Staying Current

How Does Trish Stay Up To Date?

Trish follows iGaming Business, EGR Global, and the Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists to upskill and stay well-informed about the gambling industry. She also regularly attends iGaming events, and recommends the following for further information:

iGaming Academy

Root Signature

What She Signs

/regions/*

Legal verification across all 13 provincial and territorial region pages.

/how-we-rate/

Licensing criteria section of the site's own rating methodology.

19+ & RG disclaimers

Domain-wide age-gate and responsible-gambling disclaimer language.

Legal boxes on /reviews/

Licensing, security & privacy, responsible gambling, and T&Cs sections inside the review library.

How this differs from a regional review byline: Frank Ammirante, Jaxson Robins, Loraine Couturier and the site's other reviewers cover specific provinces from a player-experience angle. Trish's signature runs underneath all of them — the legal-verification layer inside their review boxes, not a competing regional beat.
