Our Team — Betpot

Author cards

The named author on each review carries editorial responsibility for the page: the facts in it, the figures, the screenshots and the recommendations. Author bylines link to a short biography with the editor's background, areas of expertise and the places they have worked before. The author who signs off the review is the person you should contact if you believe a page is wrong. Writing is a team effort — a second editor reads every review before it is published — but accountability sits with the named byline, not the collective. Each byline also shows the date the editor joined the team, the number of operator reviews they have signed off and the dates of their last three quarterly refreshes. We treat the author photograph the same way we treat the operator screenshots: it is a real person we have met, not a stock image, and the photo is dated. If an editor leaves the team we keep their byline and biography on the site rather than silently removing them; the page is marked former contributor and the review they signed is reassigned to the senior editor who maintains it now. This way the archive stays navigable and no reader is left wondering where a familiar name went.

How we work

Reviews follow a shared document the whole team can see. The author opens the account, deposits, plays, requests a withdrawal and takes screenshots along the way. A second editor opens their own account at the same operator the following week and runs through the same checklist independently. If the two sets of findings disagree, we hold the piece until we have reconciled the difference — usually with a third account at the operator. Only then does the review go live. The quarterly refresh follows the same ritual, with the same two editors, so changes between visits are visible as a diff. Review drafts live in the document for at least two weeks before publication so that nothing goes live on the back of a single bad session or a single lucky one. If a brand is new to our list we publish the first review within six weeks of first deposit; we do not publish faster than that because a brand that has only been live for a fortnight has not had time to show problem patterns at scale. Changes between quarterly refreshes are logged in a visible changelog at the bottom of each review so a returning reader can see exactly what moved: a bonus percentage change, a new or removed payment method, a tightened wagering requirement, a slower payout, or a change in licence. We date each entry so you can judge for yourself whether the review in front of you is still fresh.

Roles

The team is small: an editor-in-chief who owns the roadmap and the public voice, two senior editors who write and review the operator pages, a fact-checker who verifies licence numbers and bonus terms before publication, and a technical editor who looks after the site itself. Partnerships, legal and compliance are handled by named external advisers rather than hidden behind a group inbox. If you need to reach a specific role, the Contact page lists each inbox and the kinds of question each one takes. Vacant positions are listed on the Careers page when they come up; we hire slowly, we favour writers with first-hand experience of the Nigerian market, and we do not hire tipsters or anyone whose public byline promotes picks or systems. Freelance contributors are listed by name on the Contact page when a review was partly written by one, and we disclose any potential conflict of interest in the author biography on the page itself. We prefer freelancers who have been players in the market we are writing about rather than general copywriters, and we pay a market rate rather than a word rate so there is no incentive to pad the review. The technical editor keeps a public changelog of site infrastructure updates on the Methodology page; that way readers can tell when a search change, a page redesign or a tracking change affects how the site presents operator data.
