Catena Media Cuts More Jobs as it Battens Down the Hatches


Catena Media has enacted further reductions to its workforce. The latest cost-cutting drive has affected tech and marketing teams. The company has consolidated its tech and marketing teams, with the regional sites team among the impacted, and stewardship of these assets distributed evenly between the company’s remaining staff.

Catena Media has noted an impact from recent Google updates, which have proven a continuous challenge. The layoffs have, for the time being, transitioned into stronger overall financial performance.

Catena Media is continuing to reduce its workforce as the company taps into AI synergies and tech while trying to lower the costs of operations at a challenging time in the iGaming industry. This is not the first time Catena Media has released people, with the business slashing 50 people in the second quarter of last year. The business also chose to sell its esports brands amid the cost-cutting drive in 2025.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
