Gamblers Connect, the independent B2B iGaming media platform, and EGR Global, the subscription led B2B publishing and intelligence business, confirm a media partnership under which Gamblers Connect becomes the exclusive coverage partner for the Power Seat podcast series.

What Power Seat is

Power Seat is an interview podcast published by EGR Global, built around one to one conversations with senior executives from across the online gambling industry. It is hosted by Dan Thomas of EGR Global.

The format is a single guest per episode rather than a panel, which allows the conversation to stay with one operator’s position for its full length. Early episodes have featured Pontus Lindwall, chief executive of Betsson Group, and Mattias Wedar of LeoVegas Group. Subject matter across the series has covered regulatory change, compliance, market entry, technology and corporate strategy.

The series sits inside EGR Global’s wider output, which spans breaking news, market analysis, data led research and an awards and events calendar serving operators, suppliers and affiliates across regulated markets. EGR Global publishes at egr.global.

What the partnership covers

Gamblers Connect becomes the coverage partner for the series. In practical terms that means each Power Seat episode receives dedicated coverage inside the Gamblers Connect Latest Podcasts section.

Each piece carries a breakdown of the conversation, the key takeaways for an industry reader, and editorial commentary from the Gamblers Connect newsroom placing the discussion against what is happening elsewhere in the market. The intention is that a reader who has not listened to the episode still comes away with the substance of it, and a reader who has gets a second reading of it.

Coverage runs on the Gamblers Connect publishing schedule alongside the platform’s wider podcast and interview output, and each piece links back to the original episode on EGR Global so the source material remains the destination.

What stays the same

The partnership does not change the editorial position of either publication. Gamblers Connect remains an independent B2B iGaming media platform. It does not provide traffic to operators, does not operate as an affiliate, and does not refer players. EGR Global remains an independent subscription publisher operating under its own editorial standards.

Neither party edits, approves or overrides the other’s editorial output. Gamblers Connect coverage of a Power Seat episode is editorial commentary on a published conversation, not a syndication of EGR Global content and not an endorsement of any position taken by a guest.

Every piece published under the partnership carries its status disclosed inline, in line with the Commercial Disclosure Policy in the Gamblers Connect policy library. Right of reply, corrections and complaints on any piece run through the editorial desk under the Right of Reply and Complaints Procedure.

Where the two publications sit

Both publications serve the same side of the industry. EGR Global’s readership spans operators, suppliers, affiliates, legal and financial professionals working in regulated markets across the globe

Gamblers Connect publishes openly for the same audience, covering operator news, company profiles, contributor commentary and market analysis.

That overlap is the reason the arrangement works rather than a complication in it. A conversation held on a subscription platform reaches one audience. Covered openly, it reaches a wider one, and the original remains where it was published. Neither publication is positioned here as a substitute for the other, and readers who want the full conversation should go to the source.

Gamblers Connect has not assessed EGR Global’s editorial process and nothing in this article should be read as a verification of it. Where Gamblers Connect covers Power Seat under this arrangement, that coverage is subject to the same fact check standard, right of reply and correction procedure as any other subject on the platform.

Power Seat is published by EGR Global at egr.global. Gamblers Connect coverage of the series appears in the Latest Podcasts section, with each piece carrying its partnership status disclosed inline and linking back to the original episode
