Why PR Matters More in iGaming Than in Most Industries
In highly regulated, competitive markets like sports betting and online casinos, players are bombarded with messages. “We have the best odds.” “The biggest welcome bonus.” “The fastest payouts.”
Everyone claims to be the best. That’s why what others say about you matters more than what you say about yourself. Smart PR builds third-party validation: expert interviews, thought leadership, media coverage, and partnerships that position your brand as credible, not just visible. PR turns noise into narrative.
The Role of PR in a Growth Strategy
If marketing is the engine, PR is the steering wheel. It shapes perception before a player registers, before a partner signs, before a regulator reviews.
Done right, PR does three things:
builds trust – in the technology, the leadership, and the brand promise,
positions your voice – so your brand leads conversations, not follows them,
buffers crises – because a well-known, well-understood brand weathers storms better than an anonymous one.
At SB Software, we’ve seen firsthand how clear communication and consistent messaging can increase conversion. It’s not always about the feature set, it’s about how confidently and clearly you present it.
PR Is Not Just for Operators
Suppliers need strong communication too. Offering online casino software, sportsbook software, or affiliate marketing software for casinos, we’re not just selling features, we’re selling confidence.
Can our platform handle peak traffic?
Is our team visible and trusted in the industry?
Are we part of the future of omnichannel gaming platforms, or stuck in the past?
You may know the answers. PR makes sure the market does too.
How to Use PR the Smart Way in iGaming
Be visible in the right places
Trade publications, B2B podcasts, conference panels, these aren’t just media channels. They’re trust amplifiers.Talk like a person, not a press release
Nobody wants to read “company X is delighted to announce…” Speak with personality. Say something worth repeating.Tell stories, not specs
Features don’t stick. Stories do. Talk about how a client used your solution to scale. Or how you built a product to solve a real pain point.Show, don’t tell
Demonstrate expertise by educating the market. Share insights, not slogans.
