About Chloe Lévesque - Canadian Online Casino Expert & Lead Reviewer at Fairspin.ca
Hi-I'm Chloe. Been poking around Canadian online casinos since the pandemic. Crypto? Yep, gave that a whirl too. Anyway, at fairspin.ca, I try to make sense of the chaos and help folks play smarter.
At first, I thought these online platforms were just flash-then, wow, they sucked me in quick. What a ride since 2020! To be honest, I used to think 'Curacao license? Whatever, just another stamp.' Turns out, it actually matters-a lot. My Quebec roots? They make me picky about fairness.

I started out just curious about who's fair, who's sketchy. Didn't expect to still be at it four years later. Guess I got a bit obsessed after one too many near-disasters.
Gotta admit, I tested a bunch of sites-well, probably too many if we're honest. My main goal? Cutting through all the noise. Uh, so yeah, accuracy and transparency matter. I never thought communications school would lead me here-but after a few wild bonus terms tripped me up, I started digging into all that KYC and compliance stuff, mostly out of sheer confusion (and stubbornness).
My membership at CGA mostly means a ton of newsletter spam, but honestly, sometimes there's a gem buried in there-like the recent change in Quebec's payout rules that actually caught me off guard.
Frankly, I'm just relaying what I genuinely tried-sometimes it flopped, sometimes not. Let's be real: Canadian casinos keep changing, so I mostly write about what tripped me up personally or what my friends rant about over poutine.
Slots, Quebec quirks, and why I'll never trust a bonus blindly again
- Online Casino Games: I lose more loonies to slots than I care to admit, but I've also clocked plenty of table time, and live dealer roulette with a second screen of hockey on in the background is peak entertainment. Fave studios? Play'n GO's up there, but anything with unpredictable features gets my attention.
- Canadian Regulations & Local Flavours: Trying to keep up with Ontario's changes, Québec's bilingual rules, and crypto's "wild west" vibes-it's a full-time job.
- Crypto Gambling: Fumbled my first wallet transfer and learned fast. If you've ever worried about where the heck your Bitcoin's gone, same here.
- Bumps, Bonuses & Broken Promises: You haven't lived till you've chased "wager-free" offer... and realized there's fine print longer than your Hydro bill.
- KYC & AML: Did I plan on knowing this much about KYC/AML? Not a chance. But after nearly getting burned by a weird withdrawal flag-had to figure it out, fast.
- Player Support & Vents: Between Telegram chats with Quebecois slot fans and late-night email rants from frustrated readers, I get to see the real problems, not just the shiny promos.
How I Actually Help (and Where I've Screwed Up)
- Casino Bonuses in Canada - Ever blown a first deposit on a misleading bonus? Ask me about the time I misread the "max cashout" point and ate ramen for a week.
- Casino Payment Methods - Thought Interac was bulletproof? Wait till an e-transfer bounces back twice in a row. Crypto wallets? Triple-check those addresses, eh.
- Responsible Gaming in Canada - I've pushed my limits, lost my cool, and learned the hard way when to close the tab. This guide is as much for me as for you.
- Fairspin Casino FAQ - Still laugh at the early days when I argued with support over a delayed withdrawal-turned out my own typo held things up.
- Casino Mobile Apps - Once managed to lock myself out of an account for a typo on my phone...twice...so yes, I test these for actual usability.
Sure, I haven't landed a keynote spot (yet), but my inbox has the scars of a few heated player debates. It's the late-night Reddit DMs from frustrated players that helped me figure out what people actually need.
What Actually Drives Me (Spoiler: It's Not the Gamble)
I want to save at least one person from the mess I stepped into-those sneaky T&Cs? Yeah, been there, lost that. If I can save someone a headache, it's a win. Okay, sometimes I sound like a broken record on self-exclusion. But after seeing a buddy nearly lose it all, I don't shut up about support tools.
Honestly, every time I spot a misleading 'free spins' promo meant to trap folks, I remember the first time I got stung. Never again. It's personal now. Look, I know the typical 'trust me' talk sounds stale. But I've dodged enough sketchy links to want readers to be a bit paranoid-me included.
Local Know-How (and a Dash of Poutine Wisdom)
I hear from support staff now and then-though, honestly, sometimes their emails just remind me how complicated this industry's gotten. Makes for good stories at least. Not sure if I should mention this, but one chat with an affiliate manager taught me more about loopholes than any official 'training' session.
Whether you're kicking back in T.O., hiking in Vancouver, or grabbing a poutine in Montréal-these reviews come from a place of true Canuck trial and error, eh.
Quick Slot Confession
This is the latest slot that's at the top of my "play" list.
Since joining the online casino world, Play'n GO's pretty much my go-to when I need to unwind. Moon Princess? Stole way more of my loonies than I'll admit. Sweet Alchemy? Bit of a guilty pleasure-still chasing that sugar rush.
I keep meaning to branch out, but honestly, Moon Princess always reels me back in (pun not intended, but I'll take it). Not every session goes my way. One weekend, I dropped twenty bucks chasing a Sweet Alchemy feature-almost rage-quit, then finally hit the $150 on a $0.50 spin. Just luck? Yep. But hey, at least I didn't blow my rent.
Some nights, I blew past my limit-not proud. But losing hurts way more than missing a 'big win'. Frankly, I'd rather have a laugh at my own expense, bankroll intact.
Work Examples & My Main Haunt
Mixing it up here, but these are the guides and stories readers actually argue with me about-sometimes over coffee, sometimes in DMs. More than 70 posts and counting, here on my main haunt. If you find a better explanation for bonus terms, let me know-I might just buy you a doughnut.
Get in Touch
If you think I messed up a review (hey, it happens), or just want to vent about a bonus gone wrong, shoot me a note. I don't bite. Love a good casino debate? I'll argue with anyone about bonus clauses-just email me (tim hortons bribe? Optional, but it helps).
- Email: (include "Attn: Chloe" and I'll spot it faster than a sneaky wagering clause)

If this looks out of date or you spot a glaring miss, give me a nudge-I try to keep up, but rules and odds move quick.
