Q&A With Clara McKenzie
How do you define your role as a Fact Checker at LiveCasinoRank?
I verify claims across various platforms, confirm payout reports, and document live casino operations to ensure total accuracy. My goal is to make reviews and listings reliable for both Irish players and operators alike.
How do you assess live dealer integrity during checks?
I monitor multiple live sessions from providers like Playtech and Evolution Gaming, noting dealer behaviour and game round logs. I then compare outcomes against expected RNG or house rules. If anything looks inconsistent, I escalate the matter for a technical review and request raw session data.
What’s your typical process when verifying a disputed casino claim?
I trace the original source, cross-check with platform logs or live recordings, and contact operators for clarification. Every correction is documented so readers can see exactly how a conclusion was reached.
Which sources or tools do you rely on most for fact-checking?
I use platform-provided logs, recorded live feeds, regulatory filings, and direct operator correspondence. Third-party testing lab reports and records from payment providers like Revolut, Apple Pay, and Google Pay are also essential for verifying payout claims and processing times.
