About Australian Gamblers

Australian Gamblers wouldn’t be what it is without our star writer Mike – a former professional poker player who has participated in the world’s biggest poker tournaments, including the WSOP, WPT World Championship, EPT, and more (he also used to play blackjack and pokies but doesn’t brag about it… shh). Right now, Mike works as a full-time reviewer and writer for Australian Gamblers to pass on all the knowledge he has gathered in his 20 years of experience playing on casino floors.
