Tom Whitaker
Has been using Bitcoin since 2017 and measures casino payouts the only way that cannot be argued with: by block timestamp. Covers USDT, BTC, LTC and ETH banking, network fees and the difference between 'instant' in a FAQ and instant on-chain.
Tom got into cryptocurrency the way many Brisbane twenty-somethings did in 2017, with a small mining rig in a spare room and a lot of optimism. The rig is gone; the habit of checking everything on a block explorer stayed. When he tests a casino, he records the time the withdrawal was requested, the time it was approved and the timestamp of the block that carried the transaction, and reports all three.
He writes the crypto-casino reviews and the deposit guides for USDT, Bitcoin, Litecoin and Ethereum. He is particular about networks — TRC-20 versus ERC-20, which chains a cashier actually supports, and what the casino silently deducts in fees — and about the difference between a casino that pays crypto in fifteen minutes and one that says it does.
Tom has no problem with playing anonymously — depositing without handing over documents is a legitimate choice, and for many crypto players it is the point. What he cares about is whether the casino pays when asked: which ones request documents, at what stage, and how long the money takes to arrive, so that nobody is surprised at withdrawal time.
