Meet Helen Robinson, our auditor.

Helen joined SlotsGamblers in June 2026 as the site's dedicated fact-check and QA auditor — a role David created once there was enough output that someone needed to own the last read-through before anything went live. Before her, that read-through was David's own job, squeezed in between writing and sign-off; splitting it out meant the person doing the checking wasn't also the person who wrote the line being checked. She's the newest hire on the desk, one month in, so this page is a short, dated record of what she's actually checked so far, not a claim to a long track record.

Her job sits at the end of the pipeline, not the start: does the licence number resolve on the regulator's own register, does the bonus term match the operator's own T&Cs word for word, does the payout figure match what Marc actually wrote down in his own timed test. She doesn't re-run anyone's work — she doesn't replay Claire's RTP session or Kevin's wagering spreadsheet — she checks that what's published matches what the specialist actually found, and if a number has drifted since the draft was written, she's the one who catches it before a reader does. She's still learning each desk's shorthand — Marc's payment-speed notation, Kevin's EV shorthand for tiered wagering — but she's already sent two mismatched payout figures back for fixes before publish, logged and dated in her own working notes.

Based in Bristol, covering GB, CA and US, she works the desk in reverse order from everyone else: where David, Kevin, Marc and Claire build a review outward from research, Helen works backward from the published line to its source, one claim at a time. It's a slower read than a normal edit pass, and she's said openly that a month in she hasn't yet built the instinct for where errors tend to hide — that comes with more reviews checked, not less care taken on this one.

What she brought to the role wasn't years on this desk — she doesn't have those yet — but a habit of treating a plausible-sounding number as unverified until she's seen the source herself. The corrections log she keeps isn't a formality: every fix is dated, initialled and left visible in the desk log at the bottom of this page, including the ones that are hers to own if she signed off on something that turned out wrong. She'd rather the record show a fact-checker who's a month in and still learning than one who never made a mistake because she never wrote anything down.
