Bill Gelman

U.S. Casino Expert

Bill Gelman is a nationwide iGaming writer based in South Jersey, the heart of Philadelphia Eagles country. It's the place he has actually called home for the bulk of his life. One of his career highlights was covering the 2018 Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl parade. It just took what looked like a lifetime to experience it.

After investing the early part of his profession being an award-winning newspaper writer, Bill made the dive to the online betting industry in 2018. That would be the exact same year the Garden State legalized sports wagering.

Bill still remembers covering the NJ online casino industry when a $20-million month looked like a big offer. It's news he laughs about today, particularly after the Garden State keeps smashing previous record months. Being a short drive from Atlantic City has actually permitted Bill to cover land-based casino news. Over the years, Bill has secured special interviews with executives representing BetMGM, DraftKings, Caesars, and Acid Rock.

His video gaming market protection has actually appeared on local and national websites, while he suggests using a range of online casino apps with BetMGM, DraftKings, and Borgata being a few of his favorites.
