About Laura

Laura studied psychology with a focus on decision research and has increasingly specialized in gambling behavior in recent years. Her interest lies in why rational people regularly act irrationally when gaming.

At Varynbet, she translates scientific findings on topics like near-miss effects, variable reward and cognitive biases into clear, practical articles.

Responsible gambling is a core concern for her: Laura regularly writes about self-imposed limits, warning signs, and practical rituals that turn pure entertainment back into mindful play.

She's convinced that the biggest problems in gaming rarely come down to a lack of knowledge – but to uncontrolled emotions and stubborn myths that persist for years.

Laura works closely with Varynbet's player protection team to translate behavioral psychology insights into concrete product features like self-imposed limits and reality checks.

She regularly speaks on healthy gaming behavior and stays in touch with counseling services on current developments in the German market.
