What makes Ramona an expert?

Formerly Head of News at Malta’s leading media house and then Head of Media with one of the world’s largest organizers of iGaming conferences, Ramona is used to being top of her game within any sector. She is the author of three best-selling publications and throughout her 20+ year career in journalism she received two awards. Her fascination with digital content led to a career shift towards iGaming.

I joined the online casino community in the mid-noughties, at the height of the iGaming boom. I've witnessed the evolution of online and crypto casinos first-hand, which has given me an uncanny ability to zoom in to slots, games and bonuses that are ahead of the player trend. My legal background enables me to go through the important details with a fine tooth comb, guaranteeing player protection and recommendations that will never disappoint.

How does Ramona stay up-to-date?

As a journalist, Ramona has a passion for getting the scoop on everything so as to be the first to share that knowledge with players. Whether it’s a new bonus that’s about to drop or a major shift in regulations that will affect your experience, Ramona sniffs it out and reports on it. Some of her favourite iGaming news portals include:

  • EGR Global

    Ramona turns to EGR for reliable, up-to-the-minute iGaming industry news from around the world.

  • Gambling Insider

    Gambling Insider features top stories from the fast-paced industry. Ramona trusts them for the inside scoop.

  • Next.io

    Alongside running highly-acclaimed conferences, Next.io cover international news stories in the iGaming space.

What iGaming events does Ramona recommend?

With so many iGaming events taking place throughout different times of the year, it’s a bit difficult to choose. Below are some of my favourites.

  • SBC Summits in Europe

    They’re big enough to offer the full-on experience, without being too chaotic, and they have the best satellite events going on. And they’re always held in a different city, so it’s an excellent way to discover new places with your gambling peers.

  • CasinoBeats Summit Malta

    Of course I’m going to enjoy a mega event right on my turf. This summit tends to shape the landscape and anyone attending is assured a snapshot of upcoming trends, and movers and shakers.

  • IGB Affiliate London

    This is where it all happens, for anyone involved in the affiliation industry. A must-do, no matter where you’re based.
