About Hannah Cutajar
Hannah Cutajar has spent more than six years working inside the iGaming industry, not writing about it from the outside. She started her career in 2019 and has held roles spanning content strategy, product development, and user research at some of the most visited gambling platforms in the world. That combination of editorial and product-side experience is rare in this space, and it shows in how she approaches a casino review: less like a checklist exercise, more like an operational audit.
She currently serves as Head of Gaming at Casino.org, where she oversees a team of 14 editors and holds editorial responsibility for reviews, bonus analysis, and regulatory coverage across 12 international markets. Those markets include New Zealand, the United States, Canada, and a range of regulated jurisdictions in Europe and beyond. Before Casino.org, she held a senior position at Time2Play, part of the KaFe Rocks Group, one of the larger affiliate publishing groups in iGaming. Her work at Time2Play covered product architecture and audience-specific content strategy, giving her a working knowledge of how casino platforms are built and marketed, which directly informs how she evaluates them today.
Hannah studied at the University of Malta, which sits at the geographical centre of the global iGaming industry. Malta is home to the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), one of the most stringent licensing bodies in the world, and the proximity to regulators, operators, and compliance professionals has shaped how Hannah thinks about player protection and responsible gambling.
In 2022, she received a Rising Star Idol of the Year nomination at the iGaming IDOL awards, one of the few industry recognition programmes that is judged by peers rather than by submission panels. She is a regular attendee at ICE Barcelona and the iGB Affiliate Barcelona conference, two of the most significant trade events in the international gambling calendar.
What Hannah Covers
Hannah’s editorial focus at Casino.org sits across three main areas:
Online casino reviews. Casino.org uses a 25-step review methodology that Hannah helped develop and continues to oversee. It covers licensing and regulatory standing, software providers, payment processing times, bonus terms and wagering conditions, customer support responsiveness, and mobile compatibility. Every review is tested with real accounts where feasible, not assembled from operator-supplied information.
Bonus and promotion analysis. Wagering requirements, game contribution rates, time limits, and maximum win caps are the details most casino marketing avoids making obvious. Hannah’s team is specifically tasked with surfacing this information clearly, so that New Zealand players and readers in other markets can make genuinely informed decisions rather than being drawn in by headline figures.
Regulatory and market developments. Online gambling regulation in New Zealand, the US, and other key markets changes frequently. Hannah monitors announcements from licensing bodies, tracks legislative developments, and ensures that Casino.org’s content reflects the current legal position in each jurisdiction it covers.
Editorial Independence and Methodology
Casino.org operates on an affiliate model, which means the site earns commission when readers sign up at recommended casinos. Hannah applies the same review standards to casinos that advertise with Casino.org as to those that do not. Operators do not receive advance copies of reviews, and ratings are not adjusted based on commercial relationships. If a platform’s terms change in a way that harms players, the review is updated regardless of the operator’s advertising status.
The 25-step review process Hannah oversees requires reviewers to document findings at each stage before a final rating is applied. This means editorial decisions are traceable internally, and ratings cannot be adjusted after the fact without a recorded reason. Corrections and updates are noted transparently on published pages.
Hannah does not accept payment for positive coverage, does not participate in undisclosed sponsored content, and does not endorse specific platforms outside of the editorial framework applied to all reviews on the site.
A Note on the New Zealand Market
New Zealand has a specific regulatory environment for online gambling. Domestic online casinos are not currently licensed under New Zealand law, which means New Zealand players who gamble online are using offshore-licensed platforms. Hannah’s coverage of the New Zealand market specifically addresses which offshore operators hold credible licences from recognised regulatory bodies such as the MGA, the UK Gambling Commission, and the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, and how their terms and player protections compare.
She also covers responsible gambling resources relevant to New Zealand players, including the tools available through the Gambling Act 2003 framework and the support services operated by organisations such as the Problem Gambling Foundation of New Zealand.
Publications and Industry Presence
Hannah’s work has been published and cited across Casino.org’s network, which attracts tens of millions of readers globally each month. Her analysis has been referenced in industry discussions at iGB Affiliate events and in trade publications covering the affiliate and operator segments of the iGaming market.
She maintains an active professional presence at major iGaming conferences and contributes to industry conversations on editorial standards, responsible gambling practices, and the challenge of producing reliable consumer-facing content in a heavily marketed space.
