Marcus Thompson

Senior Casino Analyst & Lead Reviewer

Toronto, Canada — 10+ years in iGaming

Marcus is a veteran iGaming analyst who has spent over a decade reviewing and testing online casinos for North American players. With a background in statistics from the University of Toronto, he brings mathematical rigour to evaluating bonus structures, game RTP, and payout fairness.

He specializes in the North American offshore casino market, cryptocurrency gambling, and poker room analysis. His approach combines statistical methodology with practical player-focused testing — every review reflects dozens of hours of real gameplay, deposit testing across multiple methods, and timed withdrawal processing. Marcus is particularly skilled at dissecting bonus structures, calculating true expected values after wagering requirements, and identifying hidden terms that could affect player outcomes.

His work has been cited by GamingAmerica and Gambling Insider, and he has contributed expert commentary to several Canadian media outlets covering the evolving online gambling landscape. Marcus leads the development of our proprietary casino testing methodology and is responsible for training new analysts on our quality standards.

Sarah Chen

Legal & Compliance Writer

Vancouver, Canada — 8+ years in gambling regulation

Sarah is a legal and compliance writer specializing in gambling regulation across North America. She spent four years as a compliance analyst for an Ontario-licensed iGaming operator before transitioning to full-time editorial work, giving her a rare insider perspective on how casino licensing and regulatory oversight actually function in practice.

She covers provincial gambling laws, licensing frameworks, responsible gambling programs, and the evolving legal landscape for Canadians accessing offshore casino platforms.

She is a passionate advocate for responsible gambling and believes the industry has a fundamental obligation to protect vulnerable players.
