Our Vision & Mission
Most casino review sites exist to make a quick buck by promoting whatever operator pays the highest commission. We started REKKR Casino Hub because I got tired of watching Canadian players get screwed by sketchy operators and dishonest “review” sites that were just glorified advertisements.
Our mission? Simple: Be the most honest, comprehensive, and player-focused casino review platform in Canada. We test every casino like we’re betting our own money—because we literally are. We call out bullsh*t when we see it. We celebrate operators who actually treat players with respect. And we provide the kind of detailed analysis that helps you make informed decisions about where to gamble online.
“The only way to change an industry is to refuse to participate in its worst practices.” – That’s something my prof at University of Calgary used to say, and it stuck with me.
Our Story: How a Frustrated Gamer Built a Casino Empire
2018: The Beginning
Started REKKR Gaming Solutions Ltd. in my cramped Calgary apartment, fueled by Tim Hortons coffee and righteous anger about terrible casino practices. First month’s traffic? 73 visitors, mostly my mom. But I knew there had to be other players tired of getting ripped off.
2019: Getting Noticed
Landed my first professional writing gig with Casino.org and attended my first industry conference. Realized the casino industry was even worse from the inside than I thought. Doubled down on transparency.
2020: The Gaming Connection
Launched our DOOM REKKR mod during the pandemic—because apparently, I needed another obsession. Over 2.5 million downloads later, it established our credibility in both gaming and gambling communities. Turns out, understanding game mechanics helps you review casino games better. Who knew?
2021-2022: Industry Experience
Worked with Betsson Group helping prepare for Ontario’s regulated market launch. Learned how major operators think. Came back to REKKR full-time in 2022 when traffic hit 150K monthly and I realized we could actually make a difference.
2023-2024: Building the Team
Hired our first employees, established partnerships with CasinoGuru and Casinomeister, won industry awards, and proved that honest reviews could actually succeed in this industry.
2025: Today
Running a team of 12, serving 600K+ monthly visitors, and consulting for provincial regulators. We’ve become one of Canada’s most-cited casino review sources—all without compromising on honesty.
Who We Serve
Canadian Players First: Everything we do is designed for Canadians. We test payment methods that work in Canada, review operators licensed to serve Canadian players, and explain regulations in context that actually matters to people living here.
Responsible Gamblers: We’re not here to encourage problem gambling. Every review includes responsible gaming assessments, and we actively promote operators with strong player protection tools.
Information Seekers: Whether you’re a casual player who deposits $20 on weekends or a serious gambler tracking variance and RTP percentages, we provide the depth you need.
Our Services & Why We’re Different
Comprehensive Casino Testing
We don’t just “review” casinos by copying information from their websites. Every casino gets the full treatment:
- Real money deposits using Canadian payment methods
- Complete game testing across slots, table games, and live dealer
- Withdrawal attempts to verify they actually pay out
- Customer support stress tests (including 2 AM inquiries)
- Terms & conditions analysis to find the buried bullsh*t
- Mobile experience testing on multiple devices
Example: When we reviewed SpinCasino in 2024, we discovered they were applying different wagering requirements to Canadian players than advertised. We documented it, contacted them, and when they refused to fix it, we published the findings. Three weeks later, they changed their policy. That’s the impact of honest reviewing.
Payment Processing Database
We maintain an active database tracking withdrawal times across 200+ casinos. You can see exactly how long operators actually take to process payments—not what they claim in their marketing.
Regulatory Compliance Monitoring
Our compliance specialist tracks license changes, regulatory actions, and operator complaints across multiple jurisdictions. If a casino’s Malta license gets suspended, we know about it before most players do.
Educational Content
We publish detailed guides explaining:
- How casino bonuses actually work
- RTP percentages and what they mean
- Payment method pros and cons
- How to identify scam operators
- Responsible gambling tools and strategies

Our Growth Timeline
Our Editorial Policy
We don’t f*ck around with integrity. Here’s how we maintain it:
1. Testing Requirements
Every casino must be personally tested by team members using real money before we publish a review. Minimum testing period: 30 days.
2. No Pay-for-Play
Operators cannot pay for better reviews or higher rankings. Our safety scores are algorithm-based and non-negotiable.
3. Disclosure Standards
All affiliate relationships are disclosed. Commission rates never influence our editorial content or safety assessments.
4. Update Protocols
Reviews are updated every 90 days or immediately if operators change terms, licenses, or payment policies.
5. Complaint Resolution
We investigate every player complaint about casinos we’ve reviewed and update content based on verified issues.
6. Independence First
We’ve turned down acquisition offers from major media companies and operator groups. Can’t call out industry bullsh*t when you’re owned by the same investment fund that owns the casinos.
Our Reviews & Recommendation Standards
We evaluate casinos across eight core categories:
- Licensing & Regulation (20% of score)
- Game Selection & Software (15% of score)
- Payment Processing & Speed (20% of score)
- Customer Support Quality (10% of score)
- Bonus Terms & Fairness (15% of score)
- Mobile Experience (10% of score)
- Responsible Gaming Tools (5% of score)
- Player Complaints & Reputation (5% of score)
We only recommend casinos scoring 75/100 or higher. Anything below that doesn’t get a referral link, even if they offer higher commissions.
“Trust takes years to build, seconds to break, and forever to repair.” – My partner Jordan reminds me of this whenever I’m tempted to compromise on standards.
