I’m Denis Beaulieu, founder of The House of Cards, here to help Canadian players find safe, honest online casino options. I grew up in Kitchener, Ontario, and I know choosing a casino can feel a lot like picking the right coffee shop, eh? I’m here to share clear, trustworthy advice based on real experience. My goal is to make your gambling choices simpler and safer—like having a buddy at the card table.
First Steps: From Bingo Halls to Honest Reviews
Back in 2018, I spent a year working at Delta Bingo & Gaming near Niagara Falls. That job showed me both sides of the casino world: the shady bonus traps and the legit, fair platforms. It made me realize players need a place that cuts through the BS—and that’s how The House of Cards was born.
In 2020, I also took the Introduction to iGaming course at iGaming Academy to sharpen my skills. That training still fuels the honest reviews I write today.
My Sweet Spot: Bonuses, Fairness, and Player Safety
I specialize in reviewing online casinos with a sharp eye on bonuses, fairness, and platform security. I know how to spot licensed and trustworthy sites—like those regulated by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission.
I’m also well-versed in responsible gambling, following guidelines from the Government of Canada Responsible Gambling. And yeah, I break down tricky stuff—like wagering requirements—so you can make smart choices without needing a law degree.

The Education That Built the Foundation
From 2006 to 2013, I studied Human Sciences at St. Jerome’s University in Waterloo, Ontario. That degree helped me understand human behaviour—something I now use to figure out what players really need from casinos.
In 2020, I added the Introduction to iGaming course at iGaming Academy, which gave me even sharper tools to evaluate platforms and write practical, no-fluff reviews.
