Wayne Goodchild
Casino & Sports Betting Expert
15 ArticlesWayne has been writing about iGaming news and sites for several years, with a particular focus on New Zealand casinos. His background includes being an English teacher, and a professionally-published writer/editor for over ten years.
Who Is Wayne?
Wayne has been honing his talents over the last few years by writing, and editing, all kinds of iGaming articles, with a particular focus on UK and New Zealand casinos and sportsbooks.
Wayne’s keen eye for detail and ability to expertly write and edit articles on various topics have made him a much sought-after expert. He has a special affinity for casino games like Keno and Craps but is also an expert on various payment methods at casinos and loves writing about sportsbooks, too. Wayne loves gambling, so he always makes sure to source information he, as a player, would want to read.
As an avid iGaming enthusiast, Wayne always ensures he puts the casinos and sportsbooks he reviews through their paces. He tests them according to strict criteria, including licensing, available bonuses, customer support options and of course, the selection of games. If a site isn’t up to scratch, he’ll tell you so, and why.
Wayne’s mantra is “The only thing better than gambling on a reputable site is having fun while doing it.” He is a vocal advocate for responsible gaming, which is just one of the many reasons Betkiwi was happy to add him to our team.
What Does Wayne Specialise In?
Wayne is our most versatile writer, with years of experience writing about casino games, payment methods, and online sportsbooks.
Table Games
Wayne is our resident expert on all the less-played casino games such as Keno, Craps, and Bingo, but he’s also very knowledgeable about Poker, and has a fair bit of experience with online slots, too. While we may have more dedicated experts, no one on Betkiwi knows as much about as many different casino games.
Casino Payments
Another area of expertise for Wayne is related to all sorts of casino payments. Over the years, Wayne has either personally reviewed or edited tons of casinos, in that time noting how important it is to know all about how various fiat and cryptocurrency payments work, the advantages and disadvantages of each one, the expected turnaround times, fees, and more. Together with Dominic, Wayne is our go-to guy for anything related to casino finances.
Sports Betting
Although he has spent more time writing and editing casino-related topics, Wayne is also a veritable sports fanatic and one of the most knowledgeable people about sports betting on Betkiwi. Whether you’re looking for some football tips, want to know more about the appeal of netball or just need some rugby betting tips, Wayne will be more than happy to give some advice.
