BetPokies is one of the most trusted and referred Australian gambling platforms. It was launched in 2020 by John Gold, a gambler with more than 10 years of experience in the field of online gaming. Over the years of its functioning, the platform has evolved, now it’s owned by ZehrMedia LTD and covers a variety of different topics such as casino reviews, game provider guides, news of the field, gambling laws in Australia, responsible gaming tips, and many others. Such big growth and success of the website weren’t unnoticed in the industry, so now the founder of BetPokies is a prominent and respected figure in the industry, and he is being continuously invited to many prestigious events in different corners of the world, where he shares and exchanges his experience with other experts.
What Is BetPokies, and Why It’s a Perfect Site for Australian Gamblers?
As it was already mentioned before, John Gold, the founder and editor-in-chief of BetPokies, didn’t intend the platform to become something more than just a place for him to share his thoughts on different online casinos with other gamblers. In 2020, when the pandemic and lockdown were draining all of us, John shared his first casino reviews, which received much more feedback than was expected then. As the number of readers, as well as the content on the site, grew, going beyond the same type of content and evolving became an inevitable step for BetPokies to go beyond the same type of content and evolve. One of the first people to join John Gold in creating content for BetPokies was Poppy Bate. Her expertise and immeasurable experience in the gaming field brought the quality of reviews on BetPokies to a new level.
“I found it rather surprising that my reviews on casinos received such a big response in the gamblers’ community. So when I realised that there are a lot of people with the same interests as me who rely on my opinion, I decided that it was a great chance for me to design a platform where they could find guides to other aspects of gambling and my own reviews about some topics in the industry. My main goal now is to make BetPokies a website that meets the needs of all gamblers and provides them with answers and solutions to all their questions about gaming processes.” — shares John Gold about the process of establishing and leading BetPokies.
Indeed, BetPokies provides comprehensive and reliable guides to many topics that may interest gamblers. One more expert from the BetPokies team, who is worth mentioning, is Charles Morey. Thanks to his rich background in the field of finance and degree in this field from the University of Melbourne, the site offers top-notch guides about different payment options that can be found in online casinos. Thanks to the guides written by Charles, Australian players can find decent insights into the processes of operation of different payment methods, including outlooks of the most popular e-wallets, like MiFinity, Skrill, PayID, etc., cryptocurrencies, and even a comprehensive introduction to bank transactions.
So overall, BetPokies is not just a site that shares general data about casinos. It’s a platform that, thanks to the expertise of its team, digs deeper into all gambling processes and offers players in Australia a top-tier guide to them.
SBC Summit Americas With Over 10,000 Gambling Experts in One Place at One Time, Ready to Share Knowledge
SBC Summit Americas is going to take place on May 13-15, 2025, in New Jersey. There are going to be more than 10,000 industry professionals gathered together at the summit. They will discuss trends in the development of the iGaming industry and all the hot topics that are of interest to people in the field, such as regulations, AI development, cryptocurrencies, cybersecurity, data rights, and much more. The conference is cooperating with over 250 exhibitors, who, in turn, will conduct lectures and seminars for other professionals on these topics. Furthermore, this event is a great networking option, giving all attendees the opportunity to meet other people who share the same interests and values.
“We are very excited about the upcoming launch of SBC Summit Americas, taking place on May 13-15, 2025, in Fort Lauderdale. This event is all about bringing North, Central, and South America together in one place. The tagline, ‘Connecting Worlds Through Gaming,’ says it all—it perfectly captures the spirit of uniting these dynamic regions. If you’re familiar with SBC Summit North America and SBC Summit Latinoamérica, think of this as the natural evolution of those two amazing events.”- comments a CEO and founder of SBC, Rasmus Sojmark.
John Gold’s Expectations and Plans for the Summit
Though the event is mostly focused on uniting the gambling experiences of the Northern and Southern Americas, the rest of the world’s iGaming community will surely have a lot to open for themselves at this summit. We reached out to John Gold to ask about his expectations and thoughts about the upcoming event.
“Summits by SBC hold a special place in my heart, as I have already joined them multiple times in many parts of the world. Every time, I have received an unmeasurable experience and met many inspiring people who were ready to share their experiences and knowledge on many things in the industry. This time, I do not expect anything less, and I really look forward to meeting my old friends and exchanging our thoughts. This period brought a lot of changes to the industry, such as rapid AI development, changes in legislation, a shift in attention to data security, and, overall, the increasing digitisation of all processes. All these things are particularly interesting to me because we at BetPokies are aiming to provide our readers with the freshest bits of information about the development of the gaming field. So summits like this one are a great opportunity for my team and me to get first-row seats while experiencing these changes.”
So right now, we are only left to wait for the summit in May and what news it will bring us.
