Q&A With Clara McKenzie

How do you define your role as a Fact Checker at LiveCasinoRank?

I verify claims across platforms, confirm payout reports, and document live casino operations to ensure accuracy. My goal is to make reviews and listings reliable for readers and operators alike.

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 how the conclusion was reached.

How do you assess live dealer integrity during checks?

I monitor multiple live sessions, note dealer behavior and game round logs, and compare outcomes against expected RNG/house rules. If anything looks inconsistent, I escalate for technical review and request raw session data.

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 provider records are also key for verifying payouts.
