Every review, ranking and guide on The Pie Shoppe is written and fact-checked by a named member of our team. Canadian online gambling is a “your money or your life” topic, so we hold our writers to strict editorial standards: test with real money, cite regulators and the CRA directly, disclose affiliate relationships, and correct errors fast. Meet the people behind the content.
Riley Beaumont
iGaming Ontario & Canadian Gambling Reporter, Toronto, ON
Riley covers iGaming Ontario, the AGCO and the AGLC, and Canadian gambling legislation from Toronto — reading the regulators’ public registers and reports and tracking the Alberta iGaming Corporation rollout. Riley tests every casino in our rankings with a funded account and times a real withdrawal at each.
Our Editorial Team
Behind the lead byline, our reviews are supported by specialist desks:
- Casino & payments — hands-on testing of casinos, Canadian payment rails (Interac e-Transfer, iDebit, Gigadat) and bonus-terms analysis, translating every wagering requirement into real Canadian dollars.
- Sports & odds — the markets Canadians actually bet, NHL first, plus the mechanics of single-game betting since Bill C-218.
- Crypto & compliance — provably-fair implementations, coin support, and the Canadian tax treatment of crypto-to-CAD conversions.
How We Work
- We test before we recommend — real deposits, real gameplay, real withdrawals.
- Operators cannot pay for a better rating; see our review methodology.
- Every review carries a named author and a last-updated date.
- We disclose our affiliate relationships clearly and never let them influence scores.
- We are upfront that the casinos we list are licensed offshore, not by a Canadian regulator.
