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.

Baccarat Third Card Rule Explained

  • Charles Perrin
    Digital sports writer
Unlike some variants, standard punto banco baccarat dictates that the Player and Banker hands do not decide freely whether to take a third card. The baccarat third card rule in this game is predetermined; third-card decisions are carried out automatically in accordance with fixed game rules. Although the Player rule may seem simple, the Banker rule depends on two factors — the Banker total and the Player’s third card when one is drawn. Meanwhile, a natural 8 or 9 usually ends further drawing. But what should you expect from the third card rule? This guide explores the inner workings, assesses Player...

Baccarat Bets Explained: Banker, Player & Tie

  • Charles Perrin
    Digital sports writer
Baccarat can look complicated, but the premise is simple: the winning hand is the one with a total closest to 9. Baccarat betting revolves around three core bets – Banker, Player and Tie. These bets can create confusion, but they refer to hands dealt as opposed to the person physically playing. Each bet has distinct payouts and mathematical house edges, and some may seem more attractive than others. Nevertheless, no baccarat bet guarantees a winning outcome, so players should act cautiously. Let’s dive straight in and explore the various main bets and side bets associated with baccarat. If you’re new to...

European vs American Roulette: What’s the Difference?

  • Charles Perrin
    Digital sports writer
Roulette is an iconic live casino game, but how does European vs American roulette compare? Although the basic game structures are similar, the wheel layouts are different. European roulette contains 37 pockets, consisting of numbers 1-36 and a single 0. In contrast, American roulette has 38 pockets: numbers 1-36, a 0 and 00. Naturally, the additional zero in American roulette affects the house edge and probabilities. American roulette has a higher house edge (5.26%) compared to its European counterpart (2.70%). Our in-depth guide tackles the key facets of European roulette and American roulette, assessing payouts, wheel layout, and available bets.JTNDc2NyaXB0JTIwdHlwZSUzRCUyMnRleHQlMkZqYXZhc2NyaXB0JTIyJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZqcy43YmV0LnBhcnRuZXJzJTJGamF2YXNjcmlwdC5waHAlM0ZwcmVmaXglM0RnMHRwcEFNSVpFbTJ1MDhxTm84b2JXTmQ3WmdxZFJMayUyNmFtcCUzQm1lZGlhJTNENDc0JTI2YW1wJTNCY2FtcGFpZ24lM0Q0MCUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRnNjcmlwdCUzRQ== European vs...
