Q&A With Clara McKenzie

What is your primary role as a Fact Checker at LiveCasinoRank?

I verify platform claims, audit payout reports, and document live casino operations to ensure total accuracy. My goal is to make reviews and casino listings reliable for both players in India and industry operators.

How do you assess live dealer integrity during your checks?

I monitor multiple live sessions, observing dealer behavior and game round logs while comparing outcomes against expected house rules. If I spot any inconsistency, I escalate the case for a technical review and request raw session data from providers like Evolution Gaming or Playtech.

How do you verify a disputed claim regarding a casino?

I trace the original source, cross-check platform logs or live session recordings, and contact operators directly for clarification. Every correction is documented so readers can see exactly how a conclusion was reached.

Which tools do you use to verify payouts and game fairness?

I rely on platform logs, recorded live feeds, and direct correspondence with operators. To verify payouts for Indian users, I check records from providers like UPI, PhonePe, and Netbanking, alongside reports from third-party testing labs.
