David Thompson

David Turner is an iGaming analyst and technical editor who combines data analytics expertise with hands-on casino testing to ensure gambling content is both accurate and discoverable. With over six years of experience in digital publishing and analytics, he approaches online casinos through systems thinking, measurable performance, and player-focused optimization.

Before entering gambling media, David built his career in data analytics, working on performance modeling, behavioral analysis, and technical optimization. That background shaped his approach to iGaming, where small variables such as payout tables, bonus conditions, and load speed can materially affect player outcomes. His transition into gambling content began through consultancy work, helping publishers recover traffic while improving content quality and structural clarity.

At Gaming America, David is responsible for technical SEO, content architecture, and performance-led casino guides. He works closely with editorial teams to ensure casino reviews, strategy content, and comparison pages align with real search intent while maintaining analytical rigor and editorial judgment.

David also brings specialist knowledge of video poker, one of the most data-sensitive casino games. He has tested multiple variants across online casinos, analyzing paytables, return-to-player percentages, volatility, and optimal strategy alignment. His work focuses on identifying games that offer fair mathematical value, transparent rules, and reliable long-term performance rather than superficial features.
