Alexander, born in 1979 in Rostov, has been interested in maths and logic since childhood, dreaming of becoming an engineer. However, in the late 1990s, after discovering online casinos, he switched to studying gambling, recognising the complex mathematical systems involved. Working for a regional newspaper (from correspondent to deputy editor-in-chief), he learnt fact-checking and critical analysis - skills that later became the basis for his work on Casinoz. Alexander checks every detail, from the RTP of slots to the terms of bonuses, demanding documentary proof. Colleagues call him the ‘microscope man’ for his meticulousness in verifying data. He not only exposes inaccuracies, but also teaches players strategies, bankroll management and how to recognise unscrupulous casinos, turning gambling from a game into a science. Thousands of users trust his recommendations, knowing that behind every word is a week of testing and years of expertise.
