About Me

My name is Oliver Cook. I am a native Brit living in the iGaming hub of Malta, in the heart of the Mediterranean. I come from a creative background, being a passionate writer, artist, and photographer, and I studied visual communications and graphic design at university. My first novel was published in 2011, and I entered the iGaming industry at the start of 2016.

Since then, I have worked for several casino and sportsbook operators, game and platform providers, and affiliate marketing businesses. I was also co-founder and editor-in-chief of AYO.NEWS - a B2B news website covering the iGaming, video gaming, esports, crypto, AI, fintech, and related sectors.

Over the past few years, I have written and edited content for many online gaming brands, and ghostwritten pieces for the industry's biggest media publications. I have also helped arrange and plan interviews with leading entrepreneurs and been involved with strategic planning and branding decisions.
