Charles Perrin

I’m a highly experienced and agile iGaming writer with over seven years of experience. Before delving into iGaming, I worked at the Daily Express, initially as an online sports reporter, covering a wide range of sports before taking on the overnight editorship, managing a small team and helping to raise organic traffic levels.
Making the transition from journalist/editor into sports betting was seamless, but I’ve also added casino content as another string to my bow.

Writing Approach

I tailor every article to my reader’s needs. Sports betting and wagering on casino games is never easy, so I always try to break down complex concepts and present them in a way that resonates with the target audience. Each time I produce a piece, I always think about whether I have explained things concisely enough to make it simple enough to grasp.

How Do You Stay Up to Date?

Aside from watching as many live games as possible, I use apps, such as the Premier League’s official one, to stay on top of the latest developments in the build-up to and post match. 

I also like to keep abreast of any regulatory developments across the sports betting and casino industries, so I can be in the know about emerging trends.

What Happens With Two Aces in Blackjack?

  • Charles Perrin
    Digital sports writer
The ace is the most flexible card in blackjack. Two aces in blackjack can count as a soft 12 (one ace as 11, the other as 1) or as a 2. Most players will choose to split a pair of aces into two separate hands, each starting with an ace. After splitting aces, most tables will deal only one more card to each ace. Want to know what happens with two aces in blackjack? This guide seeks to fill some gaps in your knowledge.JTNDc2NyaXB0JTIwdHlwZSUzRCUyMnRleHQlMkZqYXZhc2NyaXB0JTIyJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZqcy43YmV0LnBhcnRuZXJzJTJGamF2YXNjcmlwdC5waHAlM0ZwcmVmaXglM0RnMHRwcEFNSVpFbTJ1MDhxTm84b2JXTmQ3WmdxZFJMayUyNmFtcCUzQm1lZGlhJTNENDc0JTI2YW1wJTNCY2FtcGFpZ24lM0Q0MCUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRnNjcmlwdCUzRQ== How Two Aces Are Valued Aces play a vital role in the game, and they can give players flexibility....
