“90% of Casino Link Building is Snake Oil”: Behind the Scenes with Tommy McDonald of SerpLogic

The casino SEO world is full of big promises, cheap backlinks, and even cheaper excuses when rankings tank.

But not everyone plays the short game.

We caught up with Tommy McDonald, the no-BS founder of SerpLogic, to get the real story behind casino link building in 2026 — what works, what’s a trap, and why most sellers don’t even know what a clean anchor profile looks like.

It’s snake oil.
And it’s why we launched our casino link building product — to be the opposite of that.
