The people behind the pages

Our authors, on the record

Every SpyRoller page has a named writer and a second person who checks it before it goes live. Here is who they are, what they cover and how they work.

Writers and checkers

Who writes SpyRoller

Two writers, each checking the other’s work. Country guides, licences and safer gambling sit with Laura; reviews, bonuses, payments and betting with Martin.

How we work

Two names on every page

  • One writes, the other checks. Every review, guide and country page names its writer and the person who checked it, and both are linked at the top and the bottom of the page.
  • Primary sources, dated. Facts come from the casino’s own terms, the regulator’s register and the law itself, each with the date we read it.
  • Checked from the country in question. Country guides record what each casino showed a logged-out visitor from that country, and say how we connected.
  • No sign-up links where a casino isn’t licensed for you. Country guides report what we found; they don’t recruit.
  • Corrections are welcome. If something on a page is wrong or out of date, write to info@spyroller.com and the author will look at it.
