Write for Us

Pro Slot Games is an independent, multi-vertical gaming publication, and we are always interested in sharp, knowledgeable writers who love games as much as our readers do. If you have a story worth telling about video games, mobile games, tabletop and board games, card games and trading card games, esports, the gaming industry, or gaming culture, we would like to hear from you. This page explains what we look for, how to pitch, and the standards we hold every contributor to.

What We Publish

Our register sits in the enthusiast-professional space, alongside the kind of gaming journalism you would expect from a serious outlet. We favour analysis, explainers, guides, retrospectives, previews, features, and well-argued opinion about real games and the people who make and play them. We are not looking for clickbait, “top 10 you won’t believe” listicles, thin SEO filler, or recycled press releases. The best pitches have one clear idea, a specific angle, and a reason the piece should exist now.

What We Look For in a Pitch

A strong pitch usually includes:

• A working headline and a two- to three-sentence summary of the argument or angle;
• Why you are the right person to write it, and which of our sections it fits;
• A sense of the sources or expertise the piece would draw on;
• One or two links to previous published work, if you have them (not required for talented newcomers).

You do not need a huge portfolio. A clear idea, real knowledge of the subject, and a distinctive voice count for more than a long list of credits.

Our Standards

We hold contributors to the same standards as our staff. In particular:

• Named bylines. We publish under real, named bylines. We do not run anonymous or ghost-written pieces, and we do not sell bylines.
• Real sourcing and accuracy. Claims must be accurate and grounded in reliable sources. Where you cite facts, figures, or quotes, they must be true and verifiable, and pieces should end with genuine sources. Write about games, studios, and mechanics that really exist and that you understand.
• Your own words. We do not accept AI-generated prose submitted as your own writing. We want your voice and your analysis. Plagiarism, spun content, and undisclosed reuse are grounds for rejection.
• No hidden agendas. We do not accept pitches designed to promote a product in disguise, and we do not run affiliate-spam pieces or paid-for coverage dressed up as editorial. Any commercial interest must be disclosed to us upfront.
• No gambling. We do not cover gambling, betting, or casinos. Despite the word “slot” in our name, we cover editorial sections of the gaming world, not gambling, so please do not pitch gambling content.

How to Pitch

Send your pitch by email to editorial@proslotgames.com with a clear subject line, ideally starting with “PITCH” and naming the section, for example “PITCH (Tabletop): why cooperative board games took over the table.” Please pitch rather than sending a finished draft, so we can shape the angle with you before you invest time writing. We read every pitch, but because we are a small, distributed team we cannot always respond individually. If you do not hear back within a couple of weeks, you are welcome to take the idea elsewhere.

Working With Us

If we accept your pitch, an editor will discuss scope, length, deadline, and any terms with you directly. We edit for accuracy, clarity, and house style, and we may ask for revisions. Our aim is always to help your idea reach its best possible version and to give gaming writers a place to do work they are proud of.
