The media group is the first sports betting-centric channel to earn verification and the Silver Creator Award.

By earning YouTube verification and the platform's Silver Creator Award, WagerTalk TV became the first sports betting-centric channel to earn the designation. 

The group produces six network-quality live broadcasts each day. Offerings range from a daily NHL betting show to weekly international soccer content, while WagerTalk Today is the brand's flagship variety show.

Originally, WagerTalk TV was a YouTube-specific endeavor but under the leadership of Director of Programming Joe Raineri, the brand has grown. 

Launched in August 2022, the WagerTalk TV app pushed the network's content to the Apple, Amazon, Android, and Roku streaming platforms along with social networks such as Twitter and Twitch. 

The network's YouTube channel surpassed 100,000 followers in September, becoming the first sports betting content channel to earn the milestone under the platform's verification on following community guidelines and the legitimacy of subscribers.

WagerTalk Media COO John Adamczak added: "There is zero chance WagerTalk TV is where it is now without Joe, his direction and his amazing team.

"I am a big believer in the Peter principle and I knew Joe had the skill set and knowledge to build what we wanted."

The network's show, Bet On It, has undergone some location and personnel changes through the last few seasons but remains the flagship show. 

Raineri commented: "We recognized early on that sports betting was going to explode across the country and that it was imperative we grow with it.

"Given the technology available, there was no reason to limit our content creation to just a local studio."
