Chris Gerlacher
Christopher got his B.S. in Business Administration from the University of Colorado at Boulder and turned his love for writing into a career. He’s carefully reviewed state regulations and has covered trends in the online sports betting industry and US politics.
For PlayUSA, he focuses on new ideas gaining traction within the gambling industry, whether from startups or innovative state regulators. He has also reported on political prediction markets to gauge which issues affect voters’ perceptions of likely midterm and presidential winners.
Christopher has also been published in The Daily Camera and Free Inquiry. His first op-ed in the Daily Camera criticized CU Boulder for the high rates of sexual violence on campus reported in its 2015 sexual misconduct survey. Shortly before graduation, he wrote a follow-up op-ed criticizing the lack of action on the survey’s findings. His work in Free Inquiry focuses on criticism of religious dogma.
Despite growing up in Dallas, his favorite teams are the Broncos and the Rockies. Although most of his adopted teams have struggled, the Avs have been a bright spot in Colorado’s sports scene.
