Experience & Background
Matthew has 15+ years in iGaming, with a stated focus on games, like online poker, pai gow, and the strategies that make players successful. He has published for the UK branch of PokerNews.com and was promoted to Senior Editor at PokerNews in 2023. His wider writing credits in the source material include sports betting, American sports, football, and video games. At Maple Casino, his contributions can be described as fact-driven pieces for Canadian players, with coverage of games, players, and tournaments.
Approach to reviews
Matthew often writes from first-hand experience and his content aims to explain how games work in simple terms. His coverage centres on the mechanics of each game, the choices players face, and the information readers need before playing online or on the casino floor.
Matthew’s coverage is shaped by direct experience as a poker player and by his long-running work in poker media. That combination helps him explain game decisions in a way that is practical rather than abstract.
What shapes his perspective
His background includes real play as much as reporting. The source material states that he is an avid poker player and has played a wide range of poker formats. That perspective fits his Maple Casino work, which focuses on helping readers understand how games actually play.
