Biography – Mitchell Saunders
Mitchell Saunders was born and raised in Aberdeen, a North Sea port city in northeast Scotland known for its granite architecture, offshore industry and growing tech scene. As a teenager he divided his free time between strategy-heavy video games, weekend football and experimenting with small comparison sites where he tracked game stats and bonuses. That mix of hobbies gradually pushed him towards data, user experience and explaining complex products in language that ordinary readers can trust. After finishing school in Aberdeen, Mitchell moved to London to continue his education and build a career in digital media. The move to the capital gave him direct access to the UK’s busiest publishing, technology and iGaming hubs, where he specialised in clear, responsible coverage of online slots, mobile casino apps and game features like volatility, RTP and bonus rounds.
Education
- 2010–2013: King’s College London – BA (Hons) Media & Digital Culture. During his undergraduate degree, Mitchell focused on online media, interactive entertainment and how readers actually use guides, reviews and comparison tools. His final-year project examined how slot games present RTP, volatility and feature information, and how this could be communicated more transparently for UK players.
- 2013–2014: London Institute of Digital Marketing – Postgraduate Diploma in Digital Analytics & Content Strategy. At postgraduate level he concentrated on data-driven content, UX writing and trust signals in iGaming. His research included analysing slot interfaces, in-game messages and how different layouts affect player understanding of risk, rewards and safer gambling tools.
