Q&A With Clara McKenzie
How do you define your role as a Fact Checker at LiveCasinoRank?
I verify claims across various platforms, confirm payout reports, and document live casino operations to ensure total accuracy. My goal is to make reviews and listings reliable for both readers in the Philippines and casino operators.
How do you assess live dealer integrity during your checks?
I monitor multiple live sessions from providers like Evolution Gaming and Playtech, noting dealer behavior and game round logs. I compare outcomes against expected RNG and house rules. If anything looks inconsistent, I escalate the case for a technical review and request raw session data.
What’s your typical process when verifying a disputed casino claim?
I trace the original source, cross-check with platform logs or live recordings, and contact operators for clarification. Every correction is documented so readers can see exactly how a conclusion was reached regarding the site's legitimacy.
Which sources or tools do you rely on most for fact-checking?
I use platform-provided logs, recorded live feeds, regulatory filings, and direct operator correspondence. Third-party testing lab reports and payment records from providers like GCash and Maya are also essential for verifying that payouts are processed correctly.
