Q&A with Ed

1. What first sparked your interest in casinos or gambling culture?

I played poker semi-professionally during the poker boom of the 2000s after having previously played chess competitively. That led me to spend more time around casinos in general and learn about every corner of the gambling industry.

2. What’s your favourite type of casino game to write about—and why?

These days, I enjoy writing about new and innovative live dealer games. These titles are pushing the boundaries of what an online casino can be, offering new and fun types of interactivity and game show-like mechanics for players to explore.

3. What is a common mistake that players make when choosing an online casino?

I think that too many players click on big, flashy bonuses without considering what promotions are best for them. It’s important to check on all the available bonuses at sites you’re considering – there may be less obvious rewards that better fit your budget or playing style.

Q&A with the Editorial Team

1. How do you ensure the casinos you review are safe and trustworthy for Canadian players?

The team reviews licensing information, terms and conditions, and available player protections. They also assess payment processes, user feedback, and responsible gambling tools to determine whether a platform operates transparently and aligns with expected safety standards.

2. What responsible gambling practices do you recommend to players?

We encourage players to set limits on deposits and time spent playing, and to use available tools such as self-exclusion or cooling-off periods. Gambling should always be approached as entertainment, not as a financial strategy.

The team regularly monitors regulatory updates, industry announcements, and trusted sources within the gambling sector. This helps ensure that content reflects current rules, market conditions, and any changes that may affect Canadian players.

Hailey joined our team a little over two years ago. During this time, she gained extensive knowledge in the gambling industry, being passionate about uncovering all of its hidden areas. This approach improved her analytical skills and inspired her to bring valuable insights to Canadian players. Being a Canadian herself, with origins in Calgary, she knows exactly what punters are looking for and how to fill their gambling knowledge gap.

After completing her Linguistics degree at the University of Alberta, Hailey enrolled in a Media Communication Master’s program at the University of Montreal. Relocating there after finishing her studies seemed like the right move for her career. During her student years, Hailey not only exploited her existing passions but also pursued other interests. One of these was casual gambling. She started visiting local casinos and quickly got into the game. Although this recreational activity faded, the experience acquired during that time helped her in this role. Nowadays, she takes her responsibility of guiding players very seriously and is keen on actively contributing toward a safer gambling environment.
