As Lead Editor and Casino Expert at Australian-Retailers-Association.com, Olivia brings over a decade of specialized experience to her comprehensive reviews and insightful analyses.
Professional Journey
Olivia’s career in the gambling industry began in 2011 when she joined a prominent sports betting company as a content writer. Her natural talent for explaining complex betting systems in accessible language quickly caught the attention of management, leading to her promotion to senior content strategist within two years.
In 2014, Olivia identified a significant gap in the Australian market—reliable, honest information about online casinos targeting Australian players. This realization prompted her to join Australian-Retailers-Association.com as a contributing writer, where she quickly distinguished herself through meticulous research and player-centered reviews.
By 2017, Olivia had assumed the role of Lead Editor, overseeing all content production and establishing the rigorous review methodology that has become the site’s hallmark.

- Advanced analytical skills for evaluating casino game RTPs (Return to Player percentages) and volatility
- Comprehensive awareness of payment methods available to Australian players and their security features
Her analytical approach is complemented by a player-first philosophy that prioritizes consumer protection over industry relationships—a stance that has occasionally put her at odds with operators but earned the unwavering trust of Australian-Retailers-Association’s readership.

She is particularly passionate about responsible gambling advocacy, regularly producing educational content on setting limits and recognizing problem gambling behaviors.
