Cole Rush, Writer and Contributor at Gaming Today

Cole Rush is a writer and contributor at Gaming Today. He covers the sports betting industry and legislative news for the brand, plus Bonus.com, iGaming Business, ICE 365, and more.

Rush also covers pop culture and books for Reactor Mag (formerly Tor.com) and TheQuillToLive.com, a sci-fi and fantasy book review site. He has more than eight years of experience writing about gambling and entertainment. Before becoming a freelance journalist and writer, Rush managed corporate communications and marketing for a significant digital gaming supplier.

As a Chicago native, Cole’s favorite teams are, predictably, da Bears and da Bulls, and he wallows in the sadness that inevitably ensues. He also enjoys a Chicago-style hot dog whenever he can get one. A true Midwesterner, Cole studied creative writing at The University of Iowa. However, he stopped wearing the school’s gear publicly for fear of strangers asking him about the football team, which he does not follow.

Cole loves to cover wacky and niche sports at Gaming Today. Tractor pulling, jai alai, cornhole … anything that your friends at the bar don’t watch constantly. He’s also grown an appreciation for covering responsible gambling. You can find most of Cole’s work in one place: ColeRush.com.
