Richard Janvrin

Richard Janvrin has almost a decade of newsroom experience and iGaming knowledge to bring to Webopedia’s online gambling coverage. A summa cum laude graduate of the University of New Hampshire (BA, Journalism & English), Richard has one of the most published bylines in U.S. iGaming: from Forbes Advisor, Sportsnet, and TalkSport to flagship affiliate networks such as Catena Media, Gambling.com Group, and BetMGM. His portfolio includes every content type, state-by-state compliance explainers, evergreen betting glossaries, NFL and college-sports previews, promo-code trackers, and full-scope casino reviews, giving readers a 360-degree view of how bonuses, odds, and legislation intersect. Based in Seabrook, New Hampshire, Richard tracks the fast-changing U.S. regulatory landscape in real-time, translating legal fine print into step-by-step guidance for casual bettors and high-volume casino players. Since 2015 he has published thousands of articles breaking down everything from variable RTP mechanics to the tax implications of multi-state wagering, and has written for The Sun, PFF, World Sports Network, and Advance Local’s network of regional news sites. What sets Richard apart is his ability to combine investigative reporting with conversion focus. His operator-side work for BetMGM has him testing promo funnels and product UX, while his contributions to GiveMeSport and Fantasy Pros hone his predictive analytics for major U.S. leagues. At Webopedia he distills that dual perspective into plain-English reviews and comparisons, so readers can trust that what he says is coming from a position of authority, trust and experience.
