Lewis Bagshaw is a gambling expert based in Leicester who has been covering online casinos and iGaming since 2016. His analytical background helps him break down complex bonus terms, test casino platforms, and evaluate game mechanics to provide honest reviews for players. When he’s not testing the latest casino releases, Lewis enjoys PC gaming, following Sheffield United, and watching Formula 1 racing.
Expertise
Lewis started as a sports and eSports journalist, covering Premier League matches and European gaming championships before entering the casino space. He wrote match reports that were published minutes after the game ended and interviewed football chairmen about sensitive topics like safe standing.
He interned in Prague for a summer to hone his skills which opened his eyes up to iGaming outside of the UK. He’s written thousands of casino reviews and gambling guides while managing content teams at UK Linkology and Moneturn. He personally tested casinos daily while managing 15+ freelance writers.
His journalism background means he verifies licensing claims, documents real withdrawal experiences, and calls out weak regulatory jurisdictions that others gloss over. Based in Leicester, Lewis is an avid Sheffield United supporter (yes, he suffers through every match), rescue dog owner, and occasional F1 event attendee when he can justify the ticket prices.
I learned as a journalist that your credibility is everything. In casino content, that means doing actual real testing, and never recommending something you wouldn’t use yourself.
