Founder & Lead Analyst at CasinoRankr
@hkgambler12+ years in online gambling. $200M+ wagered across 150+ platforms. I created CasinoRankr because I was tired of review sites that ranked casinos based on who paid the most.
Unlike most review sites, I can prove I actually play. Below are real account statistics from platforms that expose lifetime data. These screenshots are unedited and publicly verifiable.
I've also wagered extensively on sweepstakes platforms like Chumba Casino, LuckyLand Slots, and Global Poker that don't expose lifetime statistics.
I started gambling online in 2013, back when the crypto casino scene was just getting started. Over the years, I've wagered over $200 million across 150+ platforms, including sweepstakes casinos, crypto casinos, sportsbooks, you name it. I've experienced the highs (five-figure withdrawals) and the lows (learning expensive lessons about bankroll management).
That experience taught me something important: most casino review sites are worthless. They rank casinos based on affiliate commissions, not actual player experience. A casino with terrible withdrawal times and predatory bonus terms can sit at #1 simply because they pay reviewers the most.
I built CasinoRankr to fix that. Our rankings are determined entirely by community votes. Real players sharing their real experiences. No casino can pay for a higher position. The rankings you see reflect what players actually think.
That community-first approach is at the heart of everything we do here.
Before CasinoRankr, I was active on Reddit's gambling communities under the username GolfAndGamble. I spent years sharing honest reviews, warning people about shady casinos, and helping players navigate the complex world of sweepstakes and crypto gambling.
Unfortunately, my honest approach made me some powerful enemies. A competitor orchestrated a mass-reporting campaign that resulted in my Reddit account being suspended. When you call out casinos for predatory practices, they don't always take it well.
That experience reinforced why I needed to build something I fully controlled. CasinoRankr is my answer: a platform where honest reviews can't be silenced by competitors with deep pockets. The rankings belong to the community, not to whoever pays the most or has the biggest legal team.
If you knew me as GolfAndGamble, I'm still the same person with the same mission: helping players find casinos that actually treat them fairly.
