Methodology
Sample: every job listing indexed by igamingjobs.io with a posting date inside the window, including roles that have since closed. Listings come from employer career pages, recruiter feeds and industry job channels and are deduplicated by content. Listings without a named employer, without a substantive description, or not written in English are excluded, which is why the sample is smaller than the number of raw postings collected. Role families are assigned from the job title by a fixed rule set; a manual check of 30 random listings found 25 assigned correctly and 5 where a second family was also defensible. Seniority comes from the listing text and is only counted where stated. Pay disclosure counts a listing when it states at least one salary figure. Skills and specialisms are extracted from listing text.
This report describes listings on igamingjobs, not the entire iGaming labour market. Coverage grew during 2026, so quarter to quarter changes in raw counts reflect our indexing as much as hiring, and we do not publish growth figures until coverage is stable. Figures are recomputed from the live store. 1,147 roles are live on the board today.
