Our Editorial Team: The Experts Behind Every Casino Review
Every ranking on Casino Report USA is written and fact-checked by named people with real experience in gambling, payments and compliance. Here's who they are and what they cover.
Daniel Cortés
Senior Casino Analyst · 11 years in iGaming
Daniel leads our casino testing. Over 11 years he has reviewed hundreds of real-money gambling sites, specializing in payout verification and bonus-term analysis — the fine print most players never read. He deposits, plays and withdraws at every site he covers, and has documented dozens of cases where advertised payout times didn't match reality. He writes our flagship Best Online Casinos rankings.
Expertise: payout testing · bonus terms & wagering · slot & live-dealer libraries · offshore vs regulated markets.
Rebecca Nolan
Payments & Banking Editor · 8 years in fintech & crypto
Rebecca covers how money moves in and out of online casinos. With a background in fintech and cryptocurrency, she tests deposit and withdrawal rails — cards, wires, and coins from Bitcoin to USDT — and explains the KYC process so readers aren't surprised at their first cash-out. Her timed withdrawal tests underpin our payout-speed scores.
Expertise: cryptocurrency payments · card & wire processing · KYC/AML · withdrawal-speed benchmarking.
