Hi, I’m David! I’ve been writing about gambling since university in London, UK, in 2014, and I haven’t stopped since. As a staff writer here at Let’sGambleUSA, I enjoy delving into U.S. gambling stories to find unique sources, information and perspectives that fully contextualize each piece of news.
Lover of general knowledge, Americana, soccer (specifically Everton FC), craft beer with good friends, the eternal dream of winning a progressive jackpot slot, all kinds of creative writing and Dungeons & Dragons.
