Gunnel Henriksson

Editorial background

Gunnel Henriksson moved into iGaming journalism from consumer reporting, where the habit of reading the small print before writing the headline was already second nature. She has spent her career covering online casino topics for readers in Sweden, and that market shapes how she works: Swedish players expect clear licensing, clean payout routes and terms written in language they can actually check.

Her coverage of Arctic Casino rests on hands-on account use rather than press material. She registers, deposits, plays, requests a withdrawal and completes verification herself, then writes from what the account actually did. Marketing copy supplied by an operator is treated as a claim to be tested, never as a source.

Areas of expertise

Gunnel focuses on the parts of a casino that decide whether a player walks away satisfied:

• Bonus terms and wagering maths — what a 35x requirement means in real turnover, and how a maximum bet of €5 per spin limits the way a bonus can be cleared.
• Payments, KYC and withdrawals — which methods work for deposits, which are available for cashing out, and why identity verification is required before a first withdrawal.
• Game libraries — slots and live tables across studios such as Pragmatic Play, Play'n GO, Hacksaw Gaming, NetEnt, Nolimit City and Evolution Gaming.
• Licensing and player protection — what a Malta Gaming Authority licence covers and what it does not.
• Loyalty and cashback mechanics — how levels, cashback percentages and limits translate into value over time.

What she covers at Arctic Casino

At Arctic Casino, Gunnel reads the welcome offer conditions line by line: the 100% match up to €500, the alternative of 10 Super Spins on Crystal Caverns Megaways, the separate live casino offer, and the €10 minimum first deposit attached to them. She maps the payment table in both directions, since the deposit list and the withdrawal list are not identical. She walks through the Arctic Elite loyalty programme — 100 levels, instant cashback reaching €10,000 at the top — and works through the lobby, which spans thousands of titles, to see how the catalogue holds up beyond the front page.

Editorial approach and standards

Every number she publishes is verified against the operator's own terms before it appears. Wagering requirements, bet caps, withdrawal ceilings and fee conditions are stated openly rather than buried, and pages are revisited and updated when conditions change. Licence details — including the MGA registration held by Arctic Casino — are named so readers can confirm them independently.

Responsible gambling stays visible throughout: deposit limits, session limits, cool-off periods and self-exclusion are part of the coverage, not a footnote. In 2026 as before, she writes for adults over 18 making an informed choice, not for hype.
