About the Author - Liam Tremblay, Canada-Focused Online Casino Reviewer & Regulatory Analyst

Who am I, and why should you trust my casino reviews?

If you're deciding where to deposit real CAD and which bonuses are worth your time, you need more than opinions-you need verifiable facts, local context, and a reviewer who explains the "why" behind every recommendation. That's the standard I set for myself on rembrandt-ca.com, and it's what I bring to every review I publish.

1. Professional Identification

Name: Liam Tremblay

Title: Regulatory-Focused Casino Reviewer and Gambling Content Editor

Primary role at rembrandt-ca.com: I research, write, and maintain our casino guides for Canadian players, with a focus on licensing, payments, and player protections.

Experience: 6 years in online gambling content (2019-2025) with a regulatory and payment-localization lens.

OBSERVE: I specialize in turning legal and technical standards-like MGA licensing, AGCO/iGO basics, RTP disclosures, and KYC/AML processes-into plain-English guidance that helps you choose safer sites and avoid costly mistakes.

2. Expertise and Credentials

EXPAND: My work centres on evidence-based reviews. For every brand I cover, I verify the licensing record (for example, via the Malta Gaming Authority public register), read the current Terms, Bonus Terms, and Banking pages, test sign-up/KYC flows, and map CAD-friendly payment timelines including Interac e-Transfer processing and typical withdrawal holds.

  • Online gambling analysis/reviews: Regulatory-focused reviews, with special attention to license scope, bonus mechanics (eligibility, wagering, max cashout), RTP visibility, and dispute paths.
  • Education: My approach is study-led and source-cited (I do not claim a formal degree or certification here).
  • Responsible gambling knowledge: Practical familiarity with Canadian responsible gambling resources and operator tools (deposit limits, session reminders, cool-offs, self-exclusion).
  • Professional affiliations: None claimed; I follow Canadian Gaming Association (CGA) guidance and industry updates to align reviews with Canadian standards.

ECHO: My credibility rests on transparent sourcing, jurisdiction-aware comparisons (MGA vs. AGCO/iGO), and update logs you can see on-page.

3. Specialization Areas

OBSERVE: Patterns in my work show a Canada-first focus that blends licensing checks with practical banking advice. Here's how that translates for you:

  • Game categories: Slots, table games, and live dealer-especially live blackjack, which is consistently popular with Canadian players.
  • Bonus analysis: I break down wagering policy, bonus abuse clauses, KYC timing, and whether offers are realistically clearable for average CAD bankrolls.
  • Payments and withdrawals: Interac e-Transfer, credit/debit, prepaid cards, and bank transfers-what's accepted, typical CAD fees, and how long withdrawals actually take after account verification.
  • Software providers: Live dealer providers (e.g., Evolution, Pragmatic Play, Playtech availability by jurisdiction), and how provider features may be disabled in regulated markets like Ontario.
  • Licensing fluency: MGA B2C frameworks, AGCO/iGO basics for Ontario, and what grey/offshore access means for consumer protections outside AGCO-regulated sites.
  • RTP and fairness: RTP disclosure practices, table game edge basics, and how to locate fairness statements in operator T&Cs.
  • KYC/AML for Canadians: What documents are commonly required, when enhanced checks appear, and steps to prevent payout delays.
  • Risk flags for Ontarians: Clear warnings when a site is not AGCO-licensed and the implications for dispute resolution and standards.

4. Achievements and Publications

Notable work on rembrandt-ca.com: I built our review framework around licensing-first due diligence and publish structured guides that Canadian players can verify for themselves.

  • Guides and explainers: Payments, bonuses, responsible gambling, apps, and FAQs-each designed to answer the "Can I trust this?" question with sources and update dates.
  • Industry engagement: I regularly consult primary sources such as the MGA licensee register, operator T&Cs, and Canadian banking documentation to validate every claim.
  • Association alignment: I align content with Canadian industry expectations and follow CGA communications; no formal membership or affiliation is claimed.

EXPAND: These efforts benefit readers by reducing uncertainty: you see precisely which license covers a brand, whether Ontario protections apply, what payments work in CAD, and how to avoid bonuses that underdeliver due to restrictive terms.

5. Mission and Values

ECHO: My approach is simple-player-first, facts-only.

