Our Team

The editors on gamblegorilla.bet have each spent more than five years covering online gambling for Australian and British outlets. We hold between us accreditation from the Responsible Gambling Council (Canada), the UK's PA Consulting gambling-market programme and ongoing membership of the Alliance of Independent Press Councils in Europe. Reviews are checked against operator terms and licence filings before publication.

Every review carries the byline of the editor who wrote it, their role, how many years they have been covering the market and when the review was last re-tested. If a page carries no byline, treat the content as a work in progress and email editorial@gamblegorilla.bet if the facts matter to you. We update bylines when editors change role or leave the team.

Each operator is reviewed on a fresh account funded by the editor from personal funds, not from a comp. We test deposit and withdrawal with at least two methods, place at least ten real wagers across pokies and live tables, and open a support ticket to measure response time. The review is written, fact-checked by a second editor and published; the account is kept open for ninety days so we can test a second withdrawal before the first update.

Every number on a review page can be traced to a source: operator terms and conditions (dated screenshot in our archive), licence filings from the Curacao Gaming Control Board, provider press releases for new games, and our own test logs for payout times. If a reader queries a fact, the second editor pulls the source and we either keep the number, correct it or add a note explaining the discrepancy.

Gamblegorilla is covered by two editors with complementary beats. The lead editor manages pokies, live-casino and bonus coverage. The deputy editor covers payments, support and licensing. A freelance proofreader checks copy before publication. Advertising decisions are handled by the publisher, who has no byline and no editorial say. The structure is deliberately small so every review has clear ownership.

We hire casino reviewers twice a year, usually in February and August. Candidates send a cover note, two published review samples and a short pitch for the first operator they would cover for us. We pay standard freelance rates in AUD and provide the test bankroll separately so you are not out of pocket. Applications go to careers@gamblegorilla.bet; expect a reply within four weeks.
