What makes Rhianna Padman an expert?

Rhianna got into the iGaming industry while she was studying Ancient Greek and Latin in university, and those skills really shine through in her work. Her academic background in classics and psychology gives her a unique edge when analyzing game themes, player behavior, and the mechanics behind bonuses and reward systems.

What it’s like working with Rhianna

Charlon Muscat

Expert contributor

Unfortunately, honesty is something that is often lacking in the iGaming industry. That is very much not the case with Rhianna, who has never pulled a punch and never mis-represented something in all the time I have worked with her. She has strong opinions, which is exactly what you want, and she is great at expressing herself. If she senses something is wrong or can be improved, she offers constructive feedback, which I love.

Liam Blackley

Guide editor

I’m always struck by the depth of Rhianna’s knowledge. Name a Canadian online casino and she can not only tell you about the welcome bonus off the top of her head, but she’ll also break down the playthrough requirements too! It’s reassuring to have a colleague that is clearly an expert and I’m glad to be part of the same team as her.

She has never missed a deadline and never let the rest of the team down, which goes a very long way in such a fast-paced industry.
