How We Vet Domains and Build Your Links

No black box. Here is the real process behind every placement — how we vet a domain, choose an anchor, build the link and prove it went live.

Reviewed by The iGaming Links Editorial Team · Updated

Most link buyers never see how their links are actually built, which is exactly why so much gambling link spend is wasted. This page walks through the process iGaming Links runs on every placement — how we vet a domain for genuine relevance, the metric thresholds we apply, how anchors are chosen, and how we verify and report a live link. It is written so you can hold us (or any provider) to it.

The short version: relevance is vetted before authority, every link is anchor- and target-controlled by you, and nothing is marked delivered until it is live and verified. The detail below is what that means in practice.

Step 1 — Relevance before authority

Every prospective placement starts with a relevance judgement, not a DR score. We confirm the host site is genuinely about gambling, betting or a closely adjacent topic — and specifically relevant to your sub-niche, whether that is casino, slots, sportsbook, poker or bingo. A powerful link from an unrelated site is weak in a Your-Money-Your-Life niche and can read as a footprint; a relevant link from a modest domain does more, more safely.

For geo campaigns we go a step further and match the placement to the market — local TLDs and market-appropriate content for the regulated country you are targeting, rather than a generic global domain.

Step 2 — The five checks every domain passes

Once a domain clears the relevance gate, it is vetted against a fixed set of quality checks before it is ever offered:

  • Topical relevance — genuinely gambling-related, not a general blog with a casino paragraph bolted on
  • Real organic traffic — visibility that matches the domain's authority, not a metric inflated by spam
  • Clean link profile — a sensible outbound-link pattern, not a page selling links to everyone
  • Index and history check — the domain is indexed, and has not been repurposed from an unrelated past life
  • Spam and toxicity signals — Trust Flow, spam score and anchor distribution reviewed before approval

Step 3 — You control the anchor and target

On every link you set the anchor text and the destination URL. We advise on safe anchor ratios — keeping exact-match commercial anchors in the minority and letting branded, URL and partial-match anchors dominate — because over-optimised anchors are the fastest way to flag a gambling profile. But the final call is yours, and nothing is placed with an anchor you did not approve.

That control is deliberate: a provider that picks your anchors for you can quietly build an unnatural, penalty-prone profile, and you would not know until rankings slipped.

Step 4 — Choosing the link type for the job

We match the link type to what the campaign needs — editorial relevance, live-link velocity or anchor control — rather than selling one product for every situation:

  • Guest posts — fresh editorial articles for the cleanest relevance signal
  • Niche edits (link insertions) — fast live links that inherit an existing page's authority
  • PBN links — controlled volume and anchor shaping on network inventory, used as a layer rather than the whole profile

Step 5 — Verify, then report

A placement is not complete until the link is live, in the right context, with the agreed anchor and target — and we have verified it. Only then does it appear on your report. If you resell, that report is white-label, so it lands under your brand, not ours.

This is the step most bulk sellers skip. 'Delivered' should mean a link you can click and check, not a line on an invoice.

What a placement report contains

For transparency, here is the shape of the record you get for every link. This is an illustrative example of the fields, not a specific client's data:

  • Live URL of the page the link sits on
  • Anchor text used and the exact target URL it points to
  • Domain metrics at placement — DR / DA, Trust Flow, spam score, category
  • Link type (guest post / niche edit / PBN) and whether the link is followed
  • Date placed and the date the live link was verified
  • Index status of the host page

Where we are honest about risk

We sell PBN links, and private blog networks sit outside Google's link guidelines by definition. We say that plainly rather than pretending otherwise. Our job is to give you the control and the guidance to use every link type well and to assign risk deliberately — more editorial links on primary domains you cannot afford to lose, more aggressive tactics where the downside is contained. The risk tolerance on each campaign is yours to set; we help you set it sensibly.

Frequently asked questions

How do you check a domain is relevant before placing a link?

We confirm the host site is genuinely about gambling or a closely adjacent topic and specific to your sub-niche — casino, slots, sportsbook, poker or bingo — before we ever look at its authority. Relevance is the first gate, not an afterthought.

Do I choose the anchor text and target URL?

Yes, on every link. We advise on safe anchor ratios to keep the profile natural, but you approve every anchor and destination. We never place a link with an anchor you did not sign off.

How do I know a link actually went live?

Nothing is marked delivered until the link is live, in the agreed context, with the correct anchor and target, and we have verified it. Your report shows the live URL, anchor, target, metrics and the date the link was verified.

Is the reporting white-label?

Yes. If you resell to clients, reports are unbranded so they land under your agency's brand rather than ours. We are the engine; you are the face.
