Yulia Chernaya is a veteran reporter at Casinoz. She has been with the project since 2010: she started as a news reporter and over time focused on breaking news in the gambling industry — anything that requires a fast reaction: regulator decisions on licences, operator fines, M&A deals, executive reshuffles in companies, major product releases, and market incidents. By education she is a journalist — she graduated from the Faculty of Journalism at Lomonosov Moscow State University.

In her work, speed and accuracy matter equally. When a major regulator announces a fine or an operator has a payout incident, the Casinoz reader should receive the material right away — not a day later — but with verified facts, references to primary sources, and without journalistic rumour. Over the years, Yulia has built her own network of sources: official regulator publications, corporate press offices, industry forums, and insider channels.

In addition to breaking news, she works on content covering the main jurisdictions of the market: she tracks regulatory changes, legislative initiatives, and regulator audits. She helps the editorial team update operator reviews on time when their licence status changes or when problems arise with a regulator.
