Background

About Simon

Simon has spent more than a decade covering the online gambling industry, from operator-side roles at major UK and Australian brands to senior editorial positions at independent comparison sites. He now leads the Betsquare UK editorial team and is the final sign-off on every casino review, payment method guide and ranking change.

His focus is on player protection: making sure every operator we recommend holds a valid UKGC licence, treats withdrawals fairly and offers meaningful safer-gambling tools. If a casino doesn't meet those bars, it doesn't make the list.

Simon also tracks UK Gambling Commission policy updates closely, from the affordability framework to the credit-card ban, and translates the regulatory detail into plain-English guidance for British players.
