I think it might be worth it if your site was directed towards bitcoin casino or bitcoin sportsbooks. They allow 2 links and 1 email. They do not specify if it is a do-follow link. When you go to the press release page and check out one of the links you see the meta rel = "noopener noreferrer'. The "noreferrer" makes me think they do not want the buyers to know actually how many referrers come from them.

nofollow will not be a thing come february 2020.. it will be a "hint" rather than a directive..
plus of course other sites scrape and republish the news from bitcoin.com, and no doubt some of those copies will be dofollow..
If you actually shared a valuable story, then this would serve as awareness to the linkerati, and you would no doubt earn links to your site / story.

regarding noopener, well "This feature was introduced in WordPress to address a security vulnerability which can be exploited by malicious websites." .. and wordpress powers like 70% of the web, so nothing to worry about there..

the other 1 noreferer is just a privacy thing afaik, (http header is stripped of referral source). so as long as the press-release has the magical dofollow on it, life should be rosy.

I am going to buy one of these this month for a client, will let y'all know how it goes. not expecting miracles, but could give a nice little uplift and drive some other links.

If you have a special focus on your website towards bitcoin casinos then it might be worthwhile, whether it will be a no-follow or a do-follow. Also most probably other sites will re-post this article which will also hike up your links.

In my opinion no. But you can find it cheaper (on the same website) if you search for it.

Yes, if your budget allows you, but it all depends on what you want to publish as a press release, or rather, what goal you are pursuing. If it's just a link, then of course not ...

What jagerstaff said.

People often just buy links for the pagerank flow alone. I have always avoided this mindset.

It leads to a sloppy outreach process, where people often overlook the merit of the link, quality of the referring website and article written. If you just want a link, you won't care about this.

On the flip side, if you actually put in the effort to make sure the referring domain makes sense for your site, the link and/or article provides real value to that site's visitors; that's called marketing.

That said, I'm not primarily a gambling affiliate only. I realize that this niche is different. Still, I try and put in a big effort in my guest posts and get great results.

If real bitcoin readers won't care about this press release of yours, it's a waste imo.

I've heard double that price offers for double less 'quality' domains in the industry. So if it's a do-follow link the price sounds reasonable.

Thank you for decoding my message

sounds reasonable for me too, I've heard that price offers for a backlink from sites that weren’t worth a cent. 1K for the backlink from bitcoin.com is more than fair
