Weston Calder covers gambling in Texas the way he wishes someone had explained it to him: from the law outward. He grew up east of Austin and has spent his career reading what Chapter 47 of the Penal Code actually says, following what happens in the Capitol each odd-year session, and testing the offshore and sweepstakes sites that Texans really use.
What Weston covers
- Texas gambling law and the Penal Code, in plain English.
- The legalization debate, session by session, at the Legislature.
- Offshore real-money casinos: payout testing, licensing and trust.
- Sweepstakes and social casinos as the legal alternative for Texans.
Approach
Weston tests withdrawals himself and reports the numbers rather than the marketing. He will not call an unregulated offshore site "safe," and he will not promise anybody a sure thing. The job, as he sees it, is to give a grown adult the actual rules and the actual odds. Reach him through our contact page, and see how his ratings are built on the how we rate page.
