About

Vera writes the psychology and responsible-play material on this site. The subjects are well studied outside gambling as well as inside it — reward prediction error, the near-miss effect, time distortion during absorbed play — and the sources here are published overviews of that literature together with regulator publications. Claims requiring access nobody has are left out rather than estimated. This is an editorial byline on an affiliate site, not a job at a casino.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Vera Morel a licensed psychologist?

No. This is an editorial byline on an affiliate site, not a clinical credential. The articles summarise published research rather than offering assessment or treatment, and anyone who needs the latter should go to a qualified service rather than a casino review page.

What do these articles cover?

The documented mechanisms behind session design: sound as a reward marker, near-misses, loss chasing and the tools that interrupt them — all from published sources.

How is this supposed to help a player?

Knowing a mechanism does not switch it off, and articles claiming otherwise oversell themselves. What changes is attribution: recognising a designed state as designed is what lets a limit set in advance survive contact with a good run.
