Fact-checker
Aarav Menon
With NewCasinoRank since January 2020
Aarav Menon is a fact-checker at NewCasinoRank, originally from Mumbai. He has a master's degree in data science and predictive analytics, and he checks the details on new casino pages before and after they are published: licences, bonus terms and the facts each casino states.
Outside work he explores local markets and studies gemstones.
On our UK site he checks the facts that matter most to British readers: whether a casino's UK licence is current on the Gambling Commission's register, whether you can play in pounds and whether its bonus terms respect the 10x wagering cap.

How Aarav works
How Aarav checks a new casino page
Aarav checks each claim against its source: the licence against the regulator's register where one exists, the bonus terms against the casino's own terms page, and the figures in a worked example against the formula behind them.
When a detail cannot be confirmed, he marks it as stated by the casino or as missing, and the page says so.
I check each detail against clear criteria so players get straightforward information. If something doesn't add up, I flag it rather than gloss over it.
What they check
- Licence number against the regulator's register
- Bonus wagering and caps against the casino's terms
- Worked bonus examples recalculated
- Missing facts marked as missing

Questions for Aarav
How do you check a bonus claim before it is published?
I read the bonus terms on the casino's own site and compare them with what our page says: wagering, maximum bet, time limit and any cap on winnings. If something does not match, the page is corrected before it goes live.
What do you check first at a new casino?
The licence. I look for the licence number in the footer and search for it on the regulator's register. If there is no register to search, the page says the licence is stated by the casino.
How does data analysis help with fact-checking?
It helps me spot numbers that do not fit, such as an offer that is out of line with the rest of the list or a calculation that does not add up, so I know where to look closer.
How do you make complex bonus terms readable?
With worked examples. Showing what 10 times wagering on a £100 bonus costs in pounds is clearer than the legal wording.
