Hi Product Hunt — I’m Aleksandrs, founder and editor of THE COOP.

We’re building AI-powered media for people choosing suppliers and making financial product decisions in iGaming. The goal is to connect original journalism with research you can inspect and use, whether you start on our website or inside your AI assistant.

What you can do today:

• Compare suppliers side by side: payment providers, pay-by-bank services, wallets, crypto gateways, platforms, sportsbooks and more. Criteria link to dated sources, and missing information stays visible.

• Analyse the financial products behind an operation: fees, settlement, payouts, contracting entities, treasury flows and integration questions, where documented.

• Research companies through source-linked profiles, evidence labels and published buyer questions and answers.

• Read original interviews and reporting on payments, platforms, technology and the people doing the work.

• Connect THE COOP to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another MCP client to search published stories, provider profiles and events, then open the records and check their sources. The connector is free and needs no account or API key.

AI helps us find, organise and check information. Human editors decide what we publish and remain responsible for it. We show what is documented, distinguish supplier claims from checked facts, and leave unanswered questions visible.

I’d love feedback on two things: Which supplier or financial product decision is hardest to research today? And what evidence would you need before adding a provider to your shortlist?

Serious business. Questionable poultry.
