In 2012, James shifted to regulatory work, becoming a Technical Compliance Specialist with the UK Gambling Commission. Throughout his five-year role, he played a key part in creating and executing technical standards specifically for UK-licensed online casino operators, developing crucial understanding of the regulatory structure that safeguards British players.
James subsequently moved to the commercial arena as Head of Product at a prominent casino software company, where he managed the creation of gaming solutions designed for the UK marketplace. His comprehensive knowledge of both technical requirements and regulatory adherence essential for UK operations positions him exceptionally well to assess casino platforms serving British customers.

Sarah Mitchell – Co-Founder & Research Director
Sarah’s proficiency in the UK gambling sector originated at the respected London School of Economics, where she obtained her Master’s in Statistics and Data Analysis. Her systematic methodology and enthusiasm for understanding UK market dynamics led her to Ladbrokes in 2010 as a Risk Analyst, developing advanced models exclusively for UK sports betting and casino markets.
Following three productive years at Ladbrokes, Sarah joined Evolution Gaming as a Senior Business Analyst, concentrating on the company’s UK market development. Her knowledge of live dealer technologies and skill in recognizing emerging patterns in British player preferences proved vital in customizing products for UK tastes and regulations.
In 2016, Sarah launched her independent consultancy firm, focusing on UK market analysis and competitive research for online gambling operators pursuing UKGC licensing. Her client base featured major operators targeting the British market, and her UK gambling trend reports were frequently referenced in industry publications and UKGC consultations.
Sarah’s thorough research methodology and broad network of UK industry connections allow her to deliver readers the most up-to-date and precise information about casinos serving British players. She demonstrates particular enthusiasm for UK responsible gambling programs and the comprehensive player protection standards required by the UKGC.
Beyond professional duties, Sarah enjoys travel, photography, and volunteering with GamCare, the UK charity offering support for individuals affected by gambling issues.
