Elena Marchetti
Tests every casino account personally and re-verifies each promo code before it goes live.
Elena has been reviewing online casinos since 2018, first for a payments-focused trade blog and since 2022 as the person responsible for every brand page on Roulette Wheel. She opens each account herself, deposits her own money, plays roulette specifically (not slots), and then tries to withdraw — because a bonus is only as good as the cash-out that follows it.
Her reviews focus on the parts operators would rather you skimmed: wagering multipliers, game weighting on roulette (which is usually far below 100%), maximum bet caps while a bonus is active, and how long a withdrawal actually takes at 2am on a Sunday rather than what the FAQ promises.
She maintains the promo-code table, re-checks every code on a rolling schedule, and removes any offer that stops working — which is why you will occasionally see fewer brands here than on comparison sites that never clean their tables.

Editorial standards
Every page Elena Marchetti publishes carries a byline and a last-updated date. Figures are recalculated rather than copied from other sites, and corrections are made in place with the date changed. Commercial relationships with operators never influence a rating — our scoring method is published in full, and our affiliate disclosure explains how the site is funded.
How Elena Marchetti works
No casino is reviewed on this site without a real account, a real deposit of at least $100 from her own funds, at least 200 spins of roulette specifically, and a withdrawal timed end to end. Operators are not told a review is happening and never see one before publication.
The parts of a review that take longest are the ones readers skim: the wagering multiplier, the game-weighting table, the maximum bet permitted while a bonus is active and the maximum cash-out. Those four lines decide whether an offer is worth anything, and three of them are usually several clicks from the promotion page.
Promo codes are re-entered on live accounts on a rolling schedule rather than trusted to stay valid. When a code stops working it is removed from the site rather than left up, which is why this table occasionally lists fewer operators than comparison sites that never clean theirs.
Contact and corrections
Elena Marchetti answers editorial mail directly at editors@roulettewheel.io. If a figure or a claim on any page below is wrong, say which page and what you believe is incorrect. Corrections are made in place, the updated date on the page changes, and where the error was material we note what changed rather than editing quietly.
