Professional Writer and Gambling Expert with an Accomplished Background.
Early Career
Andy Gartland’s career journey began with a successful stint as a plumber, which led him to start his own plumbing business. Despite achieving success in this field, Andy felt a strong inclination towards a more meaningful career.
He decided to pursue his passion for serving others by becoming a full-time firefighter. He studied hard and eventually rose to the rank of divisional officer in charge of fire operations.
Career in Gambling
Andy’s frequent visits to walk-in casinos introduced him to a variety of casino games, including slots, video poker, and roulette. Over time, he gained valuable knowledge and experience in the gambling world where he also built relationships with many casino staff.
In the late 1990’s he found an interest in the online casino industry. There was only a handful of gaming software developers that were around at the time. “This is going to be huge, the slots and their bonus games are really exciting and a lot of fun”, Andy recalls saying at the time.
Unfortunately, he had an unpleasant experience while playing at a particular online casino 23 years ago. A rogue operator refused to pay him a large win of over $20,000.00 leaving him with no recourse or protection.
As a result, Andy started on a new venture learning about website development and SEO. This lead to a host of websites offering free information about online casinos where players felt they were spending real money in a safe, fair and honest environment.
Also, it took many years before many governments around the world would show an interest in establishing a regulated and controlled gambling authority.
Importantly, today players including online casinos are protected by well established authorities like, the UK Gambling Commission, Malta Gaming Authority and the Curaçao Gaming Control Board.
Creation of Gambling Information Websites
This experience prompted Andy to start his own information websites that provide reliable information about trusted online casinos that he vets himself.
To achieve this goal, he started writing his own reviews of online casinos and the games they offer, including information on welcome bonuses and blacklisted or suspicious casinos.
Importantly, he also developed an online casino checklist of entry-level requirements that online casinos must pass before he even begins reviewing their online casino.
Experience and Reputation
With over 23 years of experience and knowledge in both land-based and online casinos, Andy has established a solid and trusted reputation with both online operators and walk-in casinos.
He has written thousands of professional articles and reviews for his websites and for well-known online casino brands. As a result, he has become a respected figure in the gambling industry.
Continued Growth and Improvement
Andy is aware that there is always room for improvement, and he is constantly exploring better ways to present his reviewed information, making it more accessible, faster, and informative for his readers.
Despite the challenges posed by the constantly evolving gambling industry, he remains passionate about providing accurate and trustworthy information to help people make informed decisions about their
gambling choices and importantly, the best online casinos to suite the player’s needs.
Passionate about Honest Information
Andy also firmly believes that good, honest information is the key to safeguarding gamblers against scams and rigged games, which are prevalent in the industry.
He is committed to ensuring that this information is readily available for free on his websites. His information is factual, professional, and independently reviewed by himself or his review teams.
Therefore, he considers it a valuable resource for those looking to gamble online safely and responsibly.

Additionally, this new website also focuses on popular jackpot games, welcome bonuses and blacklisted online casinos.
