Mastering Digital PR in iGaming: Insights from Digital Web Solutions

HIPTHER, the organizer of the Prague Gaming & TECH Summit 2025, is excited to welcome Digital Web Solutions (DWS) as the Selfie Mirror Sponsor and valuable contributor in this year’s event. In this exclusive interview, we speak with Vaibhav Kakkar, CEO and Founder of DWS, to explore how digital PR can help iGaming businesses stand out, the challenges of managing multi-country websites, and the strategies that drive effective link-building in this highly competitive industry.

 

Digital Web Solutions (DWS) is known for its expertise in securing high-authority backlinks and delivering data-driven digital PR. What sets DWS apart in the competitive digital marketing landscape, particularly when working with iGaming clients?

When I started building my first SEO company, SEO Next, in 2008, I saw firsthand how challenging it was to secure quality backlinks, especially in competitive industries like iGaming.

We had to build a system from the ground up, ensuring every link was high-authority, safe, relevant, and impactful. That experience shaped how we operate at Digital Web Solutions today.

For iGaming, link building isn’t just about getting placements. It’s about keeping up with regulations, avoiding risky footprints, and securing real, ranking-driven links.

That’s why we built Boogle, our proprietary tool that scans over 500 million sites each month to uncover the exact links helping competitors win.

With access to 250,000+ publishers and a 30-point quality check, we ensure our clients get links that truly move the needle—without the guesswork.

At our core, we don’t just sell backlinks. We solve SEO problems which is why we love what we do.

 

Managing multiple country websites is a challenge for many iGaming businesses. What advice would you give to operators looking to run multi-location websites effectively while maintaining consistency and compliance?

That’s a great question. When we scaled my previous company, we managed operations across the UK, Australia, and the US, and I quickly learned tha t running multi-location websites is more than just duplicating content—it requires a well-structured strategy.

For iGaming businesses, the biggest challenge is balancing localization with compliance. Regulations vary by country, and what works in one market could lead to penalties in another.

My advice? Invest in a strong technical SEO foundation. Use hreflang tags properly to signal language and regional variations to Google. Maintain separate URLs for each region (e.g., country-specific subdomains or subdirectories) and ensure your content isn’t just translated—it’s localized to reflect cultural and legal differences.

After years of working on this problem like any other agency, we decided to acquire  Hreflang Builder—a tool designed to eliminate traffic cannibalization and ensure search engines understand which page to rank in each market.

Many enterprise CMS platforms struggle with implementing hreflang tags, and for large-scale websites, manually managing them is nearly impossible.  Hreflang Builder automates the entire process, generating XML sitemaps that keep multi-location websites properly indexed and recovering lost revenue.

So, to answer your question, hreflang tags was one part of the solution but the other one is local backlink building.

From a backlink perspective, local authority matters. A .co.uk site ranking in the UK won’t benefit much from links on US-based domains. That’s why, at DWS, we focus on securing geo-relevant backlinks to help brands rank where it matters.

With multiple locations, tracking performance manually can be a nightmare. Tools like Boogle simplify this by helping businesses analyze competitors, track backlink health, and discover high-authority opportunities across different regions.

Since my team and I had been through multi-country issues countless times, I was keen on building tools and automations around it so we can solve our own problems but also serve other companies with the same solution!

 

Digital PR has become a buzzword in recent years. Could you share your approach to leveraging digital PR to help iGaming brands differentiate themselves in a crowded market?

Digital PR has become a buzzword because, frankly, traditional link-building isn’t enough anymore. Google’s algorithm updates have made it clear—authority, trust, and relevance matter more than ever.

Everyone in SEO is talking about Digital PR now, but many are just repackaging outdated strategies with a new name or fail to deliver to their clients. This game isn’t easy to play.

At Digital Web Solutions, we focus on what actually works: securing high-impact, niche-relevant placements that drive both rankings and brand authority.

I saw firsthand that random guest posts and directory links weren’t enough to stand out. You need to earn coverage from the right sources—where your audience actually pays attention.

Here’s how we do it differently:

  1. We go beyond vanity mentions. Many PR campaigns focus on getting brand names out there, but without proper SEO value. We secure editorial links on high-ranking pages, ensuring real authority transfer.
  2. We create stories that get picked up. Instead of generic press releases, we craft exclusive insights, data-driven reports, and unique industry trends that journalists actually want to write about.
  3. We leverage automation to scale where others fail. The reality is, not every agency can secure these placements—outreach alone isn’t enough. That’s why we built Boogle, our AI-powered tool that scans 500M+ sites monthly to identify and secure competitor-grade backlinks at scale.
  4. We understand compliance, especially in iGaming. Many agencies don’t realize how strict this industry is. A single misstep can lead to fines or de-indexing. Our team ensures every campaign meets regulatory standards while still making an impact.

Digital PR isn’t just about getting your name in the press—it’s about building credibility, earning trust, and improving rankings in a way that Google rewards.

DWS prides itself on using an AI-powered approach to link-building. Can you walk us through how this technology works and how it benefits your iGaming clients?

Absolutely. At Digital Web Solutions, we’ve spent years refining our approach to link-building, and AI has been a game-changer. Traditional link-building is slow, manual, and often hit-or-miss.

With Boogle, our AI-powered tool, we’ve automated the process of finding, analyzing, and securing high-value backlinks at scale—something no other solution offers.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Massive Data Processing – Boogle scans 500 million+ websites every month, identifying link opportunities that align with our clients’ SEO strategy. Instead of relying on outdated lists or guesswork, we get real-time data on what’s working now.
  2. Competitor Link Acquisition – iGaming is a fiercely competitive industry, and ranking well often comes down to who has the best links. Boogle analyzes competitors’ backlinks to pinpoint where they’re getting their SEO power, then finds a way to help our clients secure those same placements or even better ones.
  3. Advanced Filtering & Quality Control – Not all links are created equal. Our 30-point quality checklist ensures that every link meets strict SEO standards, covering factors like traffic manipulation, relevancy, and target country traffic. This is critical in iGaming, where compliance and authority matter just as much as rankings.
  4. Scaling What Others Can’t – Many agencies struggle to secure placements on top-ranking pages because it’s a slow, manual process. Boogle eliminates that bottleneck by using AI to automate outreach, track responses, and optimize success rates—allowing us to deliver high-quality backlinks faster and more efficiently.

If you book a call with us, we can also just guide you through the process and help your website get better links!

At the Prague Gaming & TECH Summit 2025, you will be making a Keynote Presentation titled “Game-Changing AI & SEO Strategies to Skyrocket Your Traffic.” Can you give us a sneak peek into the key insights and strategies you’ll be sharing with the audience?

Sure, let me share a little sneak peak!

I’ll be sharing real, battle-tested AI & SEO strategies from my decade of experience in SEO that help iGaming brands rank higher, attract more players, and drive real revenue.

You will walk away with tips to build better backlinks at scale, fix multi-market SEO and how to stay ahead on the SERP.

If you have any questions, there will be a Q&A session as well, and we will be having a booth at the conference too. I am excited to meet every attendee, speaker, and sponsors!
