About Us

The World Sports Network, or WSN, is an independent online sports and betting guide that features news, stories, picks, predictions and odds on the basis of a set of guiding editorial principles.

Our international team of sports and betting experts deliver in-depth reviews of major legal sportsbooks, breaking US and world sports news, betting statistics and tips, previews, and the best predictions and odds coverage online for hundreds of competitions around the globe.

Ad Disclosure - The links on WSN that direct you to sportsbooks, casinos, or sweepstakes sites are affiliate links, meaning that we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. We strive to present you with the best sign-up offers and bonuses, but most importantly, with the most accurate information. You can rest assured that our affiliate agreement does not affect that.

WSN was founded in 2005 and redesigned in 2016. It is operated by the Danish media company, Rebel Penguin ApS, which is in turn owned by Gaming Innovation Group.

WSN was included on AlwaysOn’s 2009 OnHollywood Top 100 which recognises top private media companies considered to be “game-changing players in the digital entertainment industries.”

In 2017, Rebel Penguin ApS was acquired by Gaming Innovation Group (GiG) and WSN.com is now fully owned by one of the world’s leading online gaming companies.
