Who is Alexandre Dubois?

Alexandre Dubois has been BetsRank's editor-in-chief and lead expert since 2016. Over 9 years of continuous editorial work, he has personally tested more than 31 online casinos and analyzed more than 129 slot machines using real accounts, real deposits, and real withdrawal requests.

His method: every test starts with a genuine deposit (minimum €50), a play session on bonus-eligible slots, then a withdrawal request to measure actual processing times. Results are documented with screenshots and a precise timeline.

His specialty

Slot analysis — Real vs advertised RTP, volatility measured across dozens of sessions, identification of downgraded builds.
Bonus testing — Real value after wagering, traps hidden in the T&Cs, actual withdrawal turnaround times.
Market watch — New casinos, new game mechanics, regulatory changes.

Methodology

Alexandre applies a 6-criteria grading grid to every casino: license, real bonus value, measured withdrawal time, documented KYC policy, tested support, mobile experience.

For slots, every sheet is built from the provider's official data (Pragmatic Play, Hacksaw Gaming, NoLimit City) cross-checked against real field sessions.

Detailed testing protocol

Every casino we test follows the same 8-step evaluation protocol to guarantee comparable, reproducible results:

1. License check — Looking up the license number in the regulator's registry (Curaçao eGaming, MGA, etc.).
2. Full registration — Creating an account with a real email + phone number, measuring the validation time.
3. Real deposit — Minimum €50 per method tested (card, Cashlib, crypto). Timing how long the credit takes.
4. Bonus testing — Activating the welcome offer, reading the full T&Cs, playing eligible slots at a standard stake.
5. KYC — Submitting full documents (ID, proof of address, bank statement). Measuring validation time and number of follow-ups.
6. Withdrawal request — A representative amount (€100-500). Timing until the funds actually arrive in the account/wallet.
7. Support testing — 2-3 concrete questions via chat (T&Cs, KYC, methods) plus email. Measuring response time and relevance.
8. Final scoring — A score out of 10 following the BetsRank 6-criteria grid. Published with screenshots and a timestamped timeline.

Average cost of a full audit: €200-500 in personal investment per casino (deposits not fully recovered).

Ethical commitments & transparency

✓ Editorial independence — BetsRank scores are never influenced by affiliate commission. Top-rated BetsRank casinos (SpinAura, BetRiviera) are partners, but so are casinos with low or hidden scores — the score depends on the test, not the contract.
✓ Real tests with real money — No review is based on screenshots supplied by casinos or demo accounts. Every test starts with a deposit from my own card/wallet.
✓ No dark patterns — No aggressive pop-ups, no forced redirects, no fake countdown timers, no spam retargeting. CTAs are clearly labeled as commercial partnerships.
✓ Visible responsible-gambling notices — Every article links to GambleAware / the National Gambling Helpline and national self-exclusion tools. No encouragement to exceed a budget.
✓ External sources cited — Every technical claim (RTP, licenses, mechanics) is sourced via eCOGRA, iTechLabs, official provider sites, and regulators.
