About Andrew Belford
The editor-in-chief has spent more than a decade in iGaming publishing, leading review teams across several English-language markets. The role covers every stage of production, from assigning casinos for testing to signing off the final page. Accuracy and a neutral tone are the two non-negotiables.
The editor-in-chief set up the review framework the team uses: a fixed checklist covering licensing, bonuses, payments, support and safer gambling, applied the same way to every brand. Promotional language is cut at the editing stage. If a claim cannot be traced back to a verified source, it does not run.
What Andrew checks before publication
Before publication, the editor-in-chief re-checks every figure against the source data: licence numbers, bonus amounts, wagering multipliers, timeframes and ratings must match exactly. Quotes from players are reproduced word for word. The tone is read for anything promotional or unverified, and weaknesses must be stated as plainly as strengths. Responsible gambling information and helpline details are confirmed on every page. Nothing goes live until this pass is complete.
