Sports Betting & Asia Markets Editor
Priya covers crypto sports betting and the country guides for South, Southeast and East Asia on Best Bitcoin Casino.
On the sports side she writes the crypto sportsbook hub and the cricket, football and esports pages. She checks which sportsbooks actually show live markets for a sport before listing them, explains how odds formats and settlement rules work, and works through the maths of a bet in crypto, including what happens to the value of a winning stake when the coin moves.
Her country guides cover India, the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan and South Korea. Each one starts with the law: the statute by name and year, the regulator, what is prohibited for operators and for players, recent enforcement, and the tax on gambling winnings and crypto gains. She works from the statute text and regulators' own notices rather than from other gambling sites, and she corrects the common myths those sites repeat, such as calling a country a "grey area" after its courts or parliament have settled the question.
In countries where offshore online gambling is prohibited, her pages are informational only: they explain the rules, the risks and where to find help, and they never tell readers how to get around blocks.
Every page Priya writes lists its sources and is fact-checked by Elena Márquez before it is published.
