Jim Donaghue

Jim Donaghue has been in the online gambling scene since 1996, practically from when it all began. Starting with British fruit machines, he's witnessed the entire evolution of online gaming firsthand as both a player and observer. He plays slots, poker, and blackjack at low stakes and enjoys betting on sports with friends. Jim got into crypto investing in 2017, bringing his Forex trading background to understand digital asset markets. This combination of nearly three decades in gaming plus early crypto adoption gives him a unique perspective on how blockchain technology is reshaping the gambling industry he's known for so long. His writing focuses on the practical side of crypto gaming adoption, drawing from real experience as someone who was there when online casinos first launched and who understands both traditional gaming mechanics and crypto market dynamics. Jim writes about what actually works, what doesn't, and where the industry is heading based on patterns he's seen repeat over decades. Alongside BanklessTimes, Jim also writes for Pokerfuse, Irishcasinosites, Casinosetc, Blockchainland, Demoslot and more.
