Editorial Team

Two people work on every review you read here. Jake Mitchell does the testing and writes the content. Jacques Delmont reads everything before it goes live and verifies that the numbers match the source data. No outside contributors, no rotating freelancers — same two names on every page.

Both are based in Melbourne. Neither has editorial influence from any casino we cover. The commission structure is documented in our editorial policy.

How Our Two-Person Workflow Works

  1. Jake registers at a candidate casino with real personal details. ID verification, deposit through two different payment methods, minimum one week of play.
  2. Jake withdraws. Every casino gets a withdrawal request within the first week. Timed with a stopwatch from cashout-click to funds-cleared.
  3. Jake writes the review with the raw test data, screenshots, and pros/cons.
  4. Jacques fact-checks. Licence numbers cross-referenced with the regulator's register. Bonus T&Cs verified against the live cashier page. RTP figures matched to provider data sheets. Support response time reproduced on a separate day.
  5. Corrections, if any, go back to Jake. Roughly 5% of drafts come back with revisions. Once cleared, the review publishes with the “Fact-checked by Jacques Delmont” badge and the date.
  6. Quarterly re-tests. Every casino in our top 10 gets re-tested every three months. If a site has quietly raised wagering or slowed withdrawals, we update the ranking and note the change in the changelog.
