Meet the Chesterfield Team
Every review on Chesterfield is written and fact-checked by people who know the UK gambling market inside out. Each writer owns the verticals they know best, and a second member of the team checks every figure, licence detail and bonus term before it goes live. You can reach any of them through our contact page.
Oliver Grantham — Senior Casino Reviewer
Oliver leads our online-casino coverage, including the best online casinos UK and non-GamStop casinos guides. He has spent more than a decade reviewing casino sites — starting on the operator side as a floor supervisor before moving into consumer reviewing — and specialises in bonus terms, wagering requirements and payout reliability. He opens and funds a real account on every site he rates.
Grace Bellamy — Slots & Bonuses Specialist
Grace covers our non-GamStop slots and no-deposit bonus guides. A lifelong slots player with a background in games QA, she focuses on RTP, volatility, software providers and — above all — the real cost hidden inside a bonus's wagering requirement. If an offer looks too good to be true, Grace does the maths and shows you why.
Thomas Fairbanks — Sports Betting Editor
Thomas heads our sportsbook coverage, including the best UK betting sites and non-GamStop bookmakers guides. A former odds compiler with twelve years in the betting industry, he assesses margins, market depth, in-play tools and the true value behind "Bet £10, Get £30" style free bets across football, racing and beyond.
Sophie Hartley — Crypto & Payments Writer
Sophie writes our best crypto casinos UK guide and owns everything payments-related. With a fintech background, she explains how to deposit and withdraw in Bitcoin, Ethereum and stablecoins, what "provably fair" actually means, the UK tax position on crypto, and how withdrawal speeds really compare method by method.
Our writers also share responsibility for the editorial desk — fact-checking each other's work for accuracy and ASA/CAP compliance, maintaining our review methodology, and keeping our responsible gambling guidance up to date. Our priority is simple: every page is honest about the risks as well as the rewards, and offshore operators are always clearly labelled as sitting outside UK Gambling Commission protection.

Our processHow We Produce a Review: Step by Step
- A specialist tests the site. The relevant writer — casino, sports or crypto — opens an account and tests it hands-on.
- We log the data. Bonus terms, wagering, minimum deposit, payout times and licence details are recorded from the source.
- We write with honest maths. The draft explains bonuses as a real £ stake requirement, never just the headline number.
- The editorial desk fact-checks it. A second person checks every figure, licence and claim for accuracy and ASA/CAP compliance.
- We publish and refresh. The review goes live with a named byline and date, and is updated as the operator changes its terms.
