Garry Brauer is an experienced editor specializing in iGaming content, with a focus on online casinos and sports betting platforms. At BestOnlineCasinoEurope.com he leads editorial review, sets the testing standards the team follows, and signs off on the casino rankings published across the site.
Areas of Expertise
Garry’s editorial work concentrates on the parts of an online casino that actually decide a player’s experience, rather than marketing headlines.
- Casino licensing and how to verify a regulator such as the MGA, UKGC, Anjouan or Curacao.
- Bonus terms that determine real value: wagering requirements, maximum bet rules, cashout caps and validity windows.
- Payments and payout speed across e-wallets, cards and crypto for European players.
- Fairness and safety: RTP, RNG certification, KYC and AML procedures, and data protection under GDPR.
- Responsible gambling tools, including deposit limits and national self-exclusion schemes.
How Garry and the Team Review Casinos
Every casino covered on this site passes through a structured, three-stage process before it earns a place in a ranking. Garry oversees each stage and reviews the final scoring.
- Verification and licensing. A casino must show a verifiable license, a publicly available license number and issuing authority, and clear responsible-gambling tools. Operators that hide or fake license data are removed.
- Real-money testing. The team deposits real funds, claims bonuses, plays popular titles, completes KYC and requests withdrawals, recording deposit speed, bonus activation and payout time.
- User experience and transparency. Mobile usability, provider diversity, clarity of bonus terms and live-chat responsiveness are assessed, alongside real user feedback from public communities.
The result is a score on a 100-point scale that combines payout reliability, bonus quality and user experience. Facts that change over time, such as bonus figures and payout speeds, are dated and revised rather than left to age.
Editorial Standards
Reviews are independent and based on real testing, not affiliate blurbs or press releases. Where a casino carries a limitation, such as slow verification or a strict bonus term, it is stated plainly next to the positives. The goal is a review a reader can act on, with the licensing and payout reality made clear before any deposit.
