About Me - John Bonello, Casino Content Editor
I’ve been immersed in the world of iGaming and online casinos since 2011, and what a ride it’s been! What started as a freelance gig writing content turned into a full-fledged career, first with Casumo, then with GDC, where I had the chance to shape and elevate content in this fast-paced industry. Along the way, I managed to blend my lifelong passion for literature and linguistics with my unexpected detour into the world of information technology.
It’s funny – looking back, my journey seems like a series of fortunate accidents: From studying literature, diving into tech, and then finding a way to marry the two as a content writer. But here I am, thriving at the intersection of creativity and tech. Today, I’m a content specialist in the iGaming sector, helping brands create compelling narratives that keep players engaged.
When I’m not crafting the next great piece of content, you’ll find me geeking out over a good book or diving into the latest trends in online gaming. The journey’s been full of twists and turns, but in the end, it’s all come together in the best way possible.
My Role at Casinos.com
Within an industry that is continuously evolving, there are always new casinos to be reviewed, interesting topics to write about, new casino games to try, payment methods to explore and more. And this is what I do. I do tons of research and ask a LOT of questions to make sure that the articles I write are delivering the most accurate information to our readers.
With so many interesting and vibrant topics to write about, I feel it is my mission to use the Casinos.com platform as a means to inform people about what's simmering within iGaming, about new exciting casinos to try, and how the industry is changing and evolving driven by new regulations. There's so much to do! I wouldn't dream of being anywhere else right now.

Expertise
I’m a content marketer with a passion for all things iGaming, and I’ve spent years honing my expertise in the online casino world. Whether it’s slots, table games, or live casinos, I’ve got a deep understanding of how these games work and how to translate that into content that players actually want to read. My goal? To create engaging articles that not only entertain but also increase a player’s knowledge – whether it’s demystifying game mechanics or breaking down the latest trends in the industry.
I’m also a bit of a UX enthusiast, always looking for ways to improve the digital experience. From website design to user engagement, I’m focused on making sure players have an intuitive, seamless experience that keeps them coming back.
At the end of the day, I love combining my iGaming expertise with a touch of creativity to deliver content that’s both informative and fun. If you’re looking for someone who can bring a fresh perspective and help your audience level up, I’m your person!
Books I Read
My favourite genres are fantasy (Lord of the Rings, Wheel of Time, Mistborn, The Dark Tower) and spy thrillers (Bourne, James Bond). The book that impressed me the most in my life is Cloud Atlas, by David Mitchell.
I write, therefore I am.
When I’m Not Here, Where Am I?
So. the chances are that if I'm not working, I'm either playing table tennis down at the club, enjoying a walk in the countryside or at my olive grove, tending the trees in the hope of getting some quality olive oil next year. Oh, and did I mention I love writing? So far, I have published 21 books – 17 in my native Maltese, 3 in English and 1 in Spanish. I have also won the Malta National Book Prize award 7 times.
My Top Slot Picks
Big Bad Wolf – Quickspin
Playing the Big Bad Wolf is like stepping into a whimsical fairy tale – except, of course, with a lot more spinning reels and big payouts. The three little pigs are the stars of the show, and the “Blowing Down the House” feature is as satisfying as it sounds. Plus, who doesn’t love a cheeky wolf?
Jack and the Beanstalk – NetEnt
A classic with a modern twist! I’ve always had a soft spot for the Jack and the Beanstalk slot, with its stunning visuals and an adventure that takes you up, up, and away. The expanding wilds and free spins bring the magic to life, and the thought of reaching the treasure chest at the top always keeps me coming back for more.
Reactoonz – Play'n GO
If you're in the mood for something quirky, Reactoonz is where it’s at. With its bizarre, lovable alien creatures and cascading reels, it’s chaotic in the best way possible. Every spin feels like a new adventure, and the Gargantoon feature is pure excitement.
Dead or Alive II – NetEnt
For those who love a good wild west showdown, Dead or Alive II is a no-brainer. It’s high volatility with the potential for massive wins – plus, who doesn’t love the thrill of chasing down those elusive free spins? The Wild West theme is top-notch, and every spin feels like a duel at high noon.
