Imogen Haldane — Editor, Mobile & Apps. Eight years testing mobile casino clients and native apps on iOS and Android.

| Join us | We are a two-editor room and we are not actively recruiting a third seat in 2026. If that changes, the call will be posted on this page and announced in the next review's "about this update" box. We do not accept guest posts, link-insertion offers, "sponsored content" of any variety, or paid author bios. Writers who want to pitch an evergreen explainer on a payment method, a jurisdiction, or a provider studio can e-mail [email protected] with a 150-word pitch; replies take two weeks. |
| Roles | Reviews live with one named owner from the first draft to the quarterly re-check. Harriet Pemberton owns the main brand review, the bonuses hub, the bonus-type pages and the games listings. Imogen Haldane owns the mobile-app page, the registration walk-through, promo-codes, and the privacy / cookies / terms pages. The payments review and the deposit-withdrawal reference live under Harriet Pemberton's name because she holds the test wallets, with Imogen Haldane contributing timings from mobile cashier. |
| How we work | Each review starts with an open account funded from our own bankroll — no comp accounts, no promo credits from the operator. Deposits go through at least two different methods (we favour Interac e-Transfer and a credit card, with a crypto rail for sites where it is live), wagering is played to turnover on medium-volatility slots, withdrawals are requested through the same methods and timed. Support is contacted at least twice per review cycle (one weekday morning, one weekend evening) with a scripted question we have logged elsewhere, and the response text is pasted into the review file. Nothing in a review is sourced from the operator's own marketing copy. |
