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.

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.
