Jamie discovered the game of poker at fifteen years old and played home games with friends during his teenage years.
After grinding both live and online poker regularly, he dropped out of university in hope of finding untold riches playing the game he loved. However, things did not go as planned on the felt.
Since then, Jamie has focused on the business-side of the game, founding PokerVIP Ltd in 2008 and transforming it from a one-man operation via Skype and MSN to a fully-fledged business today.
The company is engrossed in the poker industry across a multitude of projects—all aimed at enhancing the online experience—and is responsible for a number of poker websites such as PokerTube, PokerSolutions and, of course, PokerUpdate.
