Tom Whitfield

Responsible gambling and player-safety editor

Leeds, United Kingdom · 8 years' experience · tom@gamblingchiefs.com

Tom volunteered on a gambling support helpline for three years before joining the industry side, and now leads Gambling Chiefs's player-safety coverage.

He audits each operator's deposit limits, loss limits, reality checks, cool-off and self-exclusion flows by using them on live accounts, and records how many clicks and how long each control takes to apply.

Tom also owns our responsible gambling pages, GAMSTOP and US state self-exclusion explainers, and the support signposting shown on every review.
