My name is Emily Thompson. I have been working in the iGaming industry for more than ten years as both an analyst and a writer. During that time, I have reviewed a wide range of online casino platforms, followed regulatory developments across different markets, and researched how the industry continues to evolve.

I hold a degree in Journalism, which shapes the way I approach my work. I believe analysis should be structured, well-researched, and clearly explained. I spend a lot of time gathering information, comparing sources, and studying how platforms operate - and then turning that research into writing that is straightforward and balanced.

My goal is to provide clarity and context, not hype. I focus on helping readers understand how systems work and what that means in practice.

Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, jogging, and staying active outdoors.

Career Path

Work Experience

1

Education - University of Sydney

I hold a degree in Journalism from the University of Sydney, where I built a strong foundation in research, investigative writing, and editorial standards. During my studies, I was particularly drawn to analytical reporting - understanding how systems function and explaining them clearly and responsibly.

2

Early Career - Digital Media

After graduating, I joined a digital media company, working as part of an editorial team producing structured online content. My early responsibilities included research, long-form writing, and supporting editorial projects across different verticals. It was during this period that I first worked on projects related to online gaming and digital platforms, which introduced me to the iGaming sector.

3

Freelance and Industry Focus

After gaining in-house experience, I transitioned into freelance work. This allowed me to collaborate with multiple digital publishers and industry-related platforms, taking on greater responsibility for research-driven content. Over time, my focus shifted increasingly toward iGaming, where I began producing detailed platform reviews and comparative pieces.

Freelancing strengthened my ability to work independently, verify information carefully, and approach each project with a structured analytical mindset.

Analytical Development & Platform Reviews

As my experience deepened, analysis became central to my work. Rather than writing general content, I began conducting structured evaluations of online casino operators - examining how platforms are built, how they position themselves, and how regulatory frameworks influence their operations.

Over the past decade, I have reviewed hundreds of casino platforms and followed regulatory developments across multiple markets. My focus has consistently been on clarity, transparency, and evidence-based evaluation.

Current Role - CasinoRank

Today, I work with CasinoRank as a writer and industry analyst. In this role, I conduct platform reviews, produce comparative research, and contribute to in-depth industry analysis. I combine structured research with clear writing to ensure that my work remains balanced, well-supported, and accessible to readers.
