About Axel
Axel entered the iGaming industry in 2025 with Buzz Tap Betting, having prior experience with slots, sports betting and card games, this new generation of casino games has reignited his excitement for gambling. Moving on from the corporate banking industry, Axel has shifted his focus into helping to create the home of Instant Win Casino Games with the Buzz Tap Betting crew.
Having spent his early years in the casino building relationships with players, providing a quality experience to players and managing different functions and teams within a casino, Axel brings a unique angle with the co-founding of Buzz Tap Betting. The player-first mindset sits at the core of the brand, shaping everything from the way content is written to how the site is structured and navigated. The goal is simple: to create a resource that feels familiar and intuitive to real players, rather than another faceless affiliate website churning out generic game reviews.
Outside of business, Axel is mostly seen somewhere in nature. He's been vlogging his travels around the globe, getting amongst different cultures, exploring history and has been building software apps for web, iOS and Android.
