Roy Brindley: The Online Poker Nerd
The online poker landscape has changed beyond recognition since the first hands were played on the internet over 25 years ago. The early 2000s are commonly described as online poker’s boom years. However, the ‘Covid years’ produced a second boom, and with it came more options for online poker players.
Choice is good for customers in all walks of commerce, but, as the saying goes, beware of cheap imitations and always read the small print. Onlinepokernerd’s diligent and expert team has tried and tested all aspects of countless online poker sites to ensure those with dubious credentials do not make the cut.
Former professional player Roy Brindley heads our team. With notable results going back to a time before Chris Moneymaker won the World Series of Poker as an online satellite qualifier, the veteran has abundant experience in all aspects of poker online and in land-based card rooms.
In the early 2000s, success in two tournaments broadcast on terrestrial television – and a runner-up spot in a third, the World Heads-Up Championship – led Roy ‘The Boy’ Brindley to become the brand ambassador of Europe’s biggest online poker room.
Onlinepokernerd.com’s editor-in-chief additionally worked as Sky TV’s poker commentator and regularly contributed to the numerous poker magazines in circulation during the noughties. With additional interests in casinos and a card room, this poker nerd brings a wealth of experience and expertise to our site.
