About CasinoMary

Canada's no-nonsense guide to online gambling sites. Founded by Nikolaj Kure. Research-based reviews, no AI-generated content, no paid placements.

Last reviewed May 7, 2026 by Nikolaj Kure

CasinoMary is Canada's no-nonsense guide to online gambling sites, founded by Nikolaj Kure. We research operators against a structured framework of verifiable data points, verify what the regulators record, and tell you what holds up under scrutiny.

Mary

Mary is our mascot. She represents our editorial approach: cut the fluff, read the wagering requirements, never take an offer at face value.

Mary is not a real person. She doesn't write reviews. She doesn't have personal experience as a croupier or a player. We don't want anyone mistaking a brand character for a credentialed expert. Every review and every recommendation on this site is written by Nikolaj and the CasinoMary team — real people, signing real bylines.

Who runs CasinoMary

Nikolaj Kure

Founder & Editor

Nikolaj Kure is the founder and editor of CasinoMary. He has spent five years working in online iGaming affiliate marketing, including running paid traffic acquisition for casino operators via Meta since late 2023. CasinoMary itself launched as an SEO project in 2020 but never gained meaningful traction. Nikolaj relaunched it in 2026 with a research-driven editorial approach, applying what he learned from the operator side of the industry to building something player-focused. He develops CasinoMary's research framework, writes the majority of reviews, and is personally responsible for editorial standards and fact-checking.

Editorial standards

  • Every recommended casino is researched against ten verifiable data points before we publish a review
  • Reviews are re-researched every 90 days as licenses, terms, and ownership change
  • Affiliate relationships exist only with operators we have already chosen to recommend through independent research
  • Bonus terms are quoted from operator T&Cs, not press releases
  • Ratings reflect research outcomes, not commercial relationships
  • When we have direct testing data through partner reviewers, we cite it explicitly with the tester's name

How we make money

We earn a commission when readers sign up to recommended casinos through our links. We do not accept payment to feature, rank, or promote casinos. We do not run display ads. The wall between editorial and commercial is documented in our methodology.
