Our experts
The two editors responsible for everything published on TheCasinoRank, what each of them owns, and why commercial relationships cannot move a ranking.
Two named editors are responsible for everything published on this site. Between them they cover the two things that decide whether a casino belongs here: whether the numbers in an offer add up, and whether the operator behind it is properly licensed.
Neither of them can move a ranking for commercial reasons. The order on this site comes from the published scoring method, and our editorial policy sets out what we will and will not publish.
James Anderson
Reviews and Ratings Editor
James Anderson has spent more than five years writing about online gaming, betting and the wider digital entertainment industry. He focuses on practical, plainly written content that helps readers understand betting markets, casino features and the basics of responsible play.
At TheCasinoRank he leads casino reviews and ratings. He is responsible for the scoring method behind every ranking on the site, and for the bonus analysis at the centre of each review — what a wagering requirement actually costs in pounds, what a maximum conversion cap means in practice, and which headline offers are worth less than they look.
Every casino James reviews is checked against the Gambling Commission’s public register before publication, and he re-checks the licence status of all ten operators on a regular cycle.

Stuart Stokes
Regulation and Safer Gambling Editor
Stuart Stokes has written for a UK audience on online casinos, player guides and the betting market for over five years. His approach is a straightforward one — explain odds, promotions, game mechanics and responsible gambling in terms a reader can actually use.
At TheCasinoRank he covers regulation and safer gambling. He maintains the licence data behind the site’s checker tool, follows Gambling Commission enforcement and rule changes, and writes the guides on self-exclusion, identity verification and affordability checks.
Stuart is responsible for the site’s position that it lists only operators licensed in Great Britain, and for the checks that keep that true.