  • Unbiased reviews: I disclose when links may be monetized and never soften risk language for commercial reasons.
  • Responsible gambling advocacy: I encourage limits, cool-offs, and self-exclusion where needed, and I link to help resources on our Responsible Gaming page.
  • Transparency: Licensing numbers, jurisdictions, and payment timelines are stated plainly with sources you can verify.
  • Fact-checking cadence: I run scheduled checks of licensing registries and operator terms, and I timestamp updates so you know when guidance was last reviewed.
  • CA compliance: I distinguish clearly between AGCO/iGO-regulated Ontario options and offshore/grey-market access so you understand your protections.

6. Regional Expertise (Canada)

I write for Canadian realities-CAD payments, local banks, and provincial regulatory differences.

  • Laws and regulations: Understanding how Ontario's regulated market (AGCO/iGO) differs from the rest of Canada, where offshore sites commonly operate under foreign licenses like the MGA.
  • Banking methods: Interac e-Transfer norms, card acceptance variability, bank transfer timelines, and common verification holds that affect withdrawals.
  • Cultural context: Live dealer interest, slot-first play styles, and the importance of clear RTP and bonus terms to budget-conscious players.
  • Industry network: I keep ongoing contact with operator compliance pages, public license registries, and Canadian payment providers' documentation to maintain accurate, current guidance.

7. Personal Touch

Favorite game: Live dealer blackjack. My philosophy is to set a fixed session budget, avoid chasing losses, and value transparent rules over flashy promos. If a site can't explain its terms, I won't recommend it.

8. Work Examples

I author and maintain the site's core player guides. Start here if you're new, comparing options, or double-checking payments and terms:

On rembrandt-casino: When I evaluate rembrandt-casino for Canadian readers, I check and reference:

  • Licensing: Condor Malta Ltd, MGA/B2C/340/2016 (status: active; last verified October 2025 via MGA register).
  • Jurisdictions: MGA-regulated operations; also holds an Irish Remote Bookmakers licence (No. 1020370).
  • Canada notes: Accessible to Canada as an offshore option. Important for Ontarians: rembrandt-casino is not AGCO-licensed; Ontario players are not protected by AGCO/iGO standards on this brand.
  • Practical checks: Bonus restrictions, Interac availability, KYC document expectations, and average withdrawal timelines as reported in T&Cs and recent community feedback.

Value to readers: You'll see exactly what license governs your play, whether Ontario protections apply to you, and what to expect at cashout-before you deposit.

Publishing cadence: I maintain and update the guides above on a scheduled basis; each page displays its last updated date so you can verify freshness.

9. Contact Information

You're welcome to hold me accountable-ask questions, flag a change in terms, or request a re-check.

  • Email: See the Contact page for the current email address
  • Contact page: /contact.html
  • Editorial policy: I respond to reader questions and correction requests, and I update pages when licensing status, bonus terms, or payment policies change.

Observe -> Expand -> Echo: My Quality Method

OBSERVE: I start with verified sources-regulatory registers (e.g., MGA), operator T&Cs, payment provider documentation, and Canada-specific rules (AGCO/iGO where applicable).

EXPAND: I translate regulatory language into practical guidance (e.g., what "MGA B2C" means for dispute paths, how KYC timing affects withdrawal speed, and why RTP disclosure matters when comparing slots vs. live dealer).

ECHO: I reinforce these points in each review with clear bullets, jurisdiction flags (Ontario vs. rest of Canada), and a visible last updated date so you can trust what you're reading.

Compliance statement

I do not offer gambling advice that guarantees outcomes, and I never recommend playing beyond your set budget. If you are in Ontario and prefer AGCO/iGO protection, choose a licensed Ontario operator. If you consider offshore sites like rembrandt-casino, understand the trade-offs in consumer protections and dispute resolution.

Responsible Gaming - Important warnings

Casino games are entertainment, not an income source. They come with financial risk and should never be treated as an investment.

If you notice signs of problem gambling (preoccupation with gambling, chasing losses, neglecting responsibilities, or increasing bets to get the same thrill), take action: set deposit/session limits, use cool-off or self-exclusion tools, and seek support. Our Responsible Gaming page outlines signs to watch for and ways to limit yourself.
