GHZD, formerly known as Gry Hazardowe Za Darmo, is a Polish online platform that specializes in providing reviews of gambling games, online casinos, and casino bonuses. The company is headquartered in Lublin, Poland. GHZD aims to offer trustworthy information, including slot machine analyses and access to free demo versions of games, targeting online gambling enthusiasts.[1]
History
The platform was officially launched in April 2016 under the name Gry Hazardowe Za Darmo. From its inception, the website focused on delivering slot reviews, analyses of casino bonuses, and practical advice for players. Emiliana Rostowicz was appointed Editor-in-Chief in 2016, shaping the platform's content with a commitment to transparency and ethical gaming.
In June 2017, the editorial team was expanded to include new authors, enabling a wider range of game reviews and news from the gaming industry.
A significant development occurred in February 2019 with the implementation of an upgraded system for testing free slot games, which no longer requires user registration. This feature enabled players to try popular titles and view associated bonus offers conveniently. Around this time, the founders began to specialize their roles: Tadeusz Merkator focused on expert-level slot reviews and the expansion of the slot game department. Emiliana Rostowicz took charge of bonus management and affiliate relations, while both continued to co-lead the company's overall strategy. Tadeusz Merkator formally joined as the lead editorial expert on slot machines in 2019, authoring numerous in-depth articles and reviews.
The website's layout underwent a modernization in August 2022, which included improvements to navigation with the addition of subcategories and a refined user interface (UI) design.
In September 2024, Gry Hazardowe Za Darmo officially rebranded to GHZD. This change to a shorter, more internationally recognizable name was intended to streamline communication, particularly on social media, and enhance the brand's visibility in international markets.
As of 2022, Emiliana Rostowicz continues to oversee all bonus-related matters and manages operational partnerships with online casinos. Tadeusz Merkator ensures the high quality of reviews and maintains editorial standards. Both founders co-decide on strategic developments.
Operations
GHZD's core activities include:
- Gambling Game Reviews: Primarily focusing on online slots, but also covering classic table games and other casino content.
- Bonus Analysis: Providing comparisons and in-depth analyses of casino bonus offers, such as free spins and no-deposit bonuses.
- Guides and Educational Articles: Offering tips on responsible gaming, advice for selecting online casinos, and basic game strategies.
- Casino Reviews: Publishing detailed evaluations of online gambling platforms, assessing their game selection, customer support quality, security measures, and bonus offerings.
The platform emphasizes responsible gaming by providing users with tips for managing spending and information on self-control tools available at online casinos. GHZD is committed to promoting safe gambling practices.
Key partners for GHZD include online casinos, which participate in affiliate marketing programs, and slot developers like Pragmatic Play, Novomatic, and NetEnt, who provide demo games and promotional materials.
GHZD is a self-financed project and has grown organically without external funding or investors.
Target audience
While Poland is the home market and primary user base for GHZD, the platform also serves a significant Polish-speaking community in Germany. Additionally, there is an active interest from users in the Czech Republic who seek similar bonus offers and Polish-language content related to online gambling. Following its 2024 rebranding, GHZD aims to increase its visibility in broader international markets.
Recognition
GHZD has not received formal industry awards but reports high user satisfaction scores, consistently around 9.5/10, in informal online rankings and forums focused on online casinos and slots.
The platform has received a seal of approval from the Gaming Portal Webmasters Association (GPWA). According to GHZD, this signifies adherence to high ethical standards, independent operation from the gambling sites it reviews, respect for copyright, avoidance of spam and malicious SEO techniques, and professional conduct. Emiliana Rostowicz is also a GPWA-approved member.
Company structure
GHZD operates from a single office located at Kościuszki 4, 20-006 Lublin, Poland. The company has a total of 8 employees, which includes the two founders.
