About Gambling101
Gambling101 is an education-first project that teaches odds, house edge, bankroll management and game strategy with no casino offers. The aim is to help recreational gamblers make calmer, better-informed decisions.
Our Mission
Gambling101 explains how gambling actually works: odds, house edge, expected value, variance and bankroll management. We treat gambling as paid entertainment, not a way to make money, and we want readers to leave knowing what a bet really costs.
- Explain odds, house edge and variance in plain English.
- Show simple ways to protect a bankroll and set limits.
- Point out which games and bets cost the least over time, and which cost the most.
- Put responsible play and warning signs front and centre.
Who Is Behind Gambling101?
Gambling101 is owned and edited by Greg Parsons. Greg decides what the site covers, edits every guide and calculator, and handles corrections. He started it because most gambling sites lead with offers; he wanted one that leads with the math.
We are not a casino or sportsbook. We don’t take deposits, handle payments, sell picks or run betting systems.

No Operator Influence
Gambling101 has no affiliate links and takes no money from casinos or sportsbooks. No operator pays for placement, reviews a page before it goes live, or has any say in what we write. If that ever changes, we will say so on the page concerned and on our disclosure page before any paid link appears.
Editorial Policy
- Math first: house edge, RTP and probability figures come from game rules, published paytables or the sources listed on each page.
- Sources on the page: articles list the sources they rely on, so you can check them yourself.
- Plain language: we explain jargon and avoid promises of wins or “systems”.
- Honest limits: when something depends on your location or the rules at your table, we say so. Laws differ by country and region, so check what applies where you live.
- Honest dates: each article shows when it was last updated. The date changes only when the content does.
Corrections
If you find an error, email contact@gambling101.com with the page URL and what looks wrong. Greg reads every report. When a fix changes a figure or a recommendation, we correct the page and update its “last updated” date. Small fixes like typos and broken links are made without a note.
Advertising & Affiliate Links
There are currently no affiliate or sponsored links on Gambling101. See the disclosure page for details.
