Aryan at a Glance
About Aryan
Aryan May is the founder and lead analyst at StroudGreenFestival, a platform built specifically to help UK players navigate the world of credit card casinos with confidence. With more than seven years of direct experience across the iGaming and fintech sectors, Aryan brings a rare combination of payment processing knowledge and player-side perspective to every review he writes.
Before launching StroudGreenFestival in 2022, Aryan worked as a payments integration consultant for several online gambling operators, where he gained firsthand insight into how Visa and Mastercard transactions are routed, why certain deposits get declined, and what separates a genuinely reliable credit card casino from one that simply claims to accept cards. That technical grounding is what makes his analysis stand apart from typical affiliate content.
Aryan personally deposits at every casino featured on the site. He tests whether card payments trigger cash advance fees, checks bonus eligibility for credit card users, tracks withdrawal timelines, and documents any friction along the way. Nothing gets published without real-money verification.
Too many players get burned by casinos that advertise credit card support but bury the complications in fine print. My job is to cut through that noise — test the deposits myself, read every bonus term, and only recommend sites where I'd happily use my own card.
