Professional Background
I started my career in sports journalism before pivoting to iGaming content in 2014. What began as freelance casino reviews quickly evolved into a deep specialization in the Canadian online gambling market. I’ve worked with major affiliate networks, consulted for casino operators on player experience, and built a reputation for honest, no-BS reviews.
My background includes a degree in Journalism from McGill University and certifications in responsible gambling advocacy. I’ve attended iGaming conferences across North America and Europe, from ICE London to the Canadian Gaming Summit, staying on top of regulatory changes and industry trends.
Before focusing exclusively on writing, I spent three years working as an odds analyst for a licensed sportsbook—an experience that gave me firsthand insight into how these platforms actually operate behind the scenes.
What I Write About
My focus is exclusively on the Canadian online casino market. I test platforms with my own money—depositing, playing, and withdrawing—so I can report on the real player experience, not just marketing copy.

My Approach to iGaming Content
I believe players deserve the truth, not affiliate-driven hype. Every casino I recommend has been personally tested. If a site has slow withdrawals, predatory bonus terms, or sketchy licensing, I’ll call it out—even if it means leaving money on the table.
What sets my content apart:
- Real deposits, real withdrawals — I put my own CAD on the line
- Wagering math that makes sense — No hiding behind vague “terms apply”
- Canadian-first perspective — Banking, regulations, and player protections specific to us
- Regular re-testing — Casinos change; my reviews stay current
Beyond the Casino Floor
When I’m not analyzing payout percentages or testing new slot releases, you’ll find me at the hockey rink playing in a local beer league, exploring Vancouver Island’s hiking trails, or arguing about which Tim Hortons coffee is actually the best (spoiler: none of them, but I keep going back).
I’m also a bit of a poker strategy nerd and spend too much time watching high-stakes tournaments on Twitch. The analytical side of poker scratches the same itch as breaking down casino bonuses—it’s all about finding edges and making smart decisions with incomplete information.
