25 4 25 Big B Casinos bigbcasinos.com G P W A t i m e s . o r g 20
