Tomek Fikas – Strategy and SEO
Tomek started his online gambling journey in 2014, when he joined an up-and-coming payment provider named Trustly. He was then working with customer service support for Trustlys merchants and customers. But only after 6 months did he switch sides to the online gambling giant Mr. Green as an account manager. The rest is history, as they say.
Tomek followed the online gambling path in various roles, leaning more toward site strategy, content and SEO. He started his first company in 2019, helping online casinos and affiliate websites with SEO. Tomek firmly believes in “content is king” and in making the user journey as smooth as possible, which he does for us at Casino Owls today.

Why We Decided To Write About Best Online Casinos
The gambling industry has seen a lot of changes in recent years. One of the most noticeable trends is the rise of online casinos, which offer players a convenient and exciting way to enjoy their favorite games.
However, we noticed that many articles claiming to list the “best online casinos” are often misleading. They frequently consist of affiliate links disguised as objective guides, which can make it difficult for players to find reliable information.
That’s why we decided to start casinoowls.com. Our goal is to provide you with the facts about the best online casinos, ensuring you have the information you need to make an informed decision about where to play.
Affiliate Disclosure
We are an independent website and are not owned by any of the companies listed on our site. We are supported by affiliate commissions that we receive from some of the casinos when players sign up through our links.
This does not affect our ability to be 100% impartial in our reviews and recommendations. We take no commission from casinos for listing them on our site and do not receive any special treatment.
The only way we make money is if players sign up through our links and then go on to make a deposit at the casino. This doesn’t cost you anything extra, but it helps us to keep the lights on and pay our team of writers.
So if you find our site helpful and want to support us, we would really appreciate it if you could use our links when signing up at a casino!
Responsible Gambling
We believe that gambling should be a fun and enjoyable activity. But we also understand that it can be addictive, and some people can develop problems.
If you think you might have a gambling problem, we urge you to get help. There are many organisations that offer support and advice, such as Gamblers Anonymous, GamCare, and Gamble Aware.
We also encourage you to set your own limits and stick to them. Never gamble with more money than you can afford to lose, and never chase your losses.
