About Us

This site is run by three Canadians who share two things: a background in economics and a long love of gambling. We started it because casino banners promise instant payouts, while the terms behind them often allow days or weeks. Our job is to read those terms for you and show what they mean for your money. This page explains who we are, how we work and how the site earns money.

How Three Economists Ended Up Reviewing Casinos

We met at a poker night during our university years, long before any of us thought about a website. The game brought us to the table, and the conversation afterwards kept us there. Odds, expected value and the small print of every promotion became our favourite topics.

Studying economics changed the way all three of us looked at casinos. A welcome bonus is a contract with a price, and a payout window is a liquidity term. We kept noticing that the most important numbers sat in clause 6.15 or 8.11, not on the homepage.

That habit of reading the small print slowly turned into this project. We decided to build the review site we wanted as players ourselves. It rates casinos by their own rules, shows limits in Canadian dollars and names every source.

Meet the Team

All three of us are Canadian economists and gambling enthusiasts, and all three of us live in Ontario. Each of us has a clear role, and every page passes through more than one pair of hands.

Alan Smith — Founder and Editor-in-Chief

Alan decides which casinos we review and funds the project from start to finish. He sets the order of our review queue and the standards every review must meet. Funding the site himself keeps the choice of brands in his hands rather than with any casino.

Kent Le Vanski — Lead Writer

Kent writes our reviews, guides and blog articles in English. He checks what he writes against his own experience as a player, from opening an account to requesting a payout. When the terms say one thing and the cashier does another, Kent is usually the first to notice.

Georges Dubois — Editor, French Edition and Reader Support

Georges edits every page before it goes live and keeps our numbers consistent across reviews. He also answers readers who write to our editorial team with a problem at a casino. Georges helps them read the relevant clause and prepare a complaint to the casino. Georges is also responsible for the French version of the site and translates our pages for francophone readers.

We are players first, so we write the way we would want a friend to explain a casino to us. That means plain numbers, honest caveats and no hype about “instant” anything.

How We Review a Casino

We judge payout speed by the documents a casino is bound by, because a banner can change overnight. Every review on this site follows the same four steps.

1. Read the full terms.

   We go through every withdrawal, verification and bonus clause and note the clause numbers.

2. Open the Canadian cashier.

   We record deposit and withdrawal limits per method with the country set to Canada and CAD.

3. Compare outside sources.

   We check what established review sites and complaint platforms report about real payouts.

4. Write it down with sources.

   Every figure on a page links back to the document or review it came from.

We do not claim test deposits or withdrawals we have not made. When a fact is missing or sources disagree, we say so on the page instead of guessing.

How This Site Makes Money

Some links on our pages are affiliate links to casino sites. If you sign up at a casino through one, we may earn a commission at no cost to you.

Commissions never decide a score or a position in our rankings. A casino with a generous affiliate deal still loses points for slow processing rules, missing licence data or unfair bonus terms. Our affiliate disclosure explains the whole arrangement in full detail.

Online gambling rules differ by province, and most sites we review sit outside Ontario and Alberta’s regulated markets. Our guide to gambling law in Canada explains what is legal where you live.

Found an error, an outdated limit or a clause we misread? Tell us, and we will check it against the source and update the page. Georges reads every message, including questions about a delayed withdrawal at a casino we review.
