Background & Expertise
Leon made his entry into iGaming at age 22 when he moved to Malta and began working for leading online gambling operators. Over the following years he gained first-hand insight into how bonuses are structured, and how promotions are marketed to different markets.
This operational experience gives him a rare edge when reviewing and curating offers — he doesn’t just see the “headline bonus”, he knows what the operator is thinking.
At Hityah, Leon has taken on the role of bonus curator and fact-checker. His key responsibilities include:
- Monitoring and vetting UK-licensed casino bonuses, free spins offers and reload deals
- Writing and updating casino guides and promotional pages to reflect accurate, current terms
- Checking every detail from wagering requirements to payment restrictions, so readers don’t waste time on misleading offers
- Leveraging his UK network of operator contacts to find early, exclusive or time-sensitive promotions
His focus is on clarity, transparency and actual value — not just big numbers. Leon believes that a good bonus is one you understand and can realistically play through, and he’s committed to making sure our readers get both.
UK Market & Industry Insight
With a UK base and operator-side experience, Leon is uniquely positioned to assess the UK online casino landscape. His areas of focus include:
- Bonus terms and fairness: analysing whether a “200% match bonus” is worth it when you factor in 50× wagering and only a few included games
- Withdrawal speed: understanding how payment methods impact cash-out times and player satisfaction
- Regulation & licensing: staying up-to-date with the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) rules and how they affect promotions and player protection
- Market nuances: what works for UK players (e.g., PayPal, Apple Pay, free spins) vs. what looks like a lure but lacks substance
Leon has helped the Hityah team refine its promotional listings so that UK players see the latest bona‐fide offers first, not hype.
Approach to Trust & Responsible Play
Because Leon comes from an operator background, he knows where the pitfalls lie. At Hityah.com he emphasises:
- Full transparency: showing all major bonus terms (expiry, wagering, excluded games) at a glance
- Responsible gambling: making sure free spins & reloads aren’t framed as “easy wins,” but as entertainment with limits
- Freshness: Promotions change fast — Leon helps ensure our listings stay current and don’t mislead
- Reader value: He checks that a bonus isn’t just large in number but useable in practice
The goal: let readers make smart choices rather than chasing flashy but impractical deals.

Outside the Desk
When he’s not working on content, Leon can usually be found exploring new coffee spots around London, debating which neighbourhood has the best flat white, or attempting to convince friends that long walks count as a hobby.
