Wes Hartman is our Lead Casino Analyst and the person behind our casino rankings. Over nine years reviewing online casinos he has funded accounts at hundreds of US-facing operators and timed more than 400 real-money withdrawals to the minute — which is why payout reliability, not bonus size, sits at the top of his scoring. A former payments analyst, he reads cashier terms and AML/KYC policies the way most people read a menu, and he is blunt about the trade-offs of the offshore model.
9+ years in the iGaming industry; former payments analyst at a US fintech. Has personally tested and timed 400+ real-money withdrawals across offshore casinos, and maintains a running log of operator complaint patterns that feeds directly into our ratings.
Wes scores every casino on a 100-point framework weighted toward payout reliability and bonus fairness, funding a real account and requesting a withdrawal before a site is ranked. Every review carries a byline, a "last updated" date and, where relevant, a second-checker. See our full review methodology.
