The iGaming Europe opens a Reddit community for people who work in online gambling on 9 September. iGaming Redditors is built for the questions that do not get asked on LinkedIn, where every comment carries a real name, a job title and an employer’s logo.
The community is open to people working across operators, suppliers, affiliates, payments, compliance and legal. It covers three uses: asking questions and getting answers from people who have already solved the same problem, finding out what platform, game and payment providers are like to work with from the companies that use them, and talking openly about roles, pay and hiring.
Bartosz Hrydziuszko of The iGaming Europe said most of what the sector knows stays unrecorded.
“A lot of what people in this industry know never makes it into an article. It gets said in hotel bars at conferences and then it’s gone. This is an attempt to catch some of it.”
Questions people will not ask under their own name
Reddit accounts are pseudonymous, which is the reason the community sits there rather than on a professional network. An employee who wants to know whether a platform migration is worth the disruption, or how a competitor handled a licence application, can ask without the question being read as a signal about their employer’s plans.
“Nobody can say in public that a provider’s reporting is broken, because their employer’s logo is next to their face. That conversation still needs to happen somewhere.”
Suppliers, assessed by the people who use them
Criticism of a supplier is allowed as long as it comes with detail, and anyone with a commercial interest in a discussion has to say so before taking part in it.
Platform, data and payment providers are assessed publicly by analysts and privately by the operations, finance and compliance staff who use them every day. The second group rarely puts its name to an assessment, which leaves buyers relying on reference calls arranged by the vendor.
Pay ranges and open roles
The community runs a monthly open roles thread and requires anyone posting a job to include a pay range. Salary bands are commonly withheld from iGaming job ads until a candidate reaches a screening call.
Hrydziuszko said the information gap works against candidates.
“Recruiters know what roles in this industry pay and candidates mostly don’t. That gap costs people real money every time they negotiate.”
The requirement sits alongside the EU Pay Transparency Directive, which requires employers in member states to give applicants pay ranges before interview and to report gender pay gaps. The iGaming Europe’s iGaming Salaries Report 2025-2026 sets out what roles across the sector currently pay.
The jobs thread also opens during a year of sustained headcount reduction across operators and suppliers, tracked in the publication’s iGaming layoffs 2026 update.
