Why is Ramona Your Go-To Casino Expert?

Ramona adds a journalistic approach to her extensive expertise and knowledge of the industry. She’s been active in the online gambling sector since it started seeing its beginning in the early noughties, witnessing the shift from the early stages to a more regulated, player-centric market that includes the proliferation of crypto casinos.

However, experienced players will also benefit, as Ramona digs deep in each topic to share advanced tips and advice for those who want to take their gaming to the next level.

“In the past decades I’ve seen player trends evolve drastically. Most players nowadays are extremely discerning, and they want to know all the ins-and-outs of an online casino’s workings. And this is exactly what I give them – 100% transparent reviews that build a clear picture of all the good, the bad and the ugly. A large bonus is no longer the most important thing for an online casino. Players want to know whether the wagering requirements are reasonable, if they have enough time to meet them, whether they will have any issues cashing out…”

How Ramona Stays Ahead of the Game

Ramona is a vocal participant in the international gambling industry. You will find her name on many a leading gambling portal and magazine, interviewing the movers and shakers of the industry, and is usually privy to information before it hits the public. 

As the former head of media at one of the largest gambling conference organisers, she has one foot firmly planted in industry events like SiGMA, ICE and CasinoBeats, often gaining a behind-the-scenes perspective that is not available to many. All these insights are then put to good use in Ramona’s reviews and updates. 

Ramona’s Hobbies

Ramona’s life is all about good books and wine, conversations and music. She is part of the indie music scene in Malta, where she is based – incidentally, one the world’s main online gambling hubs – and on weekends you’re likely to find her moving to some darkwave or synthpop. When it’s time to wind down it’s likely to be with a good murder mystery, or enjoying some trekking around the island.
