Jon Bruford
iGaming Industry Analyst
I spent 17 years as Managing Editor of Casino International before becoming Publishing Director at Fulwood Media and co-founding The Gaming Boardroom. I co-host The Gambling Files podcast — one of the industry's most listened-to weekly shows — alongside Fintan Costello, and I contribute opinion columns to iGaming Business. My writing cuts to the heart of gambling regulation, responsible gaming, and the politics that shape this industry. I've never shied away from a controversial take, and I believe the industry is best served by honest, working-class common sense rather than PR-polished talking points.
