Marten Kask
Editor-in-chiefThe editor-in-chief, who opens test accounts anonymously and measures foreign crypto casinos' withdrawals and KYC requirements with his own money.
Marten runs the kryptokasiinod.ee editorial team and is responsible for every review resting on measured experience rather than a casino's press release. He opens test accounts anonymously, makes deposits and withdrawals with his own money and writes down the whole route — including what went wrong. The casino does not know which account the editorial team is behind, and no text goes to the operator for review before publication.
On his desk are withdrawal speed and KYC: when documents are asked for, at what turnover or amount the threshold is crossed and how long it takes before the money actually reaches the wallet. Before gambling he wrote on finance and technology, and that background has stuck — every claim has to be either measured or quoted from the terms, otherwise it is not in the text.
The editorial methodology is born under Marten's hand too: which metrics count at all, when an assessment drops and how errors are corrected. His remit also covers responsible gambling content — including making sure the reader is always told clearly that foreign casinos are not connected to the Estonian self-exclusion register HAMPI, that restrictions set there do not apply here automatically and that help is available on 15410.
