About David

David has covered the gambling business as a journalist since 2014. He joined Gambling Insider as a staff writer, came back as its editor in 2018 and ran the magazine until 2020, between those spells reporting on Asia-Pacific sports TV markets for SportBusiness Group. He has more than 800 industry articles to his name.

At Plinko.ing he runs the editorial process: who writes which page, which sources a page has to rest on, and the final check on casino lists, country pages and payment methods before they go up.

How David works on a page

  1. Source first

    Every page rests on a named source: the casino’s own terms and cashier, the studio’s game page, the regulator’s text. A page without one does not go up.

  2. Figures against source

    Offers, wagering, limits and payout times are checked line by line against the casino’s terms on the day of the check.

  3. Country fit

    A casino appears for a country only when it takes players from it; offshore casinos carry the ¹ note.

  4. Dated changes

    Every update is listed under Page history with its date.
