Nick Garner has a wealth of experience, and can speak to many topics. He’s worked in search engine optimization (SEO), he’s founded a Bitcoin iGaming company, and continues to run an important company to the iGaming industry, RIZE Digital. As the first guest on Becky Liggero Fontana’s new interview segment, The Long Con, he’s perfectly suited to talk to a wide range of topics, and the moment our world now faces

In this new long form interview, Liggero Fontana and Garner discussed many things, but began with SEO, talking about if COVID-19 would change the game. “The bottom line is that Google is a massive infrastructure which has taken 20 years to build and it’s not going to change just because of this COVID incident,” Garner said. “So instead of asking the question how is Google changing, well it’s not, a better question is how is consumer behavior changing and what you can do about that if you’re in the right place at the right time.”

Garner also discussed if online gambling will keep its current volumes when some sense of normalcy returns. “I think we’re going to see basically as a 20 percent step change up in sustained activity in online gambling,” he said. “There is another side to that which is legislatures, and we all know that they’re getting more aggressive.”
