ARAbout Karim
Karim Farouk is a Cairo-based iGaming analyst and the lead reviewer at Casino Review Egypt. Over the past decade he has tested hundreds of online casinos and sportsbooks, with a particular focus on the markets and payment methods that matter to players in Egypt and the wider MENA region.
He began his career on the operator side, working in payments and customer operations for a licensed gaming group, where he learned first-hand how deposits, withdrawals, KYC checks and bonus systems really work behind the scenes. That experience is why his reviews go beyond the marketing: he opens a real account, deposits real money, plays, and cashes out - documenting every step, timing and hurdle along the way.
Karim is a strong advocate for player safety and responsible gambling. He will not recommend a casino that is unlicensed, slow to pay, or unclear about its terms, no matter how large the bonus. His goal is simple: help Egyptian players find safe, fair and genuinely rewarding places to play.

How Karim Reviews Casinos
Every casino is scored on a 10-point scale across six weighted criteria: licensing and security, bonuses, game selection, payments, mobile experience and customer support. Karim funds a real account, tests deposits and withdrawals across multiple methods, contacts support with genuine questions, and re-checks each listing regularly so bonuses, licences and payout times stay accurate.
