When he’s not at one of Ireland’s stunning racecourses, you’ll likely find Dean enjoying a round of golf or a game of cards.

At Gambling.com, I get the opportunity to provide an opinion on many topics across both casino and sports. I love Las Vegas and the Cheltenham Festival - not at the same time, of course!”Dean Ryan
