About Us
iGaming Business is the most respected and established source of information for the regulated global gaming industry. For more than two decades we’ve been providing the latest news, analysis, research, data and insight to senior executives in the gambling sector.
We take pride in the fact that our editorial and content is written for the reader and not the advertiser. By taking a strict editorial stance and having industry experts contribute to our magazine and online content, we give you the insight and analysis that helps you make better business decisions.
With a team boasting over 30 years’ experience at the forefront of industry journalism, we can offer content of the highest quality, from the industry’s most trusted source.
We’ve recently grown through the acquisition of Global Gaming Business, and can now offer you a twice-daily newswire service, the Global Gaming Monitor, to bring the latest European and US news and analysis direct to your inbox.

Nicole Macedo
Managing Editor – EMEA
Nicole cut her teeth in local news rooms at home in Gibraltar, and helped to establish the peninsula’s first online-only broadcaster. As a Gibraltarian, gaming is in her blood and transitioning into the sector’s media space was a natural evolution. Following a stint in the US after the repeal of PASPA, she sought out new opportunities, but as is often the case, gaming dragged her back in last year when she joined the iGB fold.
Jess Marquez
US News Editor for iGaming Business
Marquez has covered the global gaming industry since 2022, with beats ranging from land-based casinos and sports betting to M&A and regulation. A Reno native, he’d like to note that it’s Ne-va-da, not Ne-VAH-da.

Senior Reporter
Kyle has been with Clarion since December 2023, joining from the world of sports journalism, where he freelanced for companies such as Stats Perform and Opta Analyst, subsequently becoming a LatAm-facing senior reporter with iGB in February this year.
