About Emily Savard - Your Trusted Canadian Online Casino Expert
Hi, I'm Emily. So-how'd I end up reviewing casinos? Four years back, I got hooked on the Ontario scene. Since then, I've bounced between regulatory docs and roulette tables-maybe too much!
What sets me apart? Well, at first, I wasn't even sure regulations mattered-now, though, player safety's my thing. I get a bit obsessive about honest reviews (sometimes too much).

Expertise and Credentials
Ever wonder how in the heck I ended up pouring over eCOGRA docs at 1 a.m.? Yeah, same here.
- Professional Background: First casino I ever reviewed? Lost $5 on penny slots, got an email about the bonus two days later-realized quick, it pays to actually read the rules.
- Educational Foundation: Full confession: I once got so bored reading Kahnawake docs, I spilled coffee on my laptop. (Buy better insurance, trust me.)
- Industry Engagement: Honestly, half my time is spent in webinars or pestering casino reps with questions. The other half? Double-checking licenses and hoping there's coffee.
I'll admit, sometimes concepts like RTP or RNG still trip me up. But figuring them out feels oddly satisfying-and explaining it plain? That's my goal.
Specialization Areas
Sometimes I get way too nerdy about Canadian casino lingo. But hey, if it saves you one headache-worth it, right?
If you're stuck on a snowy night in Sudbury (been there), at least you'll have the right casino trick up your sleeve.
- Online Casino Games: You'd think after 60 guides I'd run out of new ways to explain bonus traps. Nope. There's always one more weird rule for Canadians I trip over and have to figure out.
- Ontario & Canadian Market Regulations: If AGCO changes something, I usually find out at 7am-why do regulators love Mondays?
- Bonus Analysis: I've trashed bonus offers that felt sketchy-nobody needs another vague promise. You shouldn't have to wonder what's real.
- Payment Methods: Some weeks, it's nothing but online forums and AGCO news-it's not glamorous, but it keeps my guides sharp (I hope).
- Casino Software & Game Providers: Sometimes it feels like the Kahnawake site is my browser homepage, honestly. If there's news, I'll hear first-so you don't have to stress.
Achievements and Publications
Sometimes I get stuff wrong, but nothing's worse than realizing a casino changed the rules overnight (yep, it happens).
- Comprehensive guides on responsible gaming, RNG fairness, and how to verify casino licensing-right here on bet99.casino.
- Thought leadership: I remember testing my first Ontario casino: thought the withdrawal would take an hour; nope, next morning I was still reloading my inbox. Lesson learned.
- Industry Engagement: I've contributed to webinars hosted by the Canadian Gaming Association and collaborated with fellow experts on Canadian player behaviour research.
- Professional Membership: If I miss something, let me know-I've updated more reviews at midnight than I care to admit.
Mission and Values
Values? Honestly, mine shift a bit. Sometimes I lean hard on transparency, other days it's more player safety. (Hey, I'm human-priorities change!)
- Here's the deal: If a casino stiffs Canadians, you'll hear it from me, even if it means ticking off an affiliate manager (been there, done that).
- I've scrapped reviews mid-way when something shady popped up in the bonus small print. If I give a thumbs-up, trust me, someone double-checked it.
- If I sound repetitive, it's because those values are drilled into my head every time I catch myself missing a detail.
Regional Expertise: Canadian Online Gambling & the Ontario Market
Some weeks, it's nothing but digging through Interac payout fine print and arguing with casino reps about instant withdrawals. But hey, someone's gotta do it for you-and I'm happy to take one for the team when it means one less surprise for a fellow Canadian player.
- Local Laws & Licensing: Confidence? That's the least you should expect-if I can sniff out a dodgy term, you'll see it in red.
- Payment Gateways: I test and review Interac, e-transfers, and other local banking options, sometimes all in one caffeine-powered Saturday afternoon.
- Player Preferences & Safety: From game selection to support hours, I've seen it all. Fair play and privacy? These aren't marketing lines-they're the lifeblood for Canadian players, including me.
- Industry Contacts: If you're stuck waiting for a payout on a snow day, just know-odds are I've been there. And my reviews reflect it.
Personal Touch
Confession: I'm lousy at slots-blackjack's more my thing, especially late at night when the Leafs lose and I need a distraction.

Truth is, bonus info changes faster than Ontario weather. If something looks off, shoot me a message-odds are I'm about to update it again.
