Anne de Groot writes for betamina.net about the culture around online gambling: live tables, the feel of a lobby and the stories people attach to games. This page used to call her a «culture and interviews expert at Betamina» — she does not work for the operator, and this site conducts no interviews.
Her starting point: a game is not only mathematics, it is also an evening with friends, a habit or a ritual. That is what she describes, without attributing it to anyone she has not spoken to.
Where she writes about an operator’s lobby, it comes from that lobby: which sections are there, which studios sit in the provider filter and what the game’s information panel says — with the date of the check beside it.
Her style is personal; her claims are not. Anything stated as fact can be traced to a public source.
