Casino City is pretty active in the newsletter publishing business.
Most familiar to members here will be the GPWA Time weekely e-mail newsletter. We put it out every Wednesday to all GPWA members - there are currently close to 5,000. If you are not familiar with the newsletter, just click on the newsletter link in the top navigation on this site. If you would like to receive a copy, just register as a member and it will be in your inbox every week. Our goal for the newsletter is to let members know what is going on both in the industry and in the GPWA community, and to encourage participation in the forums and other activities.
Casino City also publishes two newsletters every week for gambling enthusiasts.
We began publishing the Casino City Times newsletter on August 6, 2000. After an erratic start the first couple months, we've published it quite reliably every week for the last seven years. The newsletter is for a general gambling consumer audience (covering both land and online gaming) and has over 100,000 subscribers. We completely revised the format of the newsletter at the beginning of last month to try to turn it into a what we think is a very strong newsletter for its audience. You can see copies of the current or past issues of the newsletter at
www.casinocitytimes.com/newsletterarchive.cfm, and, of course, you can subscribe to receive your own copy every week on that page.
During the summer of 2005, we began publish Rebecca's Recommendations every week. Rebecca manages our affiliate relationships, and her goal was to tell all about the fun and glamour of doing that for Casino City, and to let player's know about some of the folks behind the scenes and the deals she had arranged for players. In April of this year we took the weekly column Rebecca writes and turned it into a full weekly newsletter called Online Casino City Times. This newsletter also has a subscriber base of over 100,000. The goal is to provide information and news about the online gaming industry to players. We have a lot of plans for additional enhancements to this newsletter - mostly around tailoring the content geographically based on recipient location. You can see copies of the current or past issues of the newsletter at
online.casinocity.com/times/, and, of course, you can subscribe to receive your own copy every week on that page.
We also let people sign up to receive a "newsletter" for each of our gaming gurus on our
www.CasinoCityTimes.com. These newsletters are just copies of articles written by particular authors distributed to those who have said they want to read more articles by a particular author as they become available. There are probably at least a couple such articles sent out to appropriate distribution lists each day.
So, we definitely fall into the greater than two newsletters each week category.
