Dustin Gouker has been in the gambling industry in one way or another for two decades; he started out playing poker and creating poker content. In 2015 he had a chance to join a startup to lead the Legal Sports Report blog in its early days of covering the daily fantasy sports industry. From there he helped to build LSR into the go-to source of information about the sports betting industry, along with growing a network of other gambling content sites that became leaders in the space. The startup was acquired in 2017 by Catena Media, where Dustin became the head of content and eventually a vice president for North America.
