Callum Hayes

Eight years of Callum's working life were spent on the far side of the felt, dealing blackjack and roulette on live streams for two of the studios that turn up in these rankings. Thousands of hands gave him an eye for the places where players hand over money without noticing: a natural paid at 6:5 instead of 3:2, a dealer who stands on soft 17, a side bet nobody has bothered to price. Writing about those is what he does now. Each casino he covers gets his own deposit and his own cash-out, and he keeps every receipt.

Here he produces the rankings, the game guides and the casino reviews, keeps the basic strategy chart and the live table comparisons up to date, and answers corrections from readers through the contact page. The seven criteria he scores against are published on the how we review page.

  • Table experience as a croupier
  • Live dealer studios and formats
  • Blackjack rules and basic strategy
  • Side bets and game variants
  • Auditing bonus wagering terms
  • AUD banking and cash-out routes
