party-casino and confirm the lab PDFs linked there. That site example shows the type of transparency I look for, and now I’ll note a second, slightly different reason some players prefer major brands.

Not gonna lie — brand reputation matters, especially when big jackpots (C$10,000+) are involved, so cross-check community boards and complaints. If everything lines up, you’ll have less worry about KYC or delayed payouts.

## Mini-FAQ (Canadian players)
Q: Are gambling winnings taxable in Canada?
A: For recreational players, gambling winnings are typically tax-free; professionals are different. See CRA guidance if you’re unsure — but for most Canucks, it’s a windfall. This note leads to verification and records.

Q: What payment methods show the strongest geo-signal?
A: Interac e-Transfer and Interac Online are the gold standard for Canadian players, followed by iDebit and Instadebit for bank-connected moves. Use these to avoid credit-card blocks.

Q: How often should an RNG be re-tested?
A: Ideally annually or after any code update to RNG/game logic; continuous monitoring is even better. The lab report should state frequency.

About the Author
I’m a Canadian-focused gaming analyst who’s audited casino tech flows and spoken with lab engineers and AGCO compliance officers. In my experience (and yours might differ), transparent labs, CAD support, and Interac options are the fastest indicators a site treats players fairly. If you want a hand reading a specific lab report or cert, send it over and I’ll walk through the key sections with you. (Just my two cents — learned that the hard way after uploading a blurry hydro bill and waiting for a week to cash out.)
