North Star Network acquires BasketUSA.com and BasketEurope.com

North Star Network (NSN) is pleased to announce the acquisition of BasketUSA.com and BasketEurope.com, two of the leading basketball media platforms in the French-speaking world. This double acquisition marks a key milestone in NSN’s expansion into basketball coverage and strengthens its position in the Francophone market.
Founded in 1998, BasketUSA.com is the go-to destination for NBA and international basketball news in France. BasketEurope.com, created in 2010, has established itself as the main reference for French and European professional basketball coverage.
Yann Decoopman, Co-founder of North Star Network, commented: “We are proud to welcome BasketUSA and BasketEurope into the North Star family. Their editorial expertise, loyal audience, and deep passion for basketball are a perfect fit for our vision.”
The editorial teams of both sites will remain at the helm, ensuring continuity and preserving the voice and integrity that have defined both brands.
Fabrice Auclert, founder of BasketUSA and co-founder of Eureka Presse, said: “After more than 25 years of independence, finding a partner that could grow the brand while respecting its DNA was crucial, so we can stay focused on what we do best: journalism. North Star won us over with its professionalism and long-term vision.”
Maxime Weber, Director of BasketEurope, added: “This partnership with North Star Network marks a new chapter for BasketEurope. It’s a great opportunity to continue our mission within an international framework, while preserving our editorial standards.”
This move reflects North Star Network’s ambition to become a global leader in sports media, relying on strong brands, quality journalism, and sustainable growth strategies.

Meet MegaList: The Rising Force in iGaming Affiliation

There are affiliate networks, and then there’s MegaList – a performance-first, hype-last kind of operation built for casino and sportsbook brands that prefer results over buzzwords.
In an industry that sometimes feels like it’s powered by vague metrics and recycled content, MegaList steps in as the “Mega Map” – a practical, data-driven network guiding both players and operators to higher ground. Less “look at our reach,” more “here’s your conversion rate.”
So no, this isn’t just another logo-stamped brand promising traffic and delivering bounce rates. This is a carefully engineered affiliate engine built on smart SEO, qualified leads, and just enough caffeine-fueled obsession with results to make even the most skeptical operators pay attention.
The iGaming Affiliate World: Why It (Still) Matters
Let’s be honest – the affiliate space in iGaming has had its fair share of bad actors and empty promises. But when done right, affiliate marketing is still one of the most effective and efficient ways to connect licensed operators with the right players.
Players want fewer popups, more clarity. Operators want actual ROI, not vague impressions.
Enter: the data-driven affiliate network.
It’s simple:
- Informed players make better choices.
- Strategic affiliates deliver better traffic.
- Everyone wins. Except, of course, the shady operators who preferred it the other way.
Meet the MegaList Brands
These aren’t vanity microsites. Each MegaList brand has a specific mission, actual humans behind the content, and a reputation for, well… telling it like it is.
MegaCasinoList
Let’s face it – players don’t need another affiliate promising “top 10 casinos” based on whatever ad paid the most. They need honest, transparent, expert-backed reviews.
That’s where MegaCasinoList comes in – a platform that filters out the noise and delivers legit info on licensed casinos, security, fairness, and gameplay. Slots? Live dealer games? Payout speed? Yep, it’s all in there, and it’s all vetted.
They work with reliable operators only, because – and here’s a crazy idea – not every shiny site deserves your deposit.
MegaTipsList
If you like sports predictions that read like a 20-page legal document, you’re in the wrong place.
MegaTipsList is built for bettors who want real insights, fast reads, accurate tips, and actual value. It delivers predictions, sports news, and timely promotions – minus the fluff and with none of that “win guaranteed” nonsense.
Designed for bettors who like to stay informed without needing a PhD to understand the odds.
MegaBetList
For the practical bettor who just wants the facts: which sites are legit, which ones pay fast, and what to expect before placing your first wager.
MegaBetList reviews betting platforms with a clear, no-nonsense voice. It’s not trying to dazzle; it’s trying to help people bet smarter – and it’s doing a pretty solid job of it.
From licensing to promotions to usability, everything is covered – and everything is filtered through what actually matters to sports fans.
Why This All Matters (And Why It’s Working)
The iGaming world doesn’t need more noise. It needs better filters, smarter partners, and affiliates that actually care whether the traffic leads somewhere useful.
That’s where MegaList comes in – not to impress with buzzwords, but to perform, to scale, and to make sure both operators and players are on the same page for once.
And if we may drop in a little vision while we’re at it:
“At MegaList, we believe informed players and strategic operators shape a stronger, smarter iGaming industry.”
For once, a statement that isn’t just inspirational filler.
So the next time someone pitches you an affiliate network, ask one thing: “Do they have a plan, or just a landing page?”
MegaList has both, and a track record to prove it.
