Write for us

We welcome pitches that make casino games or gambling culture easier to understand without repeating familiar hype. A strong proposal has a specific question, a clear reader in mind, and an angle distinct from subjects already covered.

What we welcome

Ideas may explain a game format, clarify a piece of table language, examine a casino image in fiction or film, or trace a cultural history. We value careful explanations that distinguish rules, interpretation, and storytelling, and that do not encourage readers to gamble.

A useful pitch

Send a working title, a short description of the central idea, why it matters to a curious general reader, and a brief note on how you would handle sources or examples. Tell us if the proposal has appeared elsewhere or is being considered elsewhere.

How to send it

Send proposals through the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. Please do not submit a complete article unless we have asked for one; a focused pitch is the best place to begin.
