About Joseph Skelker
Joseph Skelker is a UK-based senior content producer with more than 17 years of experience writing for regulated online gambling markets. Over his extensive career, he has produced thousands of pages of content for leading iGaming brands, including industry heavyweights Entain (GVC Group) and William Hill, where he contributed to landing pages, betting guides, game descriptions, and in-depth casino resources.
His expertise spans multiple international markets. At CasinoReviews.net, Joseph has played a pivotal role in developing our UK and Canadian content ecosystems, writing UK casino reviews, CA online casino reviews, and producing authoritative evaluations of casinos operating within the Ontario regulatory framework (iGO/AGCO). His work extends to the United States as well, where he specialises in social casinos' evaluation. In addition, Joseph specialises in Philippines-facing online casinos, where his work focuses on international operators accepting Philippine players, player protections, licensing context, and offshore regulation payment methods commonly used in the Philippines market.
Over the years, Jo has crafted 200+ content pages for our platform, including comprehensive guides, regulatory explainers, bonus comparisons, editorial features, and operator reviews. He is also the lead writer behind our Top 10 Slots of the Month series, which involves hands-on testing and analysis of over 50 slots monthly to identify the top 10.
Beyond his editorial expertise, Joseph is an avid slot tester, having personally evaluated over 2,000 slot titles across a wide range of providers. His analyses cover mechanics, volatility levels, bonus features, math models, and overall user experience, making him a trusted voice when it comes to slot games.
Before focusing entirely on iGaming, Joseph also wrote for several industries including finance, health, cannabis, online psychics, and recipe platforms, giving him a uniquely adaptable writing background. Today, that versatility enhances his ability to explain complex gambling topics clearly and accurately to players of all experience levels.
Joseph’s mission is simple: to provide honest, thoroughly researched, and trustworthy content that helps players make safe, informed decisions about where and how to play online.
