Nine years reconciling settlement files before she started writing about them.
I spent nine years reconciling settlement files for a payments processor before I started writing about any of this. That job was mostly staring at transactions that did not match and working out which of four systems had told the truth. It left me with a low tolerance for a cashier that will not say plainly what it is about to do with your money.
I fund every account on this page myself from a Manitoba chequing account and I withdraw from every one of them at least twice. I keep the support transcripts. When I do not know something, which happens regularly, I say so rather than filling the gap with a confident number.
Every operator in the ranking is opened from a Canadian address and funded from a personal chequing account. No press accounts and no operator-supplied balances. Each site gets at least two withdrawal requests because the first payout and the second behave differently once an account is verified and that difference is worth reporting.
Support gets one deliberately awkward question in writing per site and the reply is kept. Bonus terms are read in full with the wagering multiplier applied to the real figure rather than the advertised one. Where a claim cannot be checked it does not get published.
No scores out of ten. No payout times presented as service levels off the back of two or three withdrawals. No licence numbers that have not been verified against a public register. No operator called safe when it sits outside every provincial regulator in Canada.
