Background & Professional Experience
Philippe has been active in the online gambling industry since 2011, with a career that bridges SEO expertise, a deep passion for sports betting and online casinos and a strong personal commitment to player protection.
His journey with LadyLucks began during its transition from a real-money casino into a trusted casino affiliate site focused on fair play, transparency, and safer gambling.
Though not academically trained in psychology or public health, Philippe has been directly involved in responsible gambling programmes, the development of educational content, and the evaluation of player safety tools. He works closely with regulatory best practices (including UKGC and MGA standards) to ensure the platform provides clear, helpful, and player-first content.
Today, Philippe is the Responsible Gambling Advocate and Head of Content at LadyLucks. He oversees editorial quality while creating content that empowers players to gamble responsibly—without losing the fun or excitement of the game.
What Philippe Covers on LadyLucks
As one of the key contributors to LadyLucks, Philippe produces and oversees content in areas such as:
- Responsible Gambling Guides & Player Safety Tools
Covering deposit limits, timeouts, self-exclusion, and how to recognise risky behaviours. - Casino & Slot Reviews
With an emphasis on transparency, licensing, payout reliability, and usability. - Gambling News & Market Regulation
Interpreting updates from UKGC, MGA, and global markets to keep players informed. - Educational Guides & Awareness Content

Writing Approach
Philippe’s approach to content creation is rooted in empathy and lived experience. As a player himself, he understands the emotional highs and lows of online gambling—and the subtle signs that something might be going too far. His aim is to support players, not lecture them.
His writing is:
- Clear and practical – Easy to understand, even for beginners.
- Empathetic and non-judgemental – Recognising that every player’s journey is different.
- Backed by experience – Informed by real gameplay, not just research.
Personal Experience
Philippe placed his first online bets in the early 2000s, mainly on football, his lifelong passion. He supports both Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United since the 90s, and still enjoys a casual bet now and then—always with control and moderation in mind.
Earlier in his journey, Philippe went through a phase of chasing losses and relying on "expert tips" for sports he didn’t actually follow. That experience became a wake-up call and laid the foundation for his dedication to responsible gambling awareness.
The Advocate for Safer Play
Philippe is not just the head of LadyLucks—he’s its moral compass. He combines his love for football and gambling with a firm belief in transparency, self-awareness, and harm prevention.
If you’re looking for content that respects your time, your intelligence, and your well-being as a player, Philippe’s voice is one you can trust.
A Word From Philippe
"Before LadyLucks became what it is today, I was trying to ‘optimise’ my bets by following random advice on sports I didn’t even watch. It didn’t take long to realise how dangerous that mindset can be. That experience helped me shift my focus—and today, I write content to help others avoid the same traps, while still enjoying the thrill of the game."
