Liam Tremblay - Canadian iGaming Researcher & Payments Analyst

Hi, I'm Liam Tremblay - the researcher and writer behind fcmoon777-ca.com.

I focus on Canadian online gambling regulation, payments, and practical player guidance. Since 2021 I've been documenting the CA market (4+ years), with a particular focus on how licensing, KYC/AML rules and payment rails like Interac e-Transfer shape the real player experience at online casinos and sportsbooks. Based in Canada, I localize everything I write for Canadian readers and verify primary sources before publication.

1) Professional identification

Name & title: Liam Tremblay - iGaming Researcher & Payments Analyst (CA)

Role at fcmoon777-ca.com: Primary author, methodology owner, and fact‑checker for Canada-facing casino and sportsbook guidance.

Industry tenure: 4+ years (since 2021) focused on Canadian regulations, payment methods, and player protections.

What sets me apart: I build each guide from regulatory source materials (AGCO/iGaming Ontario standards, Kahnawake frameworks and offshore licensing notes such as Anjouan licensing) and I test site processes-KYC flows, deposit/withdrawal paths and dispute options-as a Canadian user.

2) Expertise and credentials

Online gambling analysis: I research license jurisdictions, T&Cs, bonus mechanics, anti‑money laundering controls and payment operations (Interac e‑Transfer, Visa Debit vs. credit deposits, e‑wallets, bank wires) to estimate realistic payout timelines and common friction points for Canadians. I track operator change logs and update content when policies shift.

Regulatory focus: I routinely consult primary standards including AGCO Registrar's Standards for Internet Gaming, iGaming Ontario operator requirements and the Kahnawake Gaming Commission framework. For offshore sites I look for stated licences, public validation where available, and realistic consumer recourse options.

Education & certifications: I don't claim formal gambling certifications. My work rests on documented regulatory sources, payment network documentation and hands‑on, first‑principles research. When appropriate I reference provincial responsible gambling resources and independent problem‑gambling helplines so our guidance stays aligned with best practices.

Industry engagement: I follow Canadian Gaming Association publications and market insight-tracking, not speaking for, the CGA. I use that material to keep our guides current and relevant for Canadian readers.

3) Specialization areas

What I cover deeply:

Canadian licensing landscape: AGCO/iGO (Ontario), Kahnawake, and offshore regulators (e.g., Anjouan) - what each means for player rights and disputes.
Payments for Canadians: Interac e‑Transfer walkthroughs and limits, Visa Debit vs. credit, e‑wallet behaviour, bank wires, CAD support, FX fees, payout verification and common withdrawal blockers.
Game categories: slots (RTP disclosures, volatility and provider policies), live dealer blackjack & roulette (table rules, side bets, bet limits), RNG fairness basics and how payout percentages are presented to players.
Bonus analysis: real‑world wagering impacts (contribution rates, max‑bet rules, withdrawal restrictions and timeline risks), with emphasis on transparency over headline offers.
Software providers Canadians commonly see: Pragmatic Play, Play'n GO, Evolution for live dealer and aggregator dynamics - plus how studio availability can vary by province.

4) Achievements and publications

Core guides on fcmoon777-ca.com (author-maintained):

Bonuses - How wagering really works, typical contribution rates and fairness checks before you claim.
Payments - Interac e‑Transfer walkthroughs, CAD‑friendly methods and payout verification guides.
Responsible Gaming - Provincial help resources, self‑exclusion options and practical bankroll rules.
Apps - What to expect from mobile apps in Canada: permissions, data use and geolocation considerations.
Betting - Notes for sportsbook users on markets, bet types and how limits and KYC shape real outcomes.

How these help you: Each guide distils rules and payment mechanics into steps a Canadian player can verify on their own, with regular updates when operators change terms or when regulators publish new standards.

5) On offshore brand audits (example: fcmoon-casino)

I maintain brand snapshots with licensing references, KYC/AML notes and payment expectations. For fcmoon‑casino, my October 2025 notes flagged a reported Anjouan Gaming Board licence (no public licence number found in the sources I checked), an operator listed as Bermuda Triangle Ltd., and unclear consumer recourse based on available public details for that brand. If you're checking an offshore site, verify the licence on the operator's official page and understand the trade‑offs versus an Ontario‑regulated operator.

6) Mission and values

Unbiased, honest reviews: I don't publish guaranteed wins or hype. I compare what's promised to what's in the T&Cs and to what Canadians typically experience during KYC and withdrawals.

Responsible gambling first: I include self‑exclusion details and help resources in every relevant guide and encourage limits, cool‑offs and informed play. If a site lacks basic RG tools, I call that out.

Transparency: If fcmoon777-ca.com uses affiliate links I disclose that clearly and keep editorial ratings independent of commercial arrangements. Player safety and clarity come before conversions.

Fact‑checking and updates: I review operator policies and regulatory documents on a rolling basis and timestamp meaningful updates so you know when information was last verified.

CA legal compliance: I remind Ontario readers to prefer iGO‑authorised sites. For the rest of Canada I explain the realities of offshore play and what that means for disputes and recourse.

7) Regional expertise (Canada)

Regulatory map: Ontario is regulated by AGCO/iGaming Ontario; other provinces use different approaches. Kahnawake licences exist alongside provincial offerings. Offshore sites (for example, those citing Anjouan) operate outside provincial regimes - know the trade‑offs before you play.

Banking, the Canadian way: Interac e‑Transfer is widely used but can be limited by bank policy and per‑transaction caps. CAD support matters to avoid FX fees. I outline typical verification needs (government ID, proof of address, payment ownership) and how these affect payout speed.

Culture & preferences: Canadians value trust, clear terms and predictable cashouts more than flashy bonuses. Expect short, practical steps, fewer surprises and links to original sources in my writing.

8) Personal touch

My playing style is low‑stakes and methodical. I test live dealer blackjack for rule clarity and spin grid slots from studios like Play'n GO. I set session budgets, use loss limits, and stop testing a bonus the moment its terms don't match what's advertised. That keeps the writing grounded in what you'll actually experience.
