Content Editor
Since entering the gambling industry in the mid-2000s, Martin has worked in both freelance and full-time capacities, documenting some of the most transformative periods in modern gaming. He covered the surge of interest during the poker boom, tracked the rise of daily fantasy sports, reported on the state-by-state rollout of legalized sports betting, and continues to follow the growth of social casinos and sweepstakes-based platforms.
Martin’s professional background includes extensive experience as both a content creator and editor for prominent gaming brands, with long stretches at PokerStars and PokerNews among his career highlights. In addition to his industry work, he has spent more than 25 years teaching college-level courses in writing, literature, and film, experience that shapes his structured, research-driven editorial style.
His book "Poker & Pop Culture: Telling the Story of America’s Favorite Card Game" offers a comprehensive look at poker’s development and its depiction across film, television, music, and broader popular culture, and was recognized with a Global Poker Award for Media Content of the Year.
Outside of gambling coverage, Martin has devoted significant attention to horror and science fiction cinema, publishing academic studies as well as creative works, including two novels. His latest essay collection, "Horror and Science Fiction Cinema and Society," was released by Routledge in late 2024.
