Jordan Whitcombe [September 2026]: Editor-in-Chief at outofthewoods.co.nz
Runs the withdrawal-timing programme and signs off every ranking on this site.
Biography
Jordan has worked in and around online gambling since 2013, first in payments operations at a Malta-licensed operator and, since 2019, as a reviewer.

Their standing rule for this masthead is simple: if we have not tested it, we do not claim it.

Editorial approach
Jordan Whitcombe works to the standards set out on our methodology page: published weights, evidence collected first-hand, sample sizes attached to every measured figure, and a second editor fact-checking before publication. Jordan does not accept operator input on drafts and does not write outside the beat above.
