    Betting on esports underdogs

    I've been following a bunch of Valorant tournaments lately, and I swear, the underdog teams have been killing it.

    Chasing that free bet high

    There’s something kinda poetic about how fast luck can turn. So, I got this $20 free bet from a sportsbook (shoutout to Canadian promos). I figured, why not aim high? Tossed it on a wild NHL parlay—three underdogs, pure chaos. And somehow, the stars aligned… $400 cashed out, just like that...

    Why don’t online casinos have collaborative games?

    I was playing an online slot the other day, and a thought hit me—why are all casino games solo experiences? Think about it. Video games evolved to include co-op multiplayer, team-based missions, even MMOs—yet online casinos are still mostly you vs. the house. Why hasn’t anyone made a...

    Are casino soundtracks secretly making us bet more?

    As a musician, I can’t help but notice how online slots use sound to mess with our brains. The upbeat jingles, the suspenseful crescendos before a spin lands, and—of course—the little "win" sounds that play even when you’re technically losing. I recently played a slot that had this eerie...

    Are Canadian casinos overlooking live dealer gaming?

    I was playing a few online casino games recently and noticed something odd—there aren’t as many live dealer options as I’d expect here in Canada. Sure, I enjoy spinning a colorful slot game every now and then, but sometimes you just want that real casino vibe without leaving your cozy couch...
