Written clearly. Checked properly.
For six years I have been writing about online casinos in Austria: the market, its rules and the technology behind it.
Profile
Studied politics, wrote about tech, now explains casinos
I studied political science and then political communication at the University of Vienna. That is where I learned how rules come about, who writes them and how to explain them clearly.
After that I worked as a freelance writer for technology media in Vienna, and taught English as a foreign language on the side. Both taught me to say complicated things simply.
For six years I have been a Content Writer at Casino.at, covering the Austrian market: which operators there are, which rules apply and what that means for players.
Topics
Five fields I write about.
Austria's online casino market

Away from the desk
Cross-country skiing and political philosophy
In winter I am on the cross-country trails as often as I can. It is steady, quiet and honest: you only get as far as you push yourself.
The rest of the time I read political philosophy, preferably the classics. They remind me that every rule needs a reason, gambling rules included.
A question about the Austrian market?
Write to me. I read every message and reply when I can.
