Review Philosophy
"I believe every Canadian player deserves honest, unbiased information about where they're putting their money. The gambling industry is full of flashy marketing and empty promises. My job is to separate the legitimate operators from the ones that will waste your time and money."
"I personally deposit and withdraw from every casino I review. If I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending it to a friend, it doesn't make the list."
Personal
When she's not analyzing bonus terms or arguing about RTP on gambling forums, you'll find Sarah hiking in Muskoka or watching the Leafs disappoint her yet again. She's based in Toronto and has been a proud Canadian resident for over 20 years.
