Malin Engdahl has spent the last decade writing and editing content across Swedish and English markets, covering everything from serious editorial to the kind of stuff that actually gets read. She's also a self-confessed gambling nerd (slots, odds, the whole circus), so when CasinoStreamers landed on her desk she wasn't exactly complaining. She's been around long enough to know her stuff, and genuinely enjoys writing about it.
