Nordic iGaming Expert
Olav Erlandsen
Chief Editor & Writer @ Spillsen
With 9 years of experience in the online casino industry as an online manager and strategist, I review today's casinos and cover the hottest news with precision, transparency, and passion.
Professional Background
It has been exactly 9 years since I started my career in the casino industry, and my interest hasn't faded in the slightest. These years have cultivated a solid understanding of casinos in all their forms—and a talent for writing interesting, factual, and useful articles for players.
Since 2022, I have taken on the ultimate responsibility for publications at Spillsen, stepping into the role of Chief Editor. My goal is to improve and guarantee the quality of all Spillsen publications. I strongly maintain that casino journalism should radiate credibility, but simultaneously incorporate personality and enjoyment.

My Review Philosophy
After nearly a decade in the industry, I evaluate casinos based on three non-negotiable pillars.
Transparency First
A good casino doesn't hide its terms. I prioritize analyzing wagering requirements, hidden caps, and withdrawal limits so players know exactly what they are getting into.
Instant Payouts
In 2026, there is no excuse for slow withdrawals. I strictly evaluate cashier processing times, championing modern payment methods for immediate transactions.
Game Curation
It's not just about having thousands of games; it's about quality. I look for platforms that seamlessly blend high RTP slots, massive progressives, and premium live dealer lobbies.
