Emmie Matthews and Ed Stevens pitched Gaming Alerts in season 5, offering an affiliate marketing website that referred players to online bingo, casino, and poker sites in exchange for commission.

The answer here is no. Gaming Alerts Limited was formally dissolved in 2011, four years after the deal was struck on air.

What they pitched in the Den

Matthews and Stevens originally asked for £200,000 in exchange for 10% of the business. Theo Paphitis agreed to invest the full £200,000 but only for 30% equity, a much steeper price for the founders than they had first proposed.

The business model was straightforward affiliate marketing in the online gambling space, sending traffic and new sign ups to gambling operators and earning a cut for each referred customer, a crowded and fast moving corner of the internet even back in 2007.

Are they still trading?

No. UK Companies House records show Gaming Alerts Limited, company number 05601976, as dissolved on 20 September 2011, roughly four years after the deal was struck on air.

The online gambling affiliate market of that period was intensely competitive, with far larger, better funded operators fighting for the same referral traffic, which is a plausible backdrop to the wind-down.

What happened to the product?

The company's formal dissolution in 2011 marks the clean end of the business as it was pitched.

If you are looking for gambling affiliate or comparison sites today, Gaming Alerts is not one of the surviving names from that era, and any site using a similar name should be treated as unrelated.

Note: Status checked July 2026; company situations change, so treat this as a snapshot.
