NEW YORK, Aug. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- 5WPR, one of the largest independently-owned PR firms in the U.S., announced today the expansion of their online gaming PR and gambling public relations division due to increased interest in PR support within the industry. The division has experienced rapid growth since the legalization of online sports betting in New York State last year.

5WPR has been appointed agency of record for several leaders in the online gambling space including Jackpot.com, a platform that allows lottery players to securely order official state lottery tickets from their mobile phone, tablet, or desktop, and recently launched in New York State. The agency has a long history of working with emerging and trending markets, including online gambling clients, and have developed a focused and strategic approach to supporting expansions due to regulatory updates.

"Betting continues to become legalized in states across the country, and as the market grows so does the competition for media and consumer attention," said 5WPR Founder and Chairman, Ronn Torossian. "As regulations change, the industry continuously expands into previously untapped markets. We've seen this firsthand in New York State and working with Jackpot.com. It's an exciting time for gambling and lottery companies and now is the time for them to be proactive in their communications programming."
