Rafiq Rahman
Lead Casino Reviewer & iGaming Expert
Rafiq has spent 8+ years testing online casinos across South Asia. Before joining elook.org, he worked as a payments analyst at a fintech company in Dhaka, which gives him deep expertise in mobile banking integrations — including BKash, Nagad, and Upay at casino platforms. He personally makes real deposits and withdrawals on every platform he reviews.
About Rafiq
Rafiq was born in Chittagong and has been following the online gambling industry since the early days of cricket betting platforms in Bangladesh. What started as a hobby became a profession — he began writing casino reviews for an English-language blog in 2016, and joined the elook.org team in 2022 as Lead Reviewer.
His primary focus is payment testing. Every casino that appears on elook.org has had a real BKash or Nagad deposit and withdrawal processed by Rafiq or a member of his team. He refuses to publish a review based on publicly available information alone — if a casino's cashier can't be tested, it doesn't get rated.
Rafiq is also known for his strict approach to bonus terms. He reads every line of every T&C document and calculates the real expected value of a bonus before writing his recommendation. He introduced the minimum 2-cons rule at elook.org: every review must identify genuine weaknesses, even for casinos that score highly overall.
How Rafiq Reviews Casinos
License verification first
Before anything else, Rafiq looks up the casino's license number on the issuing authority's public registry. If it's not valid, the review stops there.

He deposits using BKash or Nagad and then requests a withdrawal. Processing time, fees, and any friction are documented with screenshots.
