Nick Hardy, Author at Jokabet Casino
Co-founder and Content Director, Global Gambling News
Nick Hardy is a UK-based iGaming media professional and Co-founder of Global Gambling News, a publication he built from the ground up to deliver credible, fact-driven coverage of the global online gambling industry. With a career in digital media and entertainment spanning over three decades, Nick brings a level of practical, first-hand industry knowledge that goes well beyond editorial. His work at Global Gambling News is rooted in direct involvement with the iGaming sector, covering regulatory shifts, market entry dynamics, operator compliance, affiliate ecosystems, and the commercial forces shaping the industry across multiple jurisdictions. Before focusing on the gambling media space, Nick held roles at TouchTunes Interactive Networks and Tap TV UK, where he developed a grounding in digital entertainment, commercial strategy, and content development that continues to inform how he approaches iGaming journalism today. Additional experience through H4 Ideas Ltd and WalkSafe further shaped his understanding of business development and audience-focused communication in digital-first environments. Nick studied at Solent University and has since built an active professional presence within the iGaming community, participating in industry discourse on topics ranging from newly regulated markets, such as Finland’s licensing framework, to the broader challenge of separating verified expertise from speculation in a sector that attracts considerable misinformation. His editorial output reflects a consistent commitment to accuracy, critical analysis, and transparency in reporting.
Editorial Independence and Approach
All content published by Nick Hardy on Global Gambling News is produced independently. Editorial decisions are not influenced by commercial relationships, advertising partnerships, or third-party interests. Where industry viewpoints are cited, they are attributed clearly and assessed on their factual merit. Nick applies the same standard of scrutiny to press releases, company announcements, and regulatory statements as he does to independently sourced analysis. Content on this site is not written to serve operator agendas or affiliate incentives. Coverage of regulatory developments, licensing decisions, and market performance is based on publicly available data, verified sources, and direct knowledge of how the industry operates. Corrections are addressed promptly and transparently when errors are identified.
Responsible Gambling Commitment
Nick Hardy and Global Gambling News take a clear position on responsible gambling. The publication does not produce content that promotes irresponsible gambling behaviour, misrepresents risk, or targets vulnerable audiences. Coverage of gambling products and services is contextualised within the wider regulatory and social framework, and the editorial team actively follows guidance from recognised gambling harm bodies in the UK and internationally. Where relevant, articles reference resources including GamCare, BeGambleAware, and national helplines. This publication operates in line with the UK Advertising Standards Authority guidelines and the editorial principles set out by established gambling media bodies.
