What makes Ziv an expert?

A proud University of Pittsburgh alumni, Ziv is a diehard fan of the Pitt football and basketball teams, the NFL’s Pittsburgh Steelers, and the MLB’s Pirates. When it comes to his other passion, which is gambling, Pittsburgh’s Rivers Casino is one of his favorite hangouts. Prior to establishing Major League Content and becoming a full-time journalist, Ziv covered the gambling industry and American sports news as a hobby in various blogs and publications. Ziv always loved the glitz and glamour of the casino world and used to spend his student holidays in Las Vegas and Atlantic City. He then decided to pursue a career in gambling, and his first job out of university was as a marketing manager at a casino. After more than 20 years in the industry, Ziv decided to combine his love of gambling with his passion for journalism. Having written thousands of casino reviews, game guides, gambling legislation pieces, and news articles, he has never looked back ever since.
"The regulation of iGaming in the US is taking more time than sports betting, but it’s happening slowly but surely. Seven US states have launched iGaming, and each is seeing huge success in tax revenues that benefit the local community. It’s the safest alternative to iGaming, and progress can’t be stopped, so more iGaming states are coming soon - watch this space."
How does Ziv stay up to date?
Staying up to date with industry news and events is more than a part of Ziv’s job. Waking up every morning, grabbing a cup of coffee, and discovering all the new stories his colleagues are writing about is one of his favorite parts of the day. Here are a few of his favorite publications (which he writes for as well):
- CDC Gaming
For everything that has to do with land-based gaming in the US, Ziv turns to CDC Gaming.
- SBC News
SBC News is an upbeat publication written by industry insiders, for industry insiders.
- ESPN
ESPN provides all the latest sports betting and gambling news.
What iGaming events does Ziv recommend?
The iGaming industry has been a “young” industry for nearly three decades, constantly going through innovation, growth, regulation, and other tectonic shifts. This is why it’s so important to attend industry events and conferences, to try to stay ahead of the curve and keep up with the new technology, game releases, new markets, and the people that drive all these iGaming trends.
- SBC Summit North America
"It's not one of the industry’s biggest events (yet), but SBC Summit North America is one of the best places to meet anyone and everyone who’s involved in iGaming in the US and Canada."
- Global Gaming Expo
"Also known as G2E, the Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas is held by the American Gaming Association, one of the most influential and insightful organizations in the industry. It’s where iGaming and land-based gaming meet."
- SBC Summit
"The SBC Summit used to be held in Barcelona, where it was a powerhouse for the global iGaming and online sports betting industry. It’s going to be debuting its new home in Lisbon this year - something we’re all looking forward to!"
