About this site
Pokerfuse is an independent online poker news and analysis publisher covering regulated markets in the US, UK, and internationally. Co-founded by Nick Jones and Michael Gentile, the site launched on 15 April 2011. Black Friday, as a live-news outlet for players trying to understand the US poker-site shutdowns, frozen funds, and the legal fallout that followed.
Its clearest differentiator is consumer-facing poker industry journalism rather than live tournament reporting alone: legislation and regulation, room updates, operator reviews, bonuses, and related online casino and sports-betting coverage aimed at players who need practical market context. The brand sits inside Fuse Media alongside Poker Industry PRO, RotoTracker, and Combonator, and the consumer site is operated under Game Theory Optimal LLC.
Pokerfuse discloses affiliate relationships and says editorial aims include fair reporting regardless of commercial partnerships. Readers should still treat room and offer recommendations as commercially influenced while using the site primarily for news and regulatory analysis.
For directory purposes, Pokerfuse fits online poker as a global news/trade publisher specializing in online-poker market coverage and regulated-market consumer reporting.
