DK InfoWhat DK Info is
DK Info is an independent US-based information portal that publishes structured reference content on regulated gaming promotions, with a specific focus on how promotional mechanics function under state licensing. We are not an operator, we are not an affiliate broker, and we are not a review site. We publish reference material that treats readers as adults capable of understanding an economic mechanic if it is explained clearly.
The site was founded in 2019 as an editorial project to fill a gap in the online information landscape. The commercial affiliate portals that dominate search results for gaming keywords tend toward promotional framing that obscures how the underlying mechanics actually work. Regulatory summaries from state agencies are accurate but rarely written for a general reader. DK Info sits in between: analytical enough to be substantive, accessible enough to be useful.
Editorial scope
Our coverage centers on the seven US states with licensed online casino operations in 2026 - New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Connecticut, Delaware, and Rhode Island - and on the federal framework that shapes state licensing. We cover promotional mechanics (no deposit offers, deposit-match programs, loyalty structures), regulatory context (state licensing, UIGEA, KYC and geolocation requirements), and consumer economics (wagering math, expected value, tax posture on winnings).
We do not publish real-time offer inventories or affiliate links to operators. Our editorial position is that current offer terms change constantly, and that the more useful contribution a reference portal can make is a durable explanation of how the mechanics work rather than a live listing of specific numbers that will be stale within weeks.
Meet Amanda Foster
Amanda Foster is the Research Editor at DK Info and the byline on every substantive reference piece we publish. Her editorial focus is US regulated gaming, with an emphasis on how promotional mechanics actually function under state regulation. She writes structured reference content that treats readers as adults, and she has a documented preference for math-first explanations over marketing-first ones.
Amanda's background is in US financial-services journalism, with prior editorial work covering consumer credit disclosure and payment-processor economics. That background is what shaped the DK Info editorial voice: analytical, structured, and willing to explain the economics that promotional copy usually avoids. When you read a reference here, you are getting Amanda's editorial judgment as much as the underlying facts.
Honest AI-assistance disclosure
DK Info uses AI-assisted drafting tools in its editorial workflow. Every published reference piece is drafted with the help of large language models, then reviewed, fact-checked, restructured, and edited by Amanda before publication. AI is a productivity tool for us in the same way that a spreadsheet is a productivity tool for a financial analyst. It does not replace editorial judgment, and it does not have a byline on our site. The byline is a real person doing real editorial work on top of AI-assisted drafts.
We disclose this because we think readers are entitled to know how the content they read is produced. The disclosure does not change the standard we hold the published work to - we still fact-check against public regulatory sources, we still cite specific state and federal statutes, and we still update pages when the facts shift. It just means we are honest about the drafting process rather than pretending otherwise.
How the site is funded
DK Info operates as a small editorial project. Site operating costs are covered by the parent editorial entity, DK Info Media LLC, a US limited liability company based in Boston, Massachusetts. We do not accept direct advertising from gaming operators, we do not run affiliate commission programs on operator brands, and we do not sell or share reader data. Our funding model is intentionally simple, and it keeps the editorial position independent of any specific operator's commercial interests.
