- A series of articles explaining the features of pokerfuse PRO and how to get the greatest benefit from your premium subscription.
Newsbeat is Poker Industry PRO’s aggregation of industry-related news, media and opinion from external sources around the web, exclusive to PRO News and PRO Data subscribers.
Every month, we compile links from hundreds of different sources: igaming news, financial statements and corporate press releases, news from foreign media, opinions and editorials, gaming coverage in mainstream press, community discussion, audio interviews, promotional videos, and more.
Subscribers can keep up to date daily with the latest links through the main Newsbeat page and their exclusive newsletter.
Every link is connected to our extensive database. For Data subscribers, this means there is also a tight integration into the Directory, providing a rich research tool.
This makes Newsbeat a truly unique service—the database already contains over 7000 links spanning more than two years of igaming history, and is growing at a rate of 400 links every month.
Coupled with our industry-leading news—totaling over 6000 articles spanning more than three years—PRO truly is the homepage of the poker industry.
