Q&A with Hannah

What's the first thing you look for in an online casino?
“The first thing I look for in an online casino is a strong reputation to ensure a secure gambling environment. I also recommend looking for something with a wide selection of games so you can try different options, find your niche, and have the most enjoyable entertainment experience.”
If you could only play one casino game forever, what would it be?
“If I could only play one casino game forever, it would definitely be blackjack. The level of strategy involved is fun without becoming too complex, which is a good combination over an extended period of time. That being said, I do also enjoy the odd game of poker, inspired by my favourite iGaming influencer (Victoria Coren Mitchell)!”

Hannah's top tip“Everyone has different preferences for what they are willing to spend. If you are new to online gambling you may be less comfortable placing a larger bet, particularly if you haven’t found your preferred games yet. I’d recommend looking for an online casino that allows flexibility in bet sizes so that you always feel comfortable and can enjoy your experience responsibly.”
