Claudia Hartley
Writer
Claudia fell into writing after graduating from her knitwear degree in 2016. She began fashion blogging, but was soon spotted by a recruiter at a gambling affiliate and quickly signed up to write for them. Alongside this new work, she maintained her fashion career, designing, knitting to order, and eventually opening a boutique in Brighton. However, over time it became clear that gambling was her true passion. So, in 2020 she closed the boutique and committed to writing for the gambling industry full-time.
Claudia credits much of her success to her eye for a great deal, which she honed during her brief fashion career. Nowadays that bargain hunting streak is put to great use in online gaming – finding and reviewing promotional offers, and picking out those bonuses that actually deliver great value for fellow players. Her diverse experiences have shaped her thorough and research-driven approach to writing, always infused with a touch of humour to remind readers that gambling should be, above all, fun.
In her early life, Claudia developed an enduring passion for horse racing, living just minutes away from Huntingdon Racecourse. She would be allowed a pound per race to have a bet and enjoyed cheering her horse past the winning post, whether first or last.
Though a traveller by nature, having lived in lots of cities across the UK and France, Claudia makes sure she is always near a racecourse. Now she lives in a narrowboat in London, where she's in the bustle of the city, and most importantly, close to sports venues and famous casinos.
As well as horse racing, Claudia loves the casino. A bit of a nerd at heart, the mathematics behind table games have always fascinated her, but she's also a massive slot game enthusiast. She loves nothing more than getting to review the latest releases, especially those with interesting maths models and unique mechanics. The stunning graphics in blockbuster slots ignite her creative side too.
As she continues to solidify her position as an industry expert, her goal is to help players find genuinely valuable deals and benefit from well-researched advice. Whether it's discovering the best bonuses, identifying standout slot games, or commenting on changes in the gambling landscape, Claudia is dedicated to guiding fellow gamblers to the best experiences.
