About me

Hi, my name is Jake Saarijärvi, an ex-high school physics and mathematics teacher from Finland. Jake is not my real name, as I want to keep some privacy. Pictures of me are real though.

I started following the development of Bitcoin in 2013, and I bought my first Bitcoins in 2015 when BTC was about 200€. Later on, I needed some money and I sold most of them for the price of 400€. Turned out that wasn’t so wise decision.

I also founded my first crypto casino review site in 2015, which became quite popular at the time. After running it full time for years after I decided to sell my review site away in 2020.

It’s me, Jake!

After that, I took a long break from everything. I just needed to rest. Play PUBG. Exercise. Do a lot of other things I’ve always wanted to do but never had the time.

I’m back

Crypto casinos have developed a lot during the years I was away (around 2020-2026). Also, casino reviews are totally different these days, as it is so easy to create review sites and content with AI. Unfortunately for readers, this creates a problem. Which sites are really trustworthy?

That led me to think, that there could be a lot of demand for human-made, trustworthy and objective crypto casino reviews.

So in 2026, I am back with my new, even better crypto casino review site, Jake’s Crypto Casinos.

I love science and facts. The scientific way is also my method in reviewing crypto casinos as I have a strong science background. I research casinos for you, so you can make a better choice in deciding where to play next.

On my site, you get what you see. Crypto casinos. Reviewed by me. That’s why the domain is also what it is. Simple and informative: jakescryptocasinos.com.

Reviewing is very serious business. Not sponsored by Polaroid.

AI disclosure

Yes, I am a techy person and I love new tech and gadgets. But on my site, no AI is used on the content and reviews. Not now, not in the future.

Everything you see here is written, designed and thought through by me. Read more about the AI disclosure.

Affiliate disclosure

This website is my full time job and I use at least 6 hours a day each day developing this site and writing new reviews.

I need some money to cover my living costs, so that’s why this website has affiliate links. If you go to the casinos using those links, I may make money from the affiliate income. However, that hasn’t got any effect on the review outcomes. They will always stay 100% objective and non-biased.

My expertise and history in crypto & casinos

My first encounter with Bitcoin was in 2013 and I bought my first Bitcoins in 2015 when the price was around 200 € / BTC. To be honest I needed some money and sold most of them away for around 400 € / BTC, which was probably the dumbest thing I have ever done. Still today, I am following the cryptocurrency scene daily and I am a long-term Bitcoin & Ethereum hodler.
As a mathematical person, I started playing online poker around 2006 or 2007, which was great fun back then. Through poker, I also found online gambling and slots. Soon around 2015, I found out that you can gamble online using cryptocurrencies and there are provably fair games, which was very interesting.
I founded my first crypto casino review site in 2015 and it was my full-time job from 2018 onwards. In 2020 I decided to sell the site to a bigger company as I wanted to focus on something else.
I have a Master’s Degree in Physics from Finnish University, with a minors in Mathematics, Chemistry, and Pedagogical Studies. I believe in using a scientific method to review everything, including crypto casinos. My goal is to thoroughly test, analyze, and review these casinos, making it easier for you to choose the right one.

PS. I don’t track you in any way

I am not a big fan of the recent state of internet, where everything is tracked and optimized to the maximum. I do things differently on my site.

You are anonymous here. I do not know who you are. I only use Plausible Analytics, which uses no cookies and collects no personal data.
No big companies tracking you. There are absolutely zero Google Analytics scripts, Facebook Pixels running, or heatmaps tracking your mouse moves on this site.
No cookie banner. Because I don’t use tracking cookies, I don’t need to use a cookie consent pop up by EU privacy rules.
Transparency: This is an affiliate site. If you click a link to a casino, they most probably will track you.

I will keep this promise now, and also in the future. Read more about my privacy commitment here.

Cheers,
Jake
