Biography
Priya builds and maintains the numbers: the timed withdrawal log, the foreign-exchange spread measurements taken at each cashier, the KYC turnaround dataset and the support response times. If a figure appears on this site, Priya can state the sample size behind it and the week it was collected. They are also the reason we stopped listing POLi as a live casino deposit option when it stopped being one.

Editorial approach
Priya Raman 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. Priya does not accept operator input on drafts and does not write outside the beat above.
