What makes Ziv Chen an expert?

Ziv’s passion for writing and desire to become a sports journalist led him to study at the University of Maryland and the University of Pittsburgh in the US, where he earned his undergraduate and master’s degrees. A devoted supporter of Pitt football and basketball teams (the NFL’s Pittsburgh Steelers and the MLB’s Pirates), Ziv’s love for sports runs in his veins.

Beyond sports, Ziv’s other great passion lies in online gambling, where he has built a successful career that seamlessly blends both interests. For over 20 years, he served in senior marketing and management roles in the gambling industry for prominent companies like Playtech, Microgaming (now Games Global), and more.

Ziv’s love for storytelling stayed with him throughout his professional career. He spent years writing about North American sports news and the gambling industry in general in numerous blogs and news publications. Eventually, he made the leap to full-time journalism and founded Major League Content.

Since then, Ziv has written tens of thousands of brand reviews, casino game guides, gambling legislation pages, and news articles. Today, he specializes in crafting premium and original content for the sports, sports wagering, and iGaming industries.
