HighRisk Media is an independent trade publication for the industries most media avoid: online gambling and sports betting, payments and payment service providers (PSPs), crypto, dating, nutraceuticals and high-risk e-commerce. We launched in November 2026.
What we publish
- News — regulation, licensing, market moves, payments and fraud, M&A and people moves, written from primary sources.
- Reference — a plain-English glossary of industry terms and a career guide to roles in the industry.
- PSP alerts — signals when a payment method or provider stops working in a market.
- Community — the Telegram channel @highrisk_media, a resume base for candidates and the closed group HighRisk Private.
HighRisk Media Newsroom
Stories signed “HighRisk Media Newsroom” are produced by our editorial pipeline: an AI model drafts each story from the original sources listed under the article, a separate AI check compares every fact with those sources before publication, and editors review flagged stories and corrections. Read the details in our editorial standards.

Operators and brands, affiliates and media buyers, payment and risk teams, compliance specialists, investors and founders, recruiters and people building a career in the industry — in Europe, the Americas, Asia and the CIS.
