Live Casino Reports Editorial Team
The Live Casino Reports Editorial Team researches and edits the site's US casino reviews, bonus pages, game hubs and trust pages against regulator, operator and studio sources, with a named second reviewer on money pages.
The Live Casino Reports Editorial Team is the byline for pages the site's staff research and edit together. Most of the October 2026 rewrites carry it: the homepage, the US casino reviews, the bonus pages and the trust pages.
Earlier, between March and April 2023, a batch of provider and single-table reviews was published under the name "LCR Team". Those pages are now being refreshed, folded into the provider and game hubs, or retired, and refreshed versions appear under the Editorial Team byline with a named reviewer.
Pages by the Editorial Team
- US casino reviews: Bovada, Ignition, MyBookie and BetOnline, each with the licence the operator cites, restricted states and regulatory actions.
- Bonuses: the live casino bonus hub, including how live dealer bets count towards rollover.
- Game hubs and studios: live casino games, live poker and Evolution.
- Trust pages: About Us, How We Rate and Responsible Gambling.
How the team works
Pages are written against primary sources: state regulators and statutes for legal status, operator terms and cashier pages for bonuses and banking, and studio pages for game rules and return to player. Offshore operators are always described as offshore, with no US state licence. A second person, named on the page, reviews money and legal pages before publication; in 2026 that reviewer is Tuah bin Razak.
The team does not invent test deposits or playing sessions, and it does not publish credentials it cannot show. Commercial relationships with operators fund the site, as explained in the affiliate disclosure on About Us, but they do not change the facts printed.
