About Tyler

Tyler Roy grew up in Stoney Creek, a suburb of Hamilton, Ontario, the middle child of a postal worker dad and a nurse mom. After studying journalism at Mohawk College, he bounced around PR firms in the GTA before going freelance in 2019. He now lives near James Street North in Hamilton with his partner Marissa and their tabby cat, Doug.

Tyler got into online casinos during the early pandemic lockdowns — signed up for Jackpot City on a whim and quickly realized most review sites were full of it. He started writing honest reviews on a WordPress blog that nobody read, but it taught him the ins and outs of the industry. That side project eventually became his full-time career.

With over 7 years of hands-on experience in the Canadian iGaming industry, Tyler has personally tested and reviewed hundreds of online casinos. His background in journalism and PR gave him the research skills and the nose for spin that makes his reviews stand out. He developed a no-nonsense evaluation framework that covers everything from licensing and security to game variety, payment processing, and customer support responsiveness.

His reviews are known for their directness, fairness, and zero tolerance for sites that drag their feet on withdrawals. If a casino has issues, Tyler says so clearly — no sugarcoating, no hedging. That's why Canadian players trust his recommendations.

Tyler is a strong advocate for responsible gambling practices and regularly contributes to industry discussions on player protection standards in Canada. He stays current with Canadian provincial gambling regulations to ensure every review reflects the latest compliance requirements. When he's not reviewing casinos, you'll find him watching the Ticats at Tim Hortons Field or grabbing a double-double, eh.

Review Philosophy

"I treat every casino review the same way I'd want someone to advise me before I deposit my own money. No fluff, no spin, no hiding the downsides behind marketing language. Canadian players deserve to know exactly what they're getting into — the good, the bad, and the wagering requirements."

Tyler Roy Senior Casino Reviewer, Ceasefire Now Casinos

Tyler's review approach is grounded in real-world testing. He creates accounts, deposits real Canadian dollars, plays the games, claims the bonuses, and — most importantly — requests withdrawals. A casino that makes it difficult to get your winnings out will never earn a recommendation from him, no matter how flashy the welcome bonus looks.

Every review follows the same rigorous 7-step evaluation process that covers registration, licensing verification, gameplay testing, bonus analysis, withdrawal speed, customer support quality, and ongoing monitoring. This consistency is what allows readers to trust the ratings and compare casinos fairly across the board.
