Jamie Smith

Sport and Casino Writer, Editor, Blogger, Podcaster

Jamie Smith is Senior Feature Writer at PeakyCasino, covering casino reviews, live dealer products, sports betting crossover, and regulatory developments. With more than a decade in iGaming and sports media, Jamie pairs a journalist's research discipline with hands-on player experience.

A graduate of the University of Sunderland, Jamie began his career writing football coverage for MSN, AOL, and Omnisport (now STATS Perform). He moved into gambling content in the mid-2010s, contributing to operator-side editorial teams before going independent.

Jamie tests every casino he writes about — registering, completing KYC, depositing via at least two payment methods, and requesting a withdrawal before publishing. He tracks UKGC, MGA, and emerging US state-level regulatory shifts, and refuses to cover any operator without responsible gambling tools.
