Founder & lead casino reviewer
Max has spent more than nine years in the gambling industry, including inside large gambling companies, and helped build and launch an online casino. He knows where the money is made: in bonus terms, withdrawal limits and verification delays. At ClickWins he uses that knowledge to show players where the traps are before they deposit.

Why “Max Roian” is a pen name
Max writes under a pen name and does not publish his photo or employment history. That lets him write openly about how operators treat players, including the kind of companies he used to work for, without pressure from the industry.
We know that asks for some trust, so we make the rest of our work easy to check. Every review shows when we last checked it and links to the sources behind its figures: regulator registers, AskGamblers, Casino Guru and Trustpilot. Our testing method is public.
What Max does at ClickWins
- Tests casinos with real money. He makes a deposit, plays, completes verification and requests a withdrawal, and records how long each step takes.
- Reads the terms that decide whether you get paid. Maximum cash-out rules, bonus wagering, maximum bet rules, dormant-account fees and confiscation clauses.
- Checks licences. He matches licence numbers against the regulator’s public register where one exists.
- Tracks complaints. He follows complaint records on independent sites and uses them in our reviews.
What Max will not do
- Recommend a casino he has not tested with real money.
- Call a casino a scam without evidence. Where we only have reported problems, we say so.
- Hide how ClickWins makes money. We earn commissions from some links. See our affiliate disclosure.
