About Liam
I started covering Australian online casinos in 2017, back when POLi was the only painless deposit option and crypto withdrawals were a curiosity rather than the default. Nine years on I have personally tested more than 150 casinos targeting Aussie players, opened over 300 real money accounts, and walked through KYC checks with more than 100 different operator support teams.
My focus on Sky Crown is the parts of the experience that move money: the bonus mechanics, the wagering math, the KYC flow and the speed at which a real cashout actually lands. Every figure I publish on this site is backed by a deposit I made, a session I logged or a withdrawal I timed. Where my data disagrees with the casino's marketing copy, I publish my number and explain why.
Before Sky Crown I covered iGaming for a regional Australian newspaper's gambling vertical and contributed to several industry trade publications. I am currently a member of the Australian iGaming Editors Working Group and speak twice a year at SBC Summit Barcelona on responsible-gambling editorial practice.
