Olivia Grant

Responsible-gambling advocate and reviewer — the person who writes and maintains the reviews on shabiki.info.

Background

Olivia started out moderating a poker forum before moving into full-time casino analysis, and still reads bonus terms the way lawyers read contracts — from the exceptions backwards. That adds up to roughly ten years around the industry — long enough to know which promises operators keep and which ones quietly expire. Her experience spans both European and African gaming markets, giving her a broad perspective on how different platforms serve different player communities.

How Olivia reviews

If the demo and the real-money version behave differently, readers hear about it first. Each page on this site follows the same routine: fresh account, real deposit, timed withdrawal, and a full read of the terms before a single line is published. For Shabiki specifically, Olivia tests using payment methods popular with Kenyan players — including M-Pesa, Airtel Money and card options — to ensure the deposit and withdrawal experience matches what the platform advertises.

Editorial standards

Olivia does not accept payment for favourable coverage. Affiliate links fund the site (see the disclosure), but ratings and warnings are written before any link is placed. Factual errors flagged by readers are corrected, not argued with. Every claim about payout speeds, bonus terms or game behaviour is based on first-hand testing, not press releases or marketing materials provided by the operator.

Focus areas

Slots mechanics and RTP verification, live dealer tables, deposit and withdrawal rails, bonus term analysis, and the practical side of responsible play — limits, timeouts and self-exclusion. Olivia also tracks the evolving landscape of online gambling regulation in Kenya and East Africa to ensure the information on this site stays accurate and relevant for local players.
