Exciting new affiliate media project gets the OK from New Jersey regulators

Intress Media, an affiliate marketing group for the online gaming industry in the US, has been granted a license to operate in the New Jersey market. This gives the company’s exciting new New Jersey-focused casino portal, iGamingNJ.com, a rubber stamp from one of the most strictly regulated jurisdictions in the US.

Intress Media launched in 2021 with a mission to deliver game-changing and innovative solutions to its customers to ensure they have a safe and seamless experience.

The ultimate goal with iGamingNJ.com is to build a true, safe community of gamblers, and to empower and support them with essential knowledge and tools for making deliberate and responsible gaming choices. With a mix of news, reviews, education and entertainment, the site will provide comprehensive information on online casinos and providers in the Garden State to help readers make informed decisions.

It will exclusively collaborate with casinos regulated by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) to maximize player security and safety. The goal for Intress Media is to create a wide network of websites and expand its presence in the US, ultimately launching iGaming portals in every regulated state.

Intress Media creates websites, mobile applications, and other media assets, including top quality content, for affiliate marketing.

Maryna Sokirko, Co-founder at Intress Media said: “We want to thank the DGE for its due diligence and for recognizing the value of what we have to offer in New Jersey”.
“Stepping into the US gambling affiliate scene means becoming a part of a driving force in an emerging but highly competitive market. For us, it’s an unmatched opportunity to test our skills in building something more purpose-driven than expected of an affiliate project,” she added.

“With our expertise in building affiliate projects in various markets and given the nuance of a legally regulated US affiliate scene, we expect to apply advanced marketing and business approaches to eventually secure our position among the industry leaders.”
