Meet the OCS Editorial Team

OnlineCasinoSite.com has been built and maintained by a team of gambling journalists, researchers and industry veterans since 2001. Our contributors span Australia, the United States, Europe and Asia — covering real money casino markets from the ground up.

The team has its roots in 8th Rule Media, an Australian digital media company that has been publishing independent gambling content since 2001. Many of our writers got their start at AustralianGambling.com.au and CasinoSites.com.au before the OCS team expanded to cover the global market.
