Senior Crypto Casino Analyst & iGaming Specialist · Malta, EU

What we cover

Mark Thornton is a Malta-based iGaming professional with over six years of experience managing affiliate programmes for major crypto casino operators. Before founding his analysis work at RushLayer, Mark held senior affiliate management roles across MGA and Curaçao-licensed operators — giving him direct, operator-side knowledge of withdrawal processes, KYC compliance, bonus structures, and licensing frameworks that most affiliate writers lack. His reviews are based on firsthand testing: real deposits, real withdrawals, real support interactions. Mark holds crypto assets and participates actively in the markets he covers, ensuring RushLayer's content reflects genuine experience rather than rephrased operator specs. He focuses on what players actually need to know: how fast sites pay out, where KYC friction appears, and which operators have the track record to trust.
