Who’s Igor?
Igor is TCW’s full stack developer; the man responsible for making the site function as it should. He works with the gamblers side of the site (frontend) as well as with its software (backend), making the clock tick and helping to create the well-oiled machine that the site was always envisioned to be.
As an official member of the team since 2022, it is no coincidence that the site’s design and overall loading times have both improved. His ability to turn problems into opportunities, on a developmental level, make Igor a valuable team member that has surely joined the TCW family for good.

No one was surprised to see how well Igor’s contributions got implemented into the Casino Wizard website. His skills are fantastic, and his ability to make the best of what he has is the main reason why he’s so highly regarded by the other members of the team.

A Cog to Bolster Growth
The current state in which you see The Casino Wizard, visually and technically speaking, is mostly thanks to the work that Igor has put into the site. Igor’s contributions are not only technical, either – he’s greatly contributed to the way the team looks at the site, helping it become the best version of itself: the one that you see today!
A Q&A with Igor, Our Full-Stack Developer
What would you say is the most challenging part of being a developer for The Casino Wizard?
The most challenging part of being a developer for The Casino Wizard is balancing the dynamic nature of the iGaming industry with the technical demands of the platform. New casinos and bonuses are added very frequently and I am responsible for the website performing to the best of its capabilities regardless of how much new content is added to it..
How do you ensure the platform remains user-friendly and accessible to a global audience?
I focus on clean, intuitive design and rigorous testing. The site is built with responsive layouts that adapt to all devices and screen sizes, ensuring a seamless experience for desktop and mobile users alike. I also prioritize localization, such as optimizing content for different languages and regions, and compliance with web accessibility standards like WCAG.
What’s a feature you’re particularly proud of developing for The Casino Wizard?
The latest website design and the way we implemented tables into the platform has to be the best thing we’ve done at The Casino Wizard. Building it involved working closely with the team to identify key metrics and implementing a flexible backend system that updates automatically as we change the metadata in the backend.
What steps do you take to optimize the site’s performance and loading times?
Optimizing performance and loading times is a top priority for The Casino Wizard. I employ techniques like lazy loading for images, minifying CSS and JavaScript files, and implementing a robust content delivery network (CDN) to reduce latency. Sounds technical, I know; but that’s why the platform performs at the top of its game.
Are there any features or tools you’re excited to develop for the platform?
I always look forward to the new website redesigns. They are a bit challenging to implement and involve a lot of trial and error, but I thoroughly enjoy putting my skills to the test by attempting to change what is already there. Trying to bring Matt and Klass’ vision into life is sometimes difficult, but always rewarding to pull.
