Marianna Pozharskaya is a senior international correspondent at Casinoz, with the project since 2010: she started as an international correspondent and over time expanded her specialization to become senior correspondent of the editorial team. She covers events in the global gambling industry: regulatory decisions and hearings, statements from top executives of the largest operators, materials from major international conferences (ICE London, iGB Live!, SiGMA). By education she is a journalist — she graduated from the Faculty of Journalism at Saint Petersburg State University.

Unlike the internal news feed, the focus of her work is on the international picture of the industry: what UK regulators say at parliamentary hearings about gambling, what positions European finance ministries take in discussions about online gambling, how top executives of public companies react to legislative changes in different countries. These materials give Casinoz readers context: behind every fine or new rule there is a political position that will define what happens to the industry next.

She regularly works with English and European sources: transcripts of parliamentary hearings, official regulator statements, corporate press conferences, presentations at industry events. She often attends major international industry exhibitions, where she can communicate directly with market participants and regulators. This gives the Casinoz editorial team a first-hand source for materials from the international arena.
