Welcome to the Digital Preservation Summit

las-vegas-2Welcome to my website! In this first introductory post, I would like to talk a bit about who I am and why I decided to create this blog. My name is Ryan Mason, and I have been an online gambler ever since my twenties. My biggest passion was, and I guess always will be, online casinos. I was there for their conception, and I can safely say that I was one of the first players to completely devote myself to playing online, in contrast to other people who continued visiting land-based operators for some time. I guess I was one of the few people who realised the many advantages online operators have over traditional brick-and-mortar casinos.

I have seen the concept of online casino gaming develop over the past decades, and I continue to be interested in what the future holds for the industry. Hence the name of my website – Digital Preservation of Online Casinos. Online casinos established themselves as the preferable method of gambling for players worldwide, and they continue to amaze with innovations and contemporary developments. I am excited to be a part of all this, and I am making an attempt to be somewhat of a scholar on the subject.

This website will focus on the history of the online casinos – from the humble beginnings in 1994, through the unveiling of the first live dealer games, to the first mobile casino apps and beyond. My articles will focus not only on the historical side of it all, but on a variety of topics. Being an eye witness to it all, I believe I know how things really happened – and I am very excited to share it all with you.

I will try my best to post regularly, and keep my articles both informative and entertaining. If you would like me to cover a specific subject, you can get in touch with me via the provided contact form. I hope you find the information in my website useful. Enjoy!
