David Kim – Casino Analyst & Writer

About Me

I’ve always been more of a numbers person than a storyteller. When I first deposited BTC on a crypto casino in 2016, it wasn’t about the thrill — I just wanted to understand how the system worked.

That curiosity grew into a habit: tracking payout speeds, verifying RTPs, and running backtests across dozens of platforms.

Before joining CryptoHorizon, I worked in fintech analytics and database QA, where I learned how to spot inconsistencies and translate raw output into actionable insight. That background still shapes everything I do — from comparing contract fairness tools to identifying patterns behind bonus reliability.

At CryptoHorizon, I focus on the details others often skip. While some write the narrative, I test the structure underneath it.

What I Do at CryptoHorizon

My work starts where most reviews end. I take the raw test results from each casino — and turn them into insights. That includes verifying claimed RTPs, checking bonus terms against historical payout data, and comparing player treatment across casinos that seem similar on the surface.

I’m also responsible for building and maintaining our internal payout benchmark database, which tracks how long it actually takes different platforms to process withdrawals under real conditions. That includes edge cases: weekends, high amounts, token-specific slowdowns.

When we publish a guide that compares welcome bonuses, cashback offers, or wagering rules, I’m usually behind the numbers.

I’ve been that person myself: confused by vague terms, stuck in withdrawal queues, unsure whether a casino was just flashy or actually fair. That’s why I test everything, double-check the rules, and flag the gaps before you fall into them. If I can save someone time, money, or just one bad experience, then the work was worth it.
