About Me
I made my first crypto casino deposit in 2015. At the time, it was more of a curiosity than anything else. I wanted to see how it worked and whether the idea of trustless gambling actually held up.
It didn’t. At least not yet. The platform was unstable. The terms were vague. The support never responded. But it left a question that stayed with me. How do you build a gambling platform that people can actually trust?
That question eventually led to CryptoHorizon. I started this project because I couldn’t find a single resource that showed how these platforms really worked. I wasn’t interested in affiliate rankings or bonus lists with no context. I wanted to know what was behind the promises, and whether players actually got what they were told.

What I Do at CryptoHorizon
As founder and editor-in-chief, I oversee everything we publish. I work closely with the team on how we test casinos, what questions we ask, and how we communicate the results.
I don’t take features at face value. I sign up, deposit real crypto, claim bonuses, talk to support, and go through the full player experience myself. If the platform fails even one critical step, I want to know why. And I want our readers to know too.
I also lead our review methodology. That includes how we score casinos, what counts as a red flag, and how we respond to reader feedback. If multiple players raise an issue, I take that seriously. We double-check, retest, and update reviews when needed.
For me, fewer honest reviews are more valuable than dozens of paid placements. This site exists to protect people, not to promote platforms that don’t deserve it.

I built CryptoHorizon to give players what I couldn’t find back when I started. A place that tests everything, explains the risks, and puts transparency first. That’s still our goal, and I make sure we stick to it every day.
If you’ve ever wondered whether a casino is really what it claims to be, that’s the kind of question this project was made to answer.
