Q&A with Sacha
What got you into writing about casinos?
"My journey kicked off in the dynamic world of fashion writing, where I initially honed my skills. However, after moving to Malta, I found myself immersed in a vastly more exciting industry landscape. It was here that I began my brief yet impactful tenure with SiGMA's magazine, gaining valuable insights into the thriving iGaming sector. From there, I joined an affiliate company, where I played a pivotal role in launching websites tailored for the burgeoning US market.
The vibrancy and potential of the iGaming industry captivated me and sparked a profound dedication to advancing my career within this dynamic sphere. Driven by a passion for innovation and a commitment to making meaningful contributions to the industry's ongoing evolution, I have since been embracing opportunities, pushing my individual growth and development."
What's the first thing you look for at an online casino?
"The initial aspect I prioritize when assessing an online casino is its regulatory status and licensing. Checking for a valid license from a reputable regulatory authority is super important as it indicates the casino's adherence to stringent standards for player safety, fairness, and responsible gaming. I always check for licenses from esteemed jurisdictions such as the UK Gambling Commission, Malta Gaming Authority, or the Gibraltar Regulatory Authority. You would usually find this information displayed on the casino's website or detailed in its terms and conditions."
If you could only play one casino game forever, what would it be?
"If I had to stick with one game forever, it'd be blackjack, hands down. There's just something about the strategy, the suspense, and that rush when you beat the dealer that keeps me hooked. I wouldn't consider myself quick by any means, but blackjack always keeps me entertained for hours."
Do you have any industry awards?
"I was shortlisted in the top 3 for the iGaming IDOL - Manager of the Year 2023 award. This award show recognizes influential individuals in the iGaming industry. Being among the top contenders was truly an honor in itself. Moreover, I'm immensely proud that the award went to Alex, our Chief Gaming Officer at Casino.org!"

Sacha's casino memories
Best gambling experience
- "The very first time I played blackjack, I was in my early twenties on a cruise in the Bahamas. My friend's dad taught me how to play, and gave me a stack of cash to play with. I must have had beginner's luck because I walked away with much more. Lucky for him I'm a person with integrity and I promptly returned his cash plus the winnings!"
Worst gambling experience
- "I honestly have not had terrible gambling experiences because I always ensure I play responsibly. When I play casino games, I set limits for myself and I understand the risks involved with each game. In doing so, I maintain a positive and enjoyable relationship with gambling."
"Every step of growth I have ever experienced has involved the help and support from my team. As Abby Wambach once said, 'I’ve never scored a goal in my life without getting a pass from someone else.'"
