Who Is Borna Valent?

Borna Valent is the CEO and Co-Founder of Chase the Scatter, one of the fastest-growing independent slot review platforms in the iGaming industry. A former professional tennis player, Borna transitioned into the casino sector over a decade ago and has since built deep expertise across slot mechanics, game providers, casino operations, and affiliate marketing.

With more than 10 years of hands-on experience in the gaming industry β€” including operator roles at NOVOMATIC and Stanleybet Group β€” Borna brings a rare combination of operational knowledge and player-first perspective to every review published on the platform.

Industry Experience

Borna's journey in the gaming world started on the operator side, where he spent over 6 years working directly with players, managing operations, and understanding the inner workings of both land-based and online casinos. This frontline experience shaped his ability to evaluate games and platforms from both the operator and the player perspective.

Before founding Chase the Scatter, Borna co-founded Spinaspin, an online casino affiliate platform featuring over 750+ free demo slots and in-depth game reviews. Under his leadership, the platform secured partnerships with industry-leading providers including Pragmatic Play, BGaming, Hacksaw Gaming, Push Gaming, Nolimit City, ELK Studios, and many more.

Borna also has hands-on experience in the Web3 gaming space, having raised $700K in pre-seed funding through community building β€” giving him a unique understanding of crypto gaming ecosystems and player-driven communities. This background is especially relevant as Chase the Scatter covers crypto-friendly casinos alongside traditional online platforms.

Building Chase the Scatter

Launched in August 2024, Chase the Scatter reached 1,000+ organic clicks within just 4 months and surpassed 1,500 monthly organic clicks by December 2024. The platform has published over 444 in-depth slot reviews and continues to grow rapidly.

Under Borna's editorial direction, the site focuses on what matters most to players: RTP, volatility, max win potential, bonus mechanics, and honest ratings β€” free from affiliate bias or paid influence. Every review reflects real research, hands-on analysis, and genuine expertise built over years in the industry.

Review Philosophy

Borna believes that trust is the foundation of a great review platform. At Chase the Scatter, reviews are never influenced by commercial relationships. Rankings are based on real gameplay, feature quality, mathematical models, and player value β€” not on who pays the highest commission.

This commitment to independence has earned the platform a loyal readership and strong relationships with providers who value honest feedback over paid placements.
