What is it like to work with Ehsan?
Ehsan is one of our more senior team members and is well respected among the entire team. He’s always open for a good discussion and enjoys spending time with the team. We asked one of our other team members, Numa Jabara, what he thinks of working with his co-worker.
From Numa’s perspective:
"Ehsan is such a knowledgeable guy and I’m very grateful to be working with him! He’s often helped me out and I think his take on the iGaming industry is very refreshing. Even though we’re not working from the same office, we often have catch ups via video calls and chat about anything. The only thing he’s wrong about, is the soccer team he supports! Either way, I think he’s a great addition to the team and I’m glad I get to work with him."

Q&A with Ehsan
How did you get into the iGaming industry?
After I finished both my degrees in my home country, I went on a long trip all throughout Europe. My last stop before heading back to Morocco was Malta. I absolutely loved all the hidden beaches on the island and the Maltese language has roots with the Arabic language, I felt right at home. I decided to extend my trip a little longer, and eventually was able to stay on a working visa when I got a job here in the iGaming industry.
What are your personal favorite 3 casinos?
My number 1 pick would be Lucky Dreams. I choose this one specifically because it has a very captivating and user friendly interface. Lucky Dreams also has one of the larger game portfolios, meaning they have something for every kind of gamer.
My second choice would be AxeCasino. I think they’ve done a great job with combining sports betting and casino gaming - making their casino one of the more versatile platforms out there.
Last but not least is my third pick, Betandyou. This casino deserves my praise especially because of their robust security measures. Additionally, they also have a bunch of gaming options and a wide array of bonuses.
What’s the first thing you check in casino reviews?
I always make sure it’s been written in an informative way. There’s nothing more annoying than reading a review that’s full of unnecessary information. Additionally, readers find it pleasant when they’re not bombarded with one big slab of text. That’s why I make sure the content is split up on proper headings and includes a bunch of lists and tables to make it easier for our readers.
What are your future plans for Habibibet?
This is not only up to me, but I’m hoping to grow Habibibet to new heights! As we navigate the North-African and Middle-Eastern market, I hope readers will look to our site for the best possible advice.
How do you stay up-to-date in this industry?
I tend to read a lot of different news outlets to make sure I stay up to date. My personal favorites are Gambling Insider and World Casino News.
