Davey Hanson has been writing professionally for more than a decade and has written articles, reviews, previews and general content for many iGaming websites. Specialising in sports betting and online casinos, he has used skills gained from his degree in Mathematics and Economics (University of Leeds) to understand the statistical and probabilistic foundations of gambling.
Davey takes an evidence-based and analytical approach to gambling and this has led to regular profits from online sportsbooks over the years. With a thorough understanding of online casino games, the probabilities involved and the iGaming industry as a whole, Davey can shine a light on the best value bets, classiest casinos, and the games with the best return to player (RTP) ratios.

Great casino let down by the absence of a mobile app
I have often noticed when trying out UK casinos that the range of games is on the small-side. This was not the case at Hollywoodbets though which provides a surprisingly impressive amount of choice, especially for a company whose ...

With fewer than 350 games to choose from, Betfred is certainly among the smallest casinos I have tested in recent years. This is not overly unusual for a UK brand though as the focus in the market tends to be on quality over quant...
