spinhireShort answer: in 2026, people look for iGaming jobs on three types of platform at once: an industry job board (SpinHire, GamblingCareers, igamingcareers.co), a specialist recruitment agency (Pentasia, BettingJobs, TalentBet) and LinkedIn. One site is not enough, because operators, providers and affiliate programmes post jobs in different places, and some roles never leave company careers pages and Telegram channels.
Below is a comparison of 12 platforms that candidates from the CIS, Ukraine, Cyprus and Europe actually use. We looked at platform type, geography, language, database size, whether salaries appear in listings, and who each one suits. Where a platform does not disclose exact figures, we write «hundreds» or «a thousand+» rather than making numbers up. SpinHire is on the list too, and we judge it by the same criteria, drawbacks included.

Industry job boards
GamblingCareers.com. One of the oldest English-language boards, where operators and providers from Malta, Cyprus and Gibraltar post jobs directly. The database is large and the categories familiar: support, compliance, product, marketing, development. Pros: plenty of direct employers rather than just agencies, handy country filters. Cons: salaries almost never appear in listings, the interface is English-only, and Russian-speaking roles are scarce. Who it suits: specialists with working English who are considering relocation to Europe.
iGB Jobs. The jobs section of the industry publication iGaming Business. Fewer listings than the specialist boards, but the brands are big: a company that pays to advertise next to industry news is usually not a three-person start-up. Pros: the platform's reputation, very little junk. Cons: low volume, salaries almost never stated. Who it suits: those who already read industry news and are aiming at well-known operators and providers.
igamingcareers.co. A fast-growing board with a large database gathered from around the world. Pros: volume, daily updates, categories by function and country. Cons: a sizeable share of listings is collected automatically and redirects to the employer's site, salaries are rarely stated, English only. Who it suits: broad searches where you want to see the whole market first and filter afterwards.
GamblingIndustryJobs.com. A small board leaning towards the British market and land-based gambling. Volume is modest and updates are uneven, but jobs occasionally surface there that the big platforms don't have. Who it suits: as a third or fourth source, not your main one.
Recruitment agencies
Pentasia. The industry's largest specialist agency, with offices in Europe and beyond. It works mainly with mid-level+, senior and leadership roles. Pros: a recruiter guides you through the process and negotiates your salary, and Pentasia's annual Salary Guide remains one of the few public benchmarks for salary ranges in the industry. Cons: almost no junior positions, listings are often anonymous (the company is hidden until the first call), and the agency acts in the interests of the employer, who pays the fee. Who it suits: experienced specialists and anyone who wants to change company quietly.
BettingJobs.com. A British agency that has long specialised in betting and iGaming. Plenty of roles in trading, risk management, product and B2B sales. Pros: some listings show a salary range, and the recruiters know the UK and Malta markets well. Cons: the same as with any agency: you are not the only candidate in the funnel, and feedback depends on how busy a particular consultant is. Who it suits: mid-level and senior candidates with English, especially in sports betting.
TalentBet. An agency that works actively with companies in Cyprus and Eastern Europe and with Ukrainian teams. Strongest in product, marketing and development. Pros: they understand what candidates from Ukraine and the CIS are dealing with and help with relocation. Cons: salaries are not disclosed in public listings, the number of open jobs is small, and some positions are filled from the database rather than via the website. Who it suits: those who want someone to negotiate on their behalf and are happy to go through a recruiter.
General platforms: LinkedIn, Djinni, hh.ru
LinkedIn Jobs. Search for «iGaming», «casino» or «sportsbook» and LinkedIn returns thousands of jobs worldwide; it is the only platform where operators, providers and agencies all advertise side by side. Pros: volume, one-click applications, and you can see the recruiter and mutual connections. Cons: lots of duplicates and «permanently open» positions, salaries are rarely stated (except in countries where the law requires it), and competition for a visible job runs to hundreds of applicants. Who it suits: everyone, with one caveat: LinkedIn works better as a networking tool than as a job feed. We covered how to build your profile in separate article.
Djinni. A Ukrainian anonymous platform for IT: you fill in a profile with your expected salary and companies message you first. The domain filter includes Gambling, and developers, QA, analysts and product managers for operators and providers are always listed there. Pros: salary is discussed up front, the employer sees your expectations before the first message, plenty of remote work. Cons: IT roles only, the interface is in Ukrainian and English, and non-technical jobs (support, VIP, affiliates) are almost absent. Who it suits: developers and QA from Ukraine, and anyone willing to work remotely for Ukrainian and Cypriot teams.
hh.ru. The largest board in Russia and Kazakhstan. The word «iGaming» rarely appears there; listings more often say «betting», «bookmaker», «gambling» or hide the industry behind phrases like «an international entertainment product». Pros: a large share of listings state a salary, everything is in Russian, and there are plenty of support, marketing and development roles at licensed bookmakers. Cons: offshore operators and crypto casinos are almost absent because of the platform's rules, and jobs with relocation to Cyprus come mostly from agencies. Who it suits: those looking for work in Russia or Kazakhstan with licensed bookmakers or development companies.
Telegram channels
In Russian-speaking iGaming, Telegram has long functioned as a parallel labour market. Large channels such as @betting_job (around 10,000 subscribers) publish dozens of jobs a day, and operators, affiliate programmes and agencies run their own channels. Some of those jobs never reach any website: a recruiter posts, gets 40 CVs by the evening and closes the position.
