Football Editor & Bookmaker Reviews Lead
Tom Hargreaves
Football writer and bookmaker reviewer: Premier League, Champions League, EFL, and UK-licensed operator testing.
About Tom
Tom heads football coverage and bookmaker reviews at LuckySpire. Premier League, Champions League, and the EFL are his core beats; most of the UK-licensed bookmaker pages on this site have his byline.
His approach on bookmaker reviews: open a real account, fund it with his own money, place a representative spread of bets, and document what actually happens at withdrawal. If a site restricts him after a winning week, that goes in the review too.
