Write for Us Poker: Poker Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Most poker pitches are lists of bonus offers or the same starting hands chart found everywhere. What this blog wants is the thinking behind the game and the business around it: what a coach sees beginners get wrong, how a player manages a bankroll, how a poker creator built an audience, and what readers can learn about decisions under uncertainty.

My readers are business owners, founders and creators who like strategy and card games. They already read my guides to playing offline poker for free, what AI research says about blackjack and poker, free offline card game apps and playing 21 at home. A poker post has to help them play smarter or understand the business of poker.

60-second poker guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Do you play, coach, organise or build a business around poker
• Can you share a real hand, session or business example
• Does your opening answer the reader's question in the first two lines
• Does the post respect responsible play and keep to adult readers
• Have you removed any sales pitch for one site, room or bonus

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

How to submit

Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.

What a strong poker pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about the best poker sites with the biggest bonuses." A strong one says "I coach new players and I want to show the four leaks I see in almost every beginner's game, using hands from my students' sessions, and the drills that fixed them." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• A leak you found in your own game and how you fixed it
• Bankroll rules that kept you playing through a downswing
• Running a home game or club that people come back to
• What poker taught you about business decisions
• Studying with solvers or AI, and where it misleads
• Building a poker content channel or coaching business
• Tells, reads and table talk, explained with real sessions
• Free and offline poker games worth practising on

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept poker guest posts?

Yes. Poker guest posts are welcome from experienced players, coaches, organisers, creators and poker business founders who can share real experience. We publish practical, responsible articles and decline bonus lists and guaranteed win claims.

What poker topics do you accept?

Strategy, bankroll management, poker psychology, home games and tournaments, study tools, free and offline poker games, and growing a poker content or coaching business. The common thread is a real lesson from the table or the business.

Do you accept casino and gambling guest posts too?

Yes. Wider casino and gambling pitches suit the casino and gambling pages better, but every pitch reaches the same editor and the same responsible play standards apply.

How long should a guest post be?

Most accepted posts run between 1,200 and 2,000 words. Length matters less than usefulness: a tight 1,200 word post with one clear lesson beats a 3,000 word overview every time. Use short paragraphs, clear subheadings and at least one real example.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and helps the reader. Posts written purely to build a backlink with no real value for the reader are not published.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn or a guest slot on another site. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before anything goes live.

Can I use AI tools to help write my guest post?

You can use AI to help with research or tidying your draft, but the experience, examples and opinions must be yours. Posts that read like generic AI output, with no first-hand detail, are declined.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a brand or agency wanting to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.

How long does a decision take?

We aim to come back to you within a few working days. If the pitch is specific and clearly written, with the result in the first line, the decision is much faster.

Do you edit guest posts before they go live?

Yes. Every accepted post gets an editorial pass for clarity, structure and accuracy, and you may be asked for an extra example or a missing number. The aim is to make your piece as useful as it can be, not to change your voice.

Can I pitch more than one idea?

Yes, but send them one at a time or as a short numbered list with one line each. The strongest pitch goes first, and a single clear idea with a real result almost always beats several vague ones.

How do I submit a poker guest post?

Send your pitch through the contact form with the topic, the specific result or lesson you will cover, and a line on your own experience playing, coaching or running poker games. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
