Dean Ryan

Casino & Betting Expert

Dean is a seasoned gambling expert with nearly 20 years of experience in the industry, spanning product development, VIP account management and content leadership.

His real-world gambling knowledge enables him to help fellow players make more informed, confident decisions across both casino and sports betting.


Born to Bet

The son of a professional gambler, Dean’s early years were shaped not only by a love of finding winners, but by the principles of value, discipline and long-term thinking that define successful betting. While it may have felt inevitable that he’d end up in the industry, he first applied those lessons in the world of finance and wealth management, where he developed the keen analytical thinking and measured approach to risk and reward that still define his work today.


“From the moment I was old enough to place a bet, I’ve been driven by the thrill of testing my judgement and gaining an edge.”

Under Starters Orders

Dean’s professional journey in the gambling world began with his passion for horse racing. He worked as a racing consultant for various sportsbooks and later founded RacingFM, an independent radio station that reached a peak audience of 70,000 listeners. These early ventures opened the door to collaborations with major gambling brands such as 888 and BetVictor, helping establish Dean’s reputation as a credible and knowledgeable figure in betting and gaming.


Inside Insight

Dean went on to join the aptly named BetBright, where he combined his sharp betting instincts with a growing focus on casino operations and game strategy. In managing VIP players and high-rollers, he gained hands-on insight into player behaviour and high-stakes decision-making – a role that regularly took him to Las Vegas and its iconic casino floors.


Playing It Right

Dean is a fierce advocate for responsible gambling. With a deep understanding of player behaviour, he consistently promotes the importance of setting limits, maintaining control and betting within one’s means. Whether discussing strategy or game mechanics, Dean’s guidance is firmly rooted in the principle that informed, responsible play leads to a more enjoyable and sustainable gambling experience.


Role at Gambling.com

At Gambling.com, Dean plays a pivotal role in shaping the site’s content strategy and delivering player-first resources across both casino and sports. His work ranges from in-depth strategy guides – like when to double down in blackjack or how to card count – to clear, accessible explanations of betting markets. 

Combining expert gambling know-how with editorial precision, Dean is committed to clarity, accuracy and the delivery of trustworthy, data-backed insight.


Where You’ll Find Him

Originally from London, Dean has lived and worked in Dublin for many years. Outside of work, when family commitments permit, you might spot him at one of Ireland’s many racecourses – or, occasionally, back at the tables in Las Vegas.
