Ryan Kowalski
Online Casino Analyst · Denver, CO
About Ryan
Ryan grew up in Aurora, Colorado, the middle child in a Polish-American household. He studied computer science at CU Boulder and spent most of his free time analyzing probability and game theory. After graduating, he landed a data analyst role at a fintech startup in the Denver Tech Center. By 2020, he was deep into online gaming platforms, comparing payout speeds and security standards across dozens of casinos. When he realized most review sites were either paid placements or completely outdated, he started documenting which platforms actually delivered safe, reliable experiences. What began as a personal spreadsheet turned into The Box Score. Now Ryan spends his evenings testing deposits and withdrawals, verifying licensing, and rating platforms on their security and fairness. When he's not at his dual-monitor setup, you'll find him snowboarding at Loveland Pass, grabbing craft beers in RiNo, or walking his rescue husky, Kodiak, along Cherry Creek Trail.
Review Methodology
Ryan's reviews focus heavily on the security and payout reliability of each platform. He deposits real money, measures processing times to the second, tests withdrawal speeds, and evaluates whether bonus wagering requirements are actually achievable for regular players.
Every casino on The Box Score has been personally tested by Ryan. If a platform does not meet his standards for speed, security, and fairness, it does not make the list.
