As a Crypto Journalist, I'm your go-to whenever you're looking for objective information that gives you the full picture. No ambiguous language, no overly-technical jargon, just the transparent, full deal. In my other life you'll find me spending all my money dancing to gigs around Europe. Or, when I'm too broke, sipping a glass of wine while people-watching for ideas on my next novel.

What do you consider a trustworthy crypto casino?
A trustworthy site is above all transparent with its terms and conditions. It’s fine for a crypto casino to have things like high wagering requirements, or a transaction fee for crypto withdrawals, as long as these are clearly indicated. It’s up to the player then to decide whether these are acceptable or not, and act accordingly. T&Cs should be easy to find, and unambiguous. If a site is trying to hide how long it takes to deliver cashouts, that’s a red flag for me.
What’s the most important thing to you when reviewing casinos?
As someone who is easily bored, a very strong games lobby is essential. By this, I mean that the selection of games should be in the thousands, not hundreds. And I need at least 20 software providers to keep things fresh! Apart from that, security and trustworthiness are the other two big priorities.
According to you, what does a good website need in terms of responsible gambling practices?
For starters, there should be a wide range of responsible gambling tools to make it as easy as possible for players to implement any level of limitations that suits them. For example, it shouldn’t just be deposit limits, or self-exclusion only - there should be other options like betting limits, time limits, loss limits, and time outs. And these should be easily accessible with a prominent menu link.
