One of the most popular categories trending in the podcasting sector today is the iGaming industry. It’s also one of my favorite topics, and I’ve noticed how more people than ever are tuning in to listen to people discuss all things online casino-related.
If you are considering hosting your own podcasts to discuss the hottest topics from this industry, here’s how you can establish yourself as an authority on the subject with these simple tips.
Which Topics Should I Cover In My Podcasts?
The multi-billion-dollar online casino industry is one of the world’s fastest-growing. It’s also constantly evolving because of new technological innovations and changes in laws and regulatory practices.
One of the easiest ways for people to stay on top of what’s happening in this industry is to listen to engaging and informative podcasts.
I’ve listened to countless podcasts to see what’s new and get a much better insight into the industry, and I’ve always found that none of them seem to cover all of the important topics.
With that said, if you are looking to stand out from the crowd and make your podcast a success, the main topics I would suggest that you research and frequently cover in your podcasts are the following:
- Know Your Customer (KYC) – before signing up to new casino sites such as O’Reels, King Casino, and Boyle Sports as examples, all of which are featured here at Johnslots (johnslots.com/en/), most people are unaware that they must complete the KYC account verification process to gain full access to their accounts. I suggest going into greater detail about how this vital process works, what documents are required, and why some operators enforce it.
- Wagering requirements – most people who are new to playing on sites like this are often confused about wagering requirements (aka playthrough, rollover, or turnover requirements) that are attached to the bonuses, so don’t mislead your listeners and explain to them how they work and how they can get the most out of any bonuses they claim
- Reviews – I would also suggest informing your audience about the tell-tale signs to look for in an authentic review. You should also tell them exactly what they should be looking for when they are deciding which sites to join. Key topics to discuss here should include licensing and regulation, ownership, security/SSL certificates, ratings, and more.
- New releases – people like me who are interested in what goes on in this industry also want to know about the latest releases, whether it’s the newest live dealer blackjack title or the latest online fruit machines. You could give them a sneak peek and suggest which sites they can try them on.
- Progressive jackpots – I also think that people want to know which sites/fruity currently have the biggest progressive jackpots that are about to drop, so remember to cover the latest big online jackpots and where they can find them.
What Else Should Ideally be Covered?
Another way you can make your podcasts more engaging is to offer plenty of guidance, support, and advice on simple things like how easy it is to register a new account on a trustworthy site and what they can expect when playing on one of these sites for the first time.
You could also discuss some of the latest online payment methods that are currently making waves, how to use certain online payment methods to top up your account and cash out your winnings, and how to gamble like a pro.
Another thing I would also suggest you frequently cover in your podcasts is discuss the many different safer gambling tools that are now widely available on today’s safest sites and how your listeners can be more responsible gamblers by using those tools sensibly.
To build a community, enhance transparency in your podcasts, and gain more listeners, you should also try to engage with your audience and get them to interact with each other.
Try to resonate with your audience by listening to their feedback and acting upon any negative criticism they might provide, and try to deliver informative, fun, and insightful content each time you live-stream your podcasts.
Also, find out what your audience wants to hear about so you can host future podcasts that are even more relevant, and consider including interviews with industry experts, insiders, and leaders. You may also want to invite some of your listeners to join in the conversation and share their thoughts and feelings on certain topics.
Always try to provide accurate information from reliable sources, focus on quality over quantity, and try to make your podcasts consistent. Also, don’t go over the top when it comes to editing.
Final Thoughts
To ensure your listeners tune in for future episodes and to gradually build your audience and community, try to come across as friendly and someone that people can trust.
If you affiliate yourself with brands to earn money by promoting their products, don’t force your listeners to buy those products, or it will scare them off.
Look at how other podcasters in your chosen niche host their shows, and perhaps take the good parts from some of your favorite episodes and leave out the parts you think are irrelevant or don’t think to belong in your podcasts.
Finally, remember to have fun and keep in mind that success takes time and effort. It won’t happen overnight.
