Hannah Smith — Career & Background
Everything behind the bio card — her path in, her education, what colleagues say, and where she's headed next.
🎓 How She Got Here
Hannah is a recent graduate starting out her career in the iGaming industry. She began by learning from experienced heads at Casino.org, working across the UK and New Zealand markets before moving on to specialise in the US — bringing the highest quality content to a new audience of players.
Her background isn't in marketing or business — it's in literature. Years spent composing research essays and newspaper columns gave her an eye for detail and a knack for investigating and synthesising complex information, skills that transferred directly into casino content. Research is her main focus, and it shows in every article she fact-checks.
