Priya Chauhan
Payments editor
I worked in payments operations at a UK high-street bank in Birmingham for twelve years, from card disputes to fraud reviews. I have followed Warwickshire and England cricket all my life and placed my first bet at a shop near Edgbaston. Settle Up brings those two worlds together.
Why money comes first
Most betting reviews focus on odds and offers. I focus on what happens to your money: how quickly it comes back, how your identity is checked and how your account is protected.
How I test
I open real accounts with my own money and make regular withdrawals of different sizes, timing each stage. I test verification, security settings and customer service, and I only cover bookmakers licensed by the Gambling Commission.
Independence
Some links earn a commission. That pays for the testing but never changes a result. If a site is slow to pay, I will say so.
