(AsiaGameHub) –   Gamblers Connect, the award-winning iGaming media and affiliate platform, is marking its fifth anniversary and now ranks among the most recognized affiliate media brands in the global iGaming industry.

Gamblers Connect was founded with one clear mission: to build a transparent platform that prioritizes players. What started as a simple, straightforward concept quickly grew into something far more impactful. Within its first 12 months of operation, the company had already earned its first industry award. Since then, Gamblers Connect has continued to grow its offerings by launching new sections, tools and features, while consistently hitting key milestones and strengthening its visibility across major industry events, conferences and speaking platforms.

The platform’s service suite was further enhanced with the launch of the Responsible Gambling Index, a proprietary evaluation tool that has become one of its defining core features, covering both casino operators and game providers.

This ongoing progress has been reflected in widespread industry recognition, with multiple awards and nominations at leading industry events, including honors for Casino Affiliate of the Year, News Affiliate of the Year, Crypto Affiliate of the Year and Best Affiliate of the Year.

Over the past five years, Gamblers Connect has evolved far beyond the traditional affiliate model. The platform now operates as a full-fledged iGaming media brand, producing a wide range of editorial content, industry news, interviews and B2B-focused coverage, serving both players and industry stakeholders equally.

Gjorgje Ristikj, Founder of Gamblers Connect, commented:

2026 marks not just an anniversary, but a clear step forward for our brand. The launch of the GC Contributors Program, the introduction of the iHub, and an entirely new platform currently in development make clear where Gamblers Connect is headed – deeper integration across the industry, more ambitious in scope, and built to meet the needs of the next five years.
