Expertise

At Gaming America, Colin covers breaking developments across the betting sector, including operator strategy, legislative battles, product innovation, and the growing convergence between sports media and wagering technology. His coverage frequently explores how sportsbooks, regulators, media companies, and technology platforms are reshaping the future of sports betting.

In recent years, Colin has closely followed the rise of prediction markets and the regulatory friction developing between traditional sportsbook operators and new event contract platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket. His work has examined how these markets are challenging existing frameworks overseen by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission while attracting growing interest from both sports bettors and institutional investors.

Before covering the gambling industry full time, Colin spent years writing about major professional and collegiate sports across outlets including Heavy.com and College Football Network, covering leagues such as the Major League Baseball, National Football League, and National Basketball Association. A former professional baseball player drafted by the San Diego Padres, he brings a unique insider perspective on the relationship between sports culture, fandom, and wagering markets.

Alongside his journalism career, Colin has worked extensively in digital media strategy and audience growth, helping build content ecosystems across sports and betting media. His expertise sits at the intersection of editorial coverage, betting intelligence, and the broader media infrastructure that connects fans, sportsbooks, and technology platforms.
