Vegas Stats and Information Network (VSiN) is launching a new 24-hour sports radio format in New Hampshire. VSiN is launching the channel alongside Binnie Media, New Hampshire’s largest locally-owned media company.

The new VSiN Radio 106.3 FM HD2 will deliver sports betting programming 24/7 year-round to the more than 1.5 million people Binnie Media reaches each week in New England and beyond.

“We’re thrilled to team up with Binnie Media to deliver the real-time news and insights New Englanders need to inform their wagering decisions. New Hampshire was one of the first states to embrace legal sports betting and, with Massachusetts recently legalizing, there has never been more interest in the informative and educational sports betting programming VSiN delivers every day. We are excited to bring our team of betting experts to Binnie Media’s passionate sports audience, especially in Massachusetts, the home state of VSiN’s parent company, DraftKings,” said VSiN founder and CEO Brian Musburger.

With this new 24/7 sports betting format, WFNQ-FM-HD2 delivers news and analysis from some of the industry’s most knowledgeable sports betting experts and book makers to inform and entertain the growing number of people betting on sports.

“Sports betting is quickly becoming part of the daily conversation. As we evaluated the options in this space, we landed on VSiN. Their programming is best-in-class and the support from the VSiN team goes well beyond the content we air on the station. From the short-form Action Updates to the digital content the VSiN team creates for our listeners, we think this content is, by far, the best in the space. We’re very excited about the opportunity to bring this programming to our listeners,” said Binnie Media VP of Programming Heath Cole.

This addition of a 24/7 VSiN affiliate in the New England area builds on VSiN’s momentum in expanding its distribution footprint. Including both long form and Action Updates, VSiN programming is now available on more than 300 stations in 46 states around the country, reaching nearly 90% of the U.S. radio market.

Defy the Odds and EDGE Markets Announce Strategic Partnership

The two companies will work together to continue to springboard newly funded EDGE Markets

Defy the Odds (DTO), a startup launchpad supporting entrepreneurs in the gaming and betting industry, announced a strategic partnership with EDGE Markets, the company behind EDGE Boost, one of the first debit card products designed specifically for responsible gaming. Together, the two companies aim to enhance financial accessibility and innovation within the gaming space while also promoting more responsible gaming. DTO will provide a host of advisory, consultative and partnership development services within the gaming sector to EDGE Markets.

“From our more than 80 collective years of experience in the betting industry, Sue Schneider, Kelly Kehn and I feel that EDGE Boost is exactly what the betting community needs right now,” said Paris Smith, Co-Founder of Defy the Odds. “Not only does it give players easy access to their own funds while promoting responsible gaming, but its built-in tools encourage smarter play. For operators, it identifies responsible players without adding extra costs or complexity. We’re excited to partner with Seni and the EDGE Markets team and help drive EDGE Boost to the next level.”

Defy the Odds will join EDGE Boost’s advisory network and also provide insights on how EDGE Boost can integrate itself further into the betting and gaming industry. Last month, EDGE Markets came out of stealth mode, announcing it had closed a $17.2 million funding round and that, since the start of 2024, the EDGE Boost debt card has already processed over $300 million in transactions.

“EDGE Boost is focused on providing bettors with financial tools that enhance their experience while keeping responsible gaming at the forefront,” said Seni Thomas, Founder and CEO of EDGE Markets. “Working with Defy the Odds will allow us to introduce our technology to many more eyes and innovators in the betting and iGaming space, giving them the financial flexibility they need to succeed while also promoting responsible gaming.”

The EDGE Boost bank account is FDIC-insured up to $250,000*, providing financial security, while all user data is safeguarded on a private, encrypted platform. EDGE Boost users are already using the card for transactions across all major digital gaming platforms, without any fees or integration required for operators.

Casino Guru, the global authority on online casino transparency and player safety, is expanding its portfolio with the introduction of a dedicated sweepstakes casino overview tailored to the rapidly evolving U.S. market.

Following months of in-depth research and development, the company has unveiled a new initiative focused on social sweepstakes casinos — a unique and increasingly popular segment of the online gaming space. As part of this expansion, Casino Guru has adapted its trusted Safety Index to reflect the specific characteristics of sweepstakes casino models.

“We’ve been hearing about sweepstakes casinos for quite some time, from social media buzz to community discussions and expert panels,” said Jozef Krucay, Branch Operations Lead at Casino Guru. “It became clear this wasn’t just a passing trend, but a notable shift in how people engage with online entertainment.”

Unlike traditional online casinos, sweepstakes casinos use virtual currencies such as Gold Coins, Sweeps Cash, or Vegas Gems. Players can enjoy games for free or use purchasable coins to enhance their experience. With some luck, they may receive a special sweepstakes currency, which can be redeemed for real-world prizes — presenting both exciting opportunities and important considerations for player protection.

Casino Guru’s newly launched content includes:

Listings for 11 published sweepstakes casinos, with over 60 more identified and currently in development
An adapted Safety Index that reflects the distinct risks and rules of sweepstakes platforms
Educational materials and player resources, including complaint-handling tools
Planned detailed reviews to provide deeper insights into each platform

“Our goal is to help players navigate this growing space with the same clarity and confidence we’ve brought to traditional online casinos,” Jozef added. “As always, our focus remains on transparency, safety, and informed decision-making.”

This new direction positions Casino Guru at the forefront of player advocacy in emerging casino formats — with a clear path toward future expansion in the broader world of social and sweepstakes gaming.
