How Emily works

How Emily writes for Canadian players

Emily starts from what changes for a player in a given province: whether a casino can legally serve Ontario, what Alberta's new market means, which payment methods work both ways.

She works with the research team to check licences and payment data, and keeps bonus explanations to worked numbers rather than adjectives.

What they check

  • Provincial availability, including Ontario and Alberta
  • Interac and Canadian dollar support
  • Bonus terms in worked numbers
  • Responsible gaming tools and helplines

Questions for Emily

Which provinces have regulated online casinos?

Ontario since 4 April 2022 and Alberta since 13 July 2026. Elsewhere the provincial lottery corporations run the only authorized online casinos.

What do you look for first in a casino for Canadians?

Whether it accepts players from the reader's province and whether Interac works for withdrawals as well as deposits.

How do you explain bonus terms?

With a worked example in Canadian dollars: how much you must bet, what that costs on average and what is left.
