CryptoHorizon is built by people who actually use crypto casinos. We’ve spent years trying different platforms, testing how they handle payments, checking bonus rules, and paying close attention to what works — and what doesn’t.
This site grew out of that experience. We wanted a place where everything is clear: which casinos are safe, which ones pay out fast, and which are just hype. No jargon, no empty promises — just real research and honest opinions.
Each of us has a different background — journalism, compliance, game design, marketing — and we use that mix of skills to look at casinos from every angle.
Why We Started CryptoHorizon
We decided to venture into this field because we recognized the growing popularity and potential of crypto casinos. Traditional online casinos have their benefits, but crypto casinos offer a unique set of advantages, including faster transactions, enhanced security, and greater privacy.
We focus on real reviews, not hype. Our team carefully checks each casino’s games, safety, customer service, and how easy it is to deposit and withdraw crypto. We aim to be fair and transparent, so you always know what to expect before you play.
We also believe that gambling should stay fun. That’s why we share tips on how to play responsibly and avoid common risks.
Who’s Behind CryptoHorizon
The project is run by people who’ve been in this space for years — not just as writers, but as players, analysts, and insiders. We’re not an outsourced content mill or a faceless affiliate brand. Every person on the team plays an active role in what you see on this site.
So here we are — the people behind CryptoHorizon.
🔹 Winston Todd – Founder & Editor-in-Chief
Winston entered the crypto gambling scene in 2015, when he placed his first BTC wager on a now-defunct platform out of sheer curiosity. Over time, this turned into a systematic effort to document and compare emerging casinos, long before the market went mainstream.
In 2023, he spoke at Blockchain Expo Europe in Amsterdam on the challenges of transparency in Web3 gambling. His analyses have been cited by Coindesk and Gambling Insider, and in 2024 he provided expert input for a Statista report on crypto casino trends.
At CryptoHorizon, Winston Todd oversees all editorial decisions and sets the standards for review methodology. He still personally checks platforms, scrutinizing bonus structures, wallet compatibility, and fairness tools. His background in investigative journalism shapes his work ethic — direct, accountable, and skeptical by default. He values reader trust more than partnerships and believes that publishing fewer, better reviews is what builds long-term credibility.
🔹 Friedrich Ostendorff – Crypto Gambling Advisor
Friedrich began his gambling industry career in 2001, managing floor operations in land-based casinos across Germany. Until 2015, he oversaw staff and conducted internal audits. Since 2018, he has focused exclusively on crypto casinos, advising platforms on operational reliability and risk.
At CryptoHorizon, Friedrich Ostendorff writes the majority of our articles and leads the editorial content strategy. He reviews bonus mechanics, evaluates customer service, and ensures that all listed casinos meet our licensing and compliance standards. He has attended the SIGMA iGaming Summit (Malta, Dubai) in 2022 and 2023, and co-authored a 2023 report on blockchain slot fairness published in iGaming Business.
Friedrich’s writing reflects real-world experience. He doesn’t rely on secondhand information — each guide is built from direct testing, regulatory checks, and clear editorial oversight.
🔹 David Kim – Casino Analyst and Writer
David has been exploring crypto casinos since 2016, when he made his first BTC deposit on a niche platform just to see how it worked. That curiosity became a habit — tracking payout speed, game fairness, and bonus reliability across dozens of sites.
At CryptoHorizon, David Kim handles in-depth platform analysis. He compares casino terms, verifies game RTPs, and runs regular backtests on payout performance. After attending Blockchain Seattle in 2018, he began applying blockchain concepts to game review structures, helping the team document contract-based fairness tools more clearly.
He also keeps a personal record of wallet compatibility issues across chains, which feeds directly into our platform rankings. Outside of reviews, David contributes to our monthly trend reports, helping identify shifts in token adoption and bonus mechanics before they hit the mainstream.
🔹 Rachel Chen – Content Manager and Reviewer
Rachel Chen started playing online casino games in 2012 and discovered crypto gambling in 2017. As a player, she noticed how hard it was to find reliable, updated info — especially around bonuses and withdrawals. That gap led her to content work.
Now she manages CryptoHorizon’s publishing schedule, edits every article before it goes live, and maintains our internal update log. She checks whether promotions are still valid, whether terms have changed, and whether new security practices have been implemented. Her fact-checking process is structured — she maintains a shared review checklist that the rest of the team follows.
Rachel’s process is simple: check everything twice, never assume, and write like someone’s going to base their next deposit on your words. That’s exactly what many readers do. It’s why her name shows up in the revision history of nearly every major page on the site.
🔹 Margaret Mills – Marketing and Outreach Specialist
Margaret came into crypto gambling from the fintech marketing world, where she’d been running user acquisition campaigns since 2015. She noticed early on that players were shifting to faster, more private options — and that most casino sites weren’t speaking to them clearly. That disconnect became her focus.
At CryptoHorizon, she oversees brand outreach, monitors audience behavior, and tests which types of messaging actually help users find what they’re looking for. She’s also responsible for structuring our email strategy and partner communications. Her segmentation work has helped increase repeat engagement by over 40% in the past year.
Margaret Mills doesn’t overpromise. She focuses on building long-term trust with both readers and partners — making sure our traffic reflects real interest, not inflated hype.
🔹 Chris Jacobs – Licensing and Compliance Lawyer
Chris began advising crypto startups in 2016, focusing on compliance frameworks as blockchain projects began intersecting with gambling laws. His experience spans regulatory analysis, AML policy design, and bonus structure audits across jurisdictions like Curaçao, Malta, and Estonia. He’s also contributed to legal reviews for cross-border casino operations and helped draft terms of service for several mid-sized platforms.
At CryptoHorizon, he reviews the legal status of each casino we cover. He checks licensing details, flags legal gray zones, and ensures that promotions and KYC processes meet international standards. He also keeps our team updated on emerging risks and regional changes — from tightening EU rules to shifting US interpretations.
Chris Jacobs doesn’t write headlines — he writes disclaimers, checks legal footnotes, and helps us avoid fine-print surprises. His role is invisible until something goes wrong — and that’s exactly how it should be.
🔹 Stephen Gacheru – UX Designer
Stephen Gacheru joined CryptoHorizon in its earliest design phase. With a background in frontend development and a history of working on SaaS interfaces, he built the site architecture from the ground up — prioritizing clarity, performance, and accessibility.
He’s responsible for every visual layer of the platform, from navigation flow to how review scores are displayed. He also leads usability testing and makes regular front-end adjustments based on user data and editorial needs.
Stephen believes good design shouldn’t compete with content. His work doesn’t call attention to itself — it guides you to the information that matters.
Our Editorial Approach
Everything we publish goes through a two-step review process. Every review starts with real testing — we sign up, deposit, claim the bonus, and check how the platform actually works. Then, before anything goes live, it’s double-checked for accuracy, clarity, and updates.
We don’t publish sponsored content. We don’t accept payment for positive reviews. If a casino’s listed on CryptoHorizon, it’s because it met our standards — not because it paid to be here.
Our priority is trust. We write for players, not algorithms.
Player Trust, Feedback & Transparency
CryptoHorizon is trusted by over 50,000 monthly readers around the world. Many of the updates you see on our site come directly from player reports — when a bonus changes, a payout is delayed, or a new coin is added, our readers let us know. We listen, verify, and update fast. That’s how we stay accurate — and why so many players come back.
We believe transparency includes being honest about how we operate. Some of the links on this site are affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission if you sign up through them. But we never accept payment for positive coverage, and no casino can buy its way onto our list.
If a platform doesn’t meet our standards, we don’t list it — no matter the offer. That’s a line we don’t cross.
