Leo Marchetti — Senior iGaming reviewer

Leo Marchetti covers bonus terms and rakeback mechanics for RainyBet, reading the small print that decides whether a headline offer survives contact with an actual account.

Leo Marchetti, Senior iGaming reviewer at RainyBet

Leo Marchetti is RainyBet's Senior iGaming reviewer, with 10 years covering bonus terms and rakeback mechanics across online and crypto casinos.

Beat

Leo's coverage centres on the part of a casino offer most players never fully read: the terms attached to a bonus or rakeback programme, and how those terms interact with real play. That means wagering requirements, expiry windows, game weighting, VIP ladder structure, and the difference between a reward that pays as withdrawable balance and one that arrives as locked bonus funds.

He also writes the brand-vs-brand comparisons and the ranked lists on RainyBet, since judging one offer against another requires the same terms-first read applied consistently across every brand.

What he covers

  • Full brand reviews, scored against RainyBet's published scoring method
  • Bonus code breakdowns — what a code actually unlocks, and what it doesn't
  • VIP and rakeback ladder structure, including where an advertised ceiling is actually reachable
  • Direct brand-to-brand comparisons, matched mechanic by mechanic rather than headline by headline
  • The site's ranked "best of" lists and bankroll-management guidance

Editorial standards

Every figure Leo publishes traces back to either an operator's own published terms or our published scoring method — never to a third-party summary or an unverified forum claim. Where an operator has not published a wagering multiple, expiry window or similar figure as a fixed, quotable number, his pages mark it with a visible amber chip rather than estimating one. He does not write first-person anecdotes about signing up or withdrawing — expertise on these pages comes from reading the mechanics and the terms, not from a personal account history.

Licence, geo-restrictions and playing safely

Licensing. Access is blocked in a number of countries and US states, and the list is maintained by the operator rather than published as a stable document. The current restricted list and licence details live on the operator’s own terms page — read them before you register.

Your side of it. Crypto casinos settle fast, which is exactly what makes them easy to overplay. Before your first deposit at these operators, set a deposit cap and a session timer in the account settings — not in your head.

  • Deposit limits and self-exclusion tools live in account settings, not support chat
  • A losing session is not a signal to raise the stake — it is a signal to stop
  • Bonus turnover targets are not a reason to keep playing past your limit
  • Free, confidential help: BeGambleAware and Gambling Therapy
