About John

After 7 years working inside the affiliate industry, I saw too many “reviews” that were just rewritten press releases. I left to build something different.

My testing methodology is simple: I deposit real money, play real games, and time exactly how long it takes to get my winnings back. No shortcuts, no demo accounts.

What I Look For

Every casino I review gets the same treatment:

  1. Real Deposit Test - Minimum €500 using multiple payment methods
  2. Bonus Claim & Playthrough - I actually complete wagering requirements
  3. Withdrawal Timing - Timestamped from request to bank account
  4. Support Quality - Real questions, measured response times

My Background

  • 2014-2018: Affiliate Manager at major European casino network
  • 2018-2021: Independent consultant for casino operators
  • 2021-Present: Lead Reviewer at RoyalCasinoList

I’ve seen how the sausage gets made from both sides. That perspective helps me spot the casinos that actually care about players versus those just chasing deposits.
