Our editorial team
Nine reviewers across seven markets, plus the EIC and our Head of Compliance. Every page on this site is bylined and fact-checked by named people — no anonymous content, no rotating contractor pool.
James spent more than a decade writing about the online-gambling industry as a freelance analyst and trade-press contributor before joining offshoreonlinecasinos.com as founding editor. He's covered five regulatory shifts, two market consolidations, and far too many product launches.
Helena trained in behavioral economics, with academic work focused on disordered gambling and choice architecture. Before joining offshoreonlinecasinos.com she spent three years in the responsible-gambling research sector.
Antonio has covered the Italian iGaming market since 2014, first as a trade-press contributor and then as an independent consultant. He's tracked the AAMS-to-ADM transition, the Decreto Dignità fallout, and the slow rise of Curaçao-licensed operators serving Italian players.
Camille came up through Paris business journalism before specialising in gambling-industry analysis. She covers the ANJ regime closely — including the casino-game prohibition that defines French market structure — and tracks the hors-ARJEL operator landscape that French sports bettors actually use.
Emil started in Danish financial markets coverage, then moved into fintech reporting before joining offshoreonlinecasinos.com. He covers the Spillemyndigheden regulatory landscape and tests Nordic Pay-N-Play and ROFUS-escape patterns regularly.
Marcus covered the Las Vegas gambling beat for seven years before moving full-time into offshore-market analysis. He's tested signup, deposit, and withdrawal flows on more US-facing operators than he can count, and keeps a dated log of every test in case anyone wants to see the receipts.
Niklas trained in regulatory law and spent three years inside German federal regulatory work before moving into private consulting. He's been iGaming-focused since 2022 and reads the GlüStV in the original German, which sounds like a flex but is genuinely how the work has to be done.
Pieter started in Dutch financial journalism before pivoting into the iGaming vertical in 2018 — just in time for the KOA Act overhaul. He tracks KSA enforcement actions weekly and has documented every major regulated-market brand withdrawal from the Dutch landscape.
Sophie started on a UK regional newsdesk and then spent three years in the gambling trade press before going freelance. She's been covering UK non-Gamstop, fast-withdrawal, and crypto-casino corners of the British market since 2020.
How the team is structured
James Wenton is editor-in-chief and signs off on every page before publication. Helena Marchetti fact-checks every commercial page against responsible-gambling and regulatory accuracy standards — her name appears on every byline alongside the regional lead. The seven market leads — Marcus Reed (US), Antonio Conti (IT), Pieter van der Berg (NL), Niklas Brunner (DE), Sophie Hartley (UK), Camille Vasseur (FR) and Emil Sørensen (DK) — write the editorial content for their home market and test the operators they cover with real money, on dated timelines you can see in the per-page test logs.
We don't run anonymous reviews and we don't accept guest content from operators or agencies. Methodology is documented at How We Rate; the brand and our editorial independence policy live at About.
