Who I am
I am Conor Brennan, and I have been funding casino and sportsbook test sessions with my own money since 2024. Before MrMega, I bet on football and racing the way most UK punters do: Saturday accumulator, loose grasp of the maths, occasional chase of a losing weekend. Now I do it systematically. £200 session bankroll, UK-licensed operators only, every deposit and withdrawal measured, every bet logged.
I write the way I talk. Honest about the wins, honest about the losses, and never pretending I know something I have not tested. My stake limit is £200 per session. My rule is never to recommend a bookmaker or casino I have not funded with my own money. My other rule is to set a deposit limit before I open the app. I break the first rule sometimes. I never break the second.
Why I started MrMega
I got tired of reading casino reviews that were clearly written by someone who had never deposited a pound. The same template paragraphs, the same generic claims about “fast withdrawals” and “great support,” the same affiliate links dressed up as editorial opinion. The affiliate model is not the problem. The problem is writing reviews without testing what you are reviewing.
MrMega exists because I wanted to read a casino review site where every page was backed by a specific funded session. Not a demo account. Not a press login. Not a summary of the operator’s marketing page. A real deposit, a real play, a real withdrawal. If I cannot provide that, I tell you I cannot provide it and I only publish what is publicly verifiable.
How I work
I fund a session. I keep a notebook. I write from the notebook. Ernest Bowes fact-checks every licence number, operator entity, Trustpilot citation, and regulatory reference. The page goes up, with both our names on it.
I test against six criteria, laid out in full on the How I Rate page. For casinos: licence, withdrawal speed, game quality, bonus honesty, support response, and responsible gambling tools. For sportsbooks: odds margin, cash-out reliability, in-play depth, withdrawal speed, live streaming, and promotions discipline. The criteria are simple because the things that protect your money are simple.
I cover the UK market only. All reviews assume a UK player using pounds sterling, protected by UKGC licensing and GAMSTOP. I do not write for other markets and I do not quote non-UK regulators.
What MrMega is not
- Not an operator. MrMega does not take deposits, host games, or process withdrawals. Every link to a casino or sportsbook takes you to the operator’s own site, where you deal with them directly.
- Not a tipster. I do not tell you what to bet on. I tell you which sportsbooks and casinos I have tested, what I found, and whether I would go back. The bet itself is yours.
- Not a bonus aggregator. I do not list every welcome offer on the market. I test a shortlist of UK-licensed brands and write about the ones where the bonus terms are honest and the withdrawal worked. A big bonus with predatory terms does not make my list.
The team
Conor Brennan writes the reviews and guides. UK-based, funding test sessions since 2024, stake limit £200 per session. Football, horse racing, blackjack, and a soft spot for Crazy Time. Read more about Conor.
Ernest Bowes fact-checks every page. UKGC register verification, operator entity confirmation, Trustpilot date-stamping, regulatory compliance. If a licence number appears on MrMega, Ernest has checked it. Read more about Ernest.
What MrMega is, and what it is not
MrMega is a one-person testing operation with a fact-checker. It is not a media company, not a review aggregator, and not a platform. The bylines are real people. The session data is real session data. The Pattern B pages are honestly labelled at the top. I do not accept payment for placement, I do not sell review scores, and I do not let operators review or approve content before it goes live. The editorial independence is not a marketing claim. It is the product.
If you see something on a MrMega page that does not match your own experience at a brand I have reviewed, tell me. The contact form is on every page. I will not change a review because an operator asks me to, but I will correct a factual error if you can point me to the primary source that contradicts what I have written. That is the deal: I publish what I measure, and I fix what I get wrong.
Contact
The contact form is at the bottom of every page. Use it for corrections, questions, or if you have funded a session at a brand I have not tested yet and want to share what you found. Ernest and I read everything that comes in, even if we cannot reply to every message individually.

Why I started MrMega
I started MrMega because I was tired of casino review sites that had never funded a single account telling me which brands to trust. The UK online casino market has several hundred UKGC-licensed brands, and most of the information available is either operator marketing or affiliate content that rephrases operator marketing. I wanted something different: a site where every review is anchored to a funded session with a specific deposit amount, a specific withdrawal measurement, and an honest account of what worked and what did not. That is MrMega. No operator pays for placement. No brand reviews or approves content before it goes live. What I measure is what I publish.
What you will find on MrMega that you will not find on most casino review sites: a byline on every page that names a real person, a fact-checker who verified the licence numbers and the Trustpilot dates, and a Pattern B label at the top of any page where the session data is not yet in. No anonymous reviews. No “our team of experts” without a name attached. No scores assigned to brands I have not funded. The site is deliberately small and deliberately honest, and that is not going to change as the review queue works through.
