Freelance Industry News Editor & Writer (Danish iGaming Market)
WFA Digital Insight
Raketech’s Danish iGaming news desk is looking for a freelancer who can own the entire editorial chain—from spotting regulatory shifts to turning quarterly reports into readable stories. Unlike typical content gigs that recycle press releases, this role demands original angles on licensing, compliance and market finance, requiring a solid grasp of Denmark’s gambling framework. The position sits within an affiliate‑focused performance team, meaning every piece must also serve internal SEO goals and feed commercial pages. Candidates should be comfortable publishing via a CMS, linking internally, and meeting tight news cycles, while maintaining the editorial rigor of a newsroom. Fluency in Danish and a journalist’s nose for breaking industry beats are non‑negotiable.

Write clear, engaging, and accurate articles covering the Danish gambling and iGaming industry
Monitor regulatory, political, and financial developments within the market

How to Stand Out
- Prepare a short writing sample that demonstrates your ability to translate complex Danish regulatory language into clear, engaging English content.
- Highlight any previous iGaming or financial journalism work in your portfolio, especially pieces that required rapid turnaround.
- Familiarize yourself with Raketech’s CMS (or similar platforms) and be ready to discuss your publishing workflow during the interview.
- Emphasize your Excel skills by showcasing how you’ve used spreadsheets for data analysis or tracking story ideas.
- During negotiations, reference the freelance nature of the role and propose a per‑article rate that reflects the research depth required.

- Be ready to discuss how you stay up‑to‑date with Danish gambling regulations and how you would source breaking news quickly.
