Meet Ramona Depares, our casino writer

With more than five years of experience in online gaming, Ramona has put her law degree to good use in the casino and sports betting industry, specialising in the legalities surrounding emerging and regulated markets and how the players’ interests can be best protected.

Fun fact: "I always go straight to the live blackjack tables. I used to play with my grandmother as a child - with fake chips, of course - and it makes me smile remembering how competitive we were. In our part of the world it was called ‘vent’un’, which is Italian for the number ‘21’. I only realised that it’s the same game when I joined the casino industry, so now I always have to play in honour of my nanna."
