The LSR questionnaire with Brian

  1. What first drew you into the gambling industry?

I’ve always had a deep love for sports, and over time I became increasingly familiar with how they intersect with the betting industry. My entry into the professional world after college happened to align with the repeal of PASPA, which opened the door for sports betting and iGaming more broadly to begin booming. Making the move into this industry felt like a natural next step.

  1. What feature do you wish all online casinos had?

Universal, portable loyalty programs. The ability to carry your status and rewards across operators instead of starting from zero every time you try a new site.

2. What’s your go-to line when someone finds out you write about gambling and immediately asks for a “hot tip”?

    I tell them that I am not a professional gambler by any stretch and that if we had those answers, everyone would do it and we’d all be millionaires.

    3. What’s the next big brain-melting gambling innovation?

      Sweepstakes casinos potentially forcing a reckoning on how regulators define and treat real-money-adjacent play. That could reshape the legal landscape as much as any new tech.
