Anna – Player Behaviour Specialist & Responsible Gambling Advocate
When it comes to understanding how players interact with online casinos, Anna brings a perspective few others can match. With a background in behavioural science and years of experience working with digital gambling platforms, she’s behind many of this site’s most user-focused, responsible, and insightful content pieces.
Anna’s work goes beyond reviewing features — she breaks down how casino design influences player decisions, what red flags to watch for, and how to gamble in a way that’s safe, informed, and genuinely enjoyable.

Why Anna’s Casino Content Stands Out
- Behavioural science background + industry UX experience
- Focus on empowering players through education
- Clear, jargon-free writing tailored to real users
- Deep knowledge of live casino risk factors
- Advocates for transparency, safety, and mental wellbeing
If you’ve ever read a guide that made you rethink how you gamble — how you choose bonuses, games, or even when to walk away — chances are, Anna wrote it.
From UX Design to Player Protection
Anna’s journey started in digital product design, where she researched how players navigate sportsbook and casino platforms. This work led her to uncover how certain site features can push players toward riskier behaviour.
Motivated to help fix the problem from the inside out, Anna shifted toward content creation with a responsible gambling lens. Today, she’s one of the few casino content creators with firsthand experience both behind the scenes and at the player level.
What Anna Brings to the Table
Anna doesn’t just describe features — she explains how they impact players in real time. Her core specialisations include:
Identifying manipulative UX patterns in bonus offers
Creating step-by-step safer gambling guides
Explaining live casino volatility and emotional influence
Reviewing platform self-exclusion and budget tools
Translating casino T&Cs into plain English
Her work is especially focused on live games, which she views as high-risk due to their immersive, high-stakes nature.
“The goal isn’t to stop people from playing — it’s to give them tools to play on their terms. Gambling should be fun, not stressful.” – Anna
Why You Can Trust Anna
Anna’s content is grounded in research and shaped by empathy. Every guide, review, or explainer is:
✔️ Player-first, not profit-first
✔️ Informed by UX data and gambling harm research
✔️ Focused on emotional awareness and informed choice
✔️ Compliant with best practices in responsible gambling
She never recommends casinos that lack basic safeguards — and always flags sites that bury harmful terms or promote misleading features.
