Crypto & payments writer · Prague · 18+Elena Novák covers cryptocurrency gambling and the practical realities of paying with digital assets. She came to iGaming from fintech, where she worked on payments compliance, and she is unusually blunt about what "no-KYC" really means once you try to withdraw.
She tests deposits across several coins, times the withdrawals, and explains the trade-offs — volatility, fees and verification triggers — that the marketing tends to skip.
She follows the Tutbury Guides method: every operator is funded with real money and taken through at least two withdrawals before it is ranked, and her write-ups say plainly where the risks sit for UK players using sites licensed outside the UK Gambling Commission.