Pros: speed, salaries are stated in posts noticeably more often than on the boards, direct contact with the recruiter. Cons: no search, history gets lost, zero moderation, so a listing from a licensed operator may sit next to an ad from an «unlicensed casino paying in USDT» with no legal entity behind it. You will have to vet the employer yourself. Who it suits: those ready to react within the first hours after a post goes up and able to tell a proper offer from a dodgy one. SpinHire has channels too: @spinhire_ru in Russian and @spinhire in English, where the digest and hot jobs paying $5k+ go. They are young and the audience is still small.
SpinHire
SpinHire is a job board with Russian as its first language that combines direct postings from employers with aggregation: every 6 hours a crawler visits the careers pages of operators, providers and affiliate programmes and removes closed jobs. As of 3 September 2026 the database holds 5,600 live jobs from 1,000+ companies. Alongside the jobs feed, there are 35 profession cards with salary ranges and requirements, a labour market page showing the distribution of jobs by country and function, and an open, keyless API under a CC BY 4.0 licence from which researchers and other services can pull data. The interface is translated into Russian, English and 10 more languages.
Pros: the largest Russian-language database for the industry, honest filtering (irrelevant jobs are removed automatically), an easy way in for newcomers via profession cards and articles such as "How to get into iGaming with no experience". Cons, stated honestly: the project is young and recruiters outside the Russian-speaking market don't know the brand yet; a noticeable share of jobs is aggregated and the apply button sends you to the employer's site; a salary is stated in only around 5% of listings. The last point is not a SpinHire quirk but the state of the market: iGaming employers do not publish salary ranges, and any board that shows a salary «on every job» is either making it up or showing an estimate. We put our estimates in the profession cards and the 2026 salary review, and in the listing itself we leave only what the employer wrote.
Who it suits: Russian-speaking candidates at any level, people entering the industry who first want to understand what roles even exist, and anyone who needs a view of the whole market rather than a single job.
How to search effectively
- Combine three sources, not one. A working combination for a Russian-speaking candidate: SpinHire or GamblingCareers as the base, LinkedIn for networking and direct messages to recruiters, and one or two Telegram channels for speed. Developers from Ukraine add Djinni; candidates in Russia and Kazakhstan add hh.ru.
- Set up alerts. On the boards and on LinkedIn, save 2–3 searches (role + «iGaming», role + «casino», role + «sportsbook») with a daily email. A fresh job you apply to within the first 24 hours gets many times more attention than the same job two weeks later.
- Go to careers pages directly. Large companies publish everything on their own sites and don't always duplicate it on the boards. Start with Betsson, Evolution, SOFTSWISS and Kaizen Gaming, then add the 5–10 companies that come up most often in search results for your role.
- Get two or three recruiters on your side. Pentasia, BettingJobs and TalentBet see positions that never go public. Send your CV, briefly describe what you are looking for, and check in once a quarter.
- Sell your languages. Support, VIP and affiliate management in less common languages (Finnish, Norwegian, Japanese, Turkish, Portuguese for Brazil) pay 20–30% more than the same roles in English. If you have a second language, put it in your CV headline.
What to watch out for
- «Onboarding» deposits. No legitimate employer asks a candidate to pay for a background check, training, equipment or an «insurance fee». A request to transfer money at any stage means you are dealing with scammers, not an operator.
- Grey operators without a licence. Ask which licence the product operates under and check it in the register: the MGA register for Malta, the UKGC public register for the UK. A Curaçao or Anjouan licence is not a crime in itself, but it means looking more closely at the legal entity and the contract.
- Crypto pay with no contract. USDT is widespread in iGaming and not a problem in itself. The problem is when there is no contract, no legal entity and no clear payment date. Ask for a contract with the company's details even when you are paid in stablecoins.
- A job with no company and no name. An anonymous listing from an agency is normal; an anonymous listing from an «international holding» with a Telegram contact and a demand to send your passport before the first call is not.
- Promises of «up to $10k with no experience». Real junior salary ranges in support, marketing and KYC sit at €1–1.6k. If the starting rate in a listing is three times the market, it is either cold-calling sales or a scam.
FAQ
Where can I find iGaming jobs with no experience?
Start with an industry board that filters by seniority level (SpinHire, GamblingCareers) and with Telegram channels: that is where most junior positions in support, KYC and affiliate marketing are. Agencies like Pentasia hardly ever work with newcomers.
Why do iGaming jobs rarely state a salary?
Employers don't want to reveal their ranges to competitors and prefer to negotiate individually. On most boards, 5–10% of listings state a salary. Take your benchmarks from profession cards and salary reviews, and clarify the range on the first call.
Do I need to pay for access to jobs?
No. All 12 platforms in this review are free for candidates; employers pay. LinkedIn Premium speeds up applications but is not essential. Any request to pay for «database access» or «onboarding» is a sign of a scam.
Which site is best for Russian-speaking candidates?
SpinHire for searching the whole market in Russian, hh.ru for jobs in Russia and Kazakhstan, Telegram channels for fast applications. For positions in Malta and Cyprus you will still need English and the English-language boards.
How can I tell whether an employer is legitimate?
Check the licence in the regulator's register (MGA, UKGC, the local regulator), find the legal entity and the office, and ask for a contract before you start. No licence and no contract combined with crypto pay is two red flags at once.
