Fact-checker, financial expert. editor and writer.
Writing began as a school hobby, but I initially pursued a career in finance. My passion for storytelling persisted, leading me to study journalism and launch a freelance career. My lifestyle requires a flexible schedule, and writing is exactly what suits me best. For over a decade, I’ve worked on diverse projects, from articles to creative content, honing my craft across various platforms. I am quite familiar with the subject of gambling, as finance plays a key role in this industry.
Profile of Scott Parpe, fact-checker, gambling, and financial writer for Online Casinos Australia.
Experience
I have been writing for over 20 years, including 13 years at a professional level.
The main topics are finance, iGaming, e-sports, and social research.
Motivation
People need to be financially literate. They need to be able to manage their money and understand global economic processes. I always wanted to help them with that.
Preferences
Guides, analytical articles, information checking
Working approach
I am in the habit of first checking information, then double-checking it, and then comparing it with other sources. Only then do I use it in my articles.
Hobbies
Video games, long-distance running, sci-fi. Creating memes.
Favourite movie/TV series/cartoon/anime/song about gambling or mentioning casinos/games
There is a simply brilliant filler episode in the Stargate spin-off. In a parallel universe, the main character plays poker with Wraith (a representative of a hostile alien race).
