Andreas Ericsson — Founder
Andreas don dey at the forefront of the intersection between blockchain and gaming since 2018. As the founder of NewCryptoCasinos.com — one of the industry earliest dedicated review platforms — he pioneered the term "New Crypto Casinos" at a time when the niche was virtually undocumented.
A History of Firsts
- Metaverse Early Adopter: Andreas led one of the first-ever advertising campaigns in Decentraland, going live on Day 1 of the platform public launch.
- Community Veteran: A long-standing contributor to the Bitcointalk and Reddit communities, he has been tracking "provably fair" mechanics since the early days of Satoshi-era gambling.
- Verified Authority: Andreas is a Blue Badge Verified member of the CoinMarketCap community and a long-time GPWA (Gambling Portal Webmasters Association) approved member, ensuring the highest standards of affiliate integrity.
After a peak era in 2019-2020 with NewCryptoCasinos.com, Andreas launched WagerX.io to continue his mission of providing transparent, expert-led audits of the next generation of Bitcoin casinos. His 7+ years of "in-the-trenches" experience ensures that WagerX readers are not just seeing ads, but are benefiting from nearly a decade of institutional crypto knowledge.
Jenny — Head of Player Advocacy & Dispute Resolution
Jenny is the "Watchdog" of WagerX. Since 2018, she has been an active force alongside Andreas in our Bitcointalk threads, specialising in technical transparency and player rights.
- The Conflict Resolver: Jenny main role is to monitor the industry for player complaints. When a casino is published on WagerX, she holds them accountable.
- Active Mediation: If you get any issue with a site we recommend, Jenny is the one who steps in. She uses our industry connections to resolve unpaid winnings, technical wahala, and KYC disputes directly with the operators.
- Forum Veteran: You can find Jenny (and Andreas) active on Bitcointalk, where they have been building a record of integrity for over 6 years.
Official Channels & Community Safety
At WagerX.io, our success has unfortunately made us a target for impersonators and "copy-cat" accounts. While we see this as a testament to the strength of our brand, your safety is our absolute priority.
To make sure you are interacting with the real WagerX, please note the following:
- Verification of Channels: We only operate through the official social media channels listed below. If you encounter an account claiming to be WagerX on a platform not listed here, that one no be us.
- Zero Direct Outreach for Funds: WagerX team members will never DM you first to ask for deposits, wallet private keys, or "exclusive investment opportunities."
- The "Holding Tank" Scam: Be wary of fake accounts claiming they can "get you out" of a casino holding tank or resolve a dispute for a fee. All our audit and dispute support is handled through our official site and verified channels only.

Our Stance on KYC & Privacy
At WagerX, we no dey pick sides between KYC and No-KYC models. We believe say there is a place for both:
- KYC Casinos offer higher regulatory protection, legal recourse, and often higher betting limits for institutional players.
- No-KYC Casinos offer speed, anonymity, and global accessibility for privacy-conscious players.
The WagerX Rule: We support both, but we no go tolerate any of them if they lie. If a casino markets itself as "Anonymous" but triggers a "Withdrawal Trap" (KYC) the moment you win, they are moved to our Holding Tank. We no dey judge the policy; we judge the transparency.
