Case studies

Rankings you can bank on.

We do not sell link counts. Every campaign is judged on non-brand clicks, keyword movement and what those rankings do to signups, in a niche where nothing ranks by accident.

100% iGaming. Zero distractions.

Generalist agencies learn gambling SEO on your budget. We have never built a link for a dentist, a SaaS tool or a florist. Every publisher relationship, anchor playbook and content template we own exists for one industry.

See how a campaign runs

  • Outreach that actually gets replies

    Publishers answer us because they already know us. Most placements come from gambling site owners we have worked with for years, not from a scraped list and a cold template.

  • Built for regulated markets

    We check what compliant anchoring, ad disclosure and affiliate labelling look like in your market before a link goes live, so a placement never turns into a licensing problem.

  • Links that survive core updates

    Real editorial placements on sites with traffic and editors. No PBNs, no expired domains, no footprints — the profile still looks natural a year after the campaign ends.

  • Reporting a CFO would sign off on

    Every link mapped to a target page, an anchor and a keyword, with placement date, authority, referring traffic and cost in one dashboard. Then a monthly call where a person explains what moved and why.

Guest posts, niche edits or digital PR?

Most gambling campaigns need at least two of the three. Here is what each one is good at, and where it falls short.

Link types used in iGaming link building, compared by how they work, what they suit and their main trade-off.
Link typeHow it worksBest forThe trade-off
Guest postWe pitch a gambling publisher, write a new article for their audience and place your contextual link inside it.Building topical relevance around game, bonus and market pages that have none yet.Slower to go live, and a brand-new URL starts with no accumulated authority of its own.
Niche editYour link is added to an existing article on a gambling site that already ranks and already gets traffic.Pushing a page stuck in positions 5 to 15 that needs authority now, not next quarter.Inventory is limited. The right page has to already exist, and the publisher has to agree to touch it.
Digital PRWe build a data study or linkable asset around your brand and pitch it to gambling and mainstream journalists.Brand entity signals, and links from publishers who will never sell you a placement.Coverage is never guaranteed, and links arrive in waves rather than on a monthly schedule.

A typical campaign runs niche edits on the money pages, guest posts to build relevance around them, and one digital PR asset a quarter to earn links no competitor can buy.

Our iGaming link building process, step by step.

Five stages. You always know what we are working on, where your links live and what each placement cost.

  1. Audit & market mapping

    We dissect your profile and your rivals'

    A full backlink audit, a competitor gap analysis, and a shortlist of the pages with the shortest path to page one.

  2. Anchor strategy

    A plan Google reads as natural

    Branded, URL, partial-match and branded-plus-keyword anchors, ratioed to your market and your existing profile. No over-optimised footprints.

  3. Outreach & negotiation

    Human pitches to real gambling sites

    We pitch casino, sportsbook and affiliate publishers from our existing network, plus fresh prospecting every month so the network keeps growing.

  4. Content & placement

    Articles that belong on the page

    In-house gambling writers produce the content. Editors place your link inside copy that is genuinely useful, surrounded by relevant outbound links.

  5. Reporting & iteration

    Live dashboard, monthly review call

    Track every placement, keyword movement and traffic estimate. Pages that underperform get re-strategised, not quietly dropped.

iGaming link building: frequently asked questions

An iGaming link building agency earns backlinks for gambling websites — casinos, sportsbooks and affiliates — from publishers that cover gambling, so those sites rank higher for commercial search terms. Below are the questions operators and affiliates ask us most.

What is iGaming link building?

iGaming link building is the practice of earning backlinks from gambling-relevant websites — casino review sites, sportsbook blogs, odds portals, affiliate media and mainstream publishers that cover betting — to raise a gambling site's rankings in search. It differs from standard link building in three ways: publisher inventory is far smaller, prices are higher, and every placement carries regulatory and spam risk that has to be checked before it goes live.

What does an iGaming link building agency actually do?

An iGaming link building agency audits a gambling site's existing backlink profile, maps which pages need authority to rank, builds an anchor text plan, pitches casino and sportsbook publishers for editorial placements, produces the content those placements need, and reports each live link against keyword and traffic movement. The work is outreach and content production, not buying from a marketplace.

Are your links safe for a licensed operator?

We place editorial links on sites with real editors, real traffic and their own organic rankings. We do not use private blog networks, expired domains, hacked placements or automated outreach, and we check the ad disclosure and affiliate labelling rules of your market before a placement goes live. No agency can guarantee a link is risk-free, so we document every placement, with the URL, anchor and date, so you can audit or remove any of it later.

Which markets can you build links in?

We build links in ten markets: the United Kingdom, the United States, Ontario, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and the wider Nordics, Spain, Italy, Brazil and India. Publisher inventory is not equal across them. Some markets have hundreds of gambling sites worth a placement, others have a few dozen, so we tell you what is realistically available in yours before you agree a monthly volume.

How much does iGaming link building cost?

Gambling placements cost several times more than mainstream links because the publisher pool is small and the pages monetise well. Four things set the price: the publisher's organic traffic, how topically close it is to your product, the market it serves, and whether the placement is a guest post or a niche edit on a page that already ranks. We quote per link against your target pages before anything is pitched, so you approve the cost of each placement rather than an average buried in a package.

Guest posts or niche edits: which works better for gambling sites?

Niche edits usually move rankings faster because the link sits on a page that already ranks and already has authority, which suits a money page stuck in positions 5 to 15. Guest posts build topical relevance around new pages that have no links of their own, and they are easier to source at volume. Most gambling campaigns need both: niche edits on the commercial pages, guest posts to build the topical cluster around them.

How long before we see ranking movement?

Ranking movement from new links typically appears after Google has crawled and re-evaluated the target page, which takes weeks rather than days, and competitive gambling terms usually need several months of sustained link acquisition. Timelines vary by market, page strength and competition, and no agency can promise a date. Judge progress on non-brand clicks and keyword position movement, not on link counts.

Do you write the content?

Yes. Guest posts, niche edit insertions and any linkable assets are written in-house by writers who cover gambling, then edited to the publisher's brief before submission. You approve anchors and target URLs before anything is pitched.

Do you work with affiliates as well as operators?

Yes. Casino and sportsbook operators, slot and betting affiliate sites, odds comparison portals and iGaming software brands all buy links for the same reason: their commercial pages sit behind competitors with stronger profiles. The outreach approach differs by type — affiliates need more topical breadth, operators need tighter anchor control around brand and market terms.

What happens if a link gets removed?

We check every placement monthly. If a link we built comes down within 12 months of going live, we replace it at no cost with a placement of equivalent or better authority and relevance. That covers editorial changes, site redesigns and publishers who quietly strip outbound links. It does not cover links you ask us to remove yourself.
