Liam Hargrove

Lead Casino Reviewer · GameReviewBase

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia · 11+ years reviewing online casinos · [email protected]

Liam has reviewed offshore casinos for Australian players since 2015 and runs the GameReviewBase testing desk. A journalism graduate of RMIT University in Melbourne, he started out reporting on the industry for trade titles such as iGaming Business before moving to consumer reviews. These days he spends most of his time on the part players actually care about — making a deposit, clearing a welcome bonus and timing how long a real PayID withdrawal takes to land. His focus is payout behaviour, bonus value and how a site holds up on a phone, and he signs off on every casino review the site publishes.

Areas of expertise

  • Casino testing & payout verification
  • Welcome bonus terms
  • PayID & card withdrawals
  • Pokies & live-dealer lobbies
  • Mobile casino UX

How Liam tests

Every casino Liam signs off on is put through the same hands-on process — a real account, a real deposit, a claimed bonus and a timed withdrawal — before it earns a Payout Score. You can read the full method, and the seven weighted criteria behind every score, on our team & methodology page.

Latest from Liam

Liam does not gamble on the sites reviewed here beyond what testing requires, and follows the same advice we give readers — set a deposit limit and treat any bonus maths as a cost, not a profit. Free, confidential support is available through Gambling Help Online.
