About me

5 mins read

My name is Deborah Stewart, and I’m a casino blogger living in the heart of Canada. My journey into the world of online casinos began as something unexpected, a path I stumbled upon while searching for a creative outlet, but it has since turned into a career that fuels both my passion for writing and my love for gaming.

Born and raised in Toronto, I spent my early years surrounded by a family that valued curiosity and exploration. My parents, though traditional in some ways, always encouraged me to pursue my interests, no matter how unconventional they seemed. I didn’t grow up in a family of gamblers—far from it—but I was always fascinated by games, whether it was card games during family gatherings or the thrill of solving puzzles. I think that’s where my love for strategy and risk started to grow.

I attended university in Vancouver, majoring in English literature. I imagined I would become a writer, though at the time, I envisioned myself writing novels or maybe pursuing journalism. I’ve always found solace in words, in storytelling, and in the art of conveying emotions and ideas. The written word has this incredible power to connect people, to make the distant seem familiar.

After graduation, I landed a job in marketing. While it paid the bills, I never found it particularly exciting. I needed something that challenged me, something that brought a spark back into my daily life. That’s when I discovered the world of online casinos. It started innocently enough—just a few spins on a slot machine here and there during a lunch break. But soon, I was hooked by the complexities of the games, particularly poker and blackjack. The strategy, the adrenaline, the unpredictability—it was intoxicating.

Blogging didn’t happen right away. At first, I was just a player, exploring different platforms and honing my skills. But as I dove deeper, I realized there was so much I wanted to share, so many things I wished someone had told me when I first started. And so, my blog was born. What began as a small hobby, a space for me to share tips and strategies, quickly grew. I didn’t just write about the games; I wrote about the psychology behind them, the emotional highs and lows, and the balance of risk and reward that keeps players coming back.

Living in Canada gives me a unique perspective. The gambling scene here is vibrant but also tightly regulated. I enjoy writing about how Canadians can navigate this world, offering insights into what makes certain platforms better suited for players in our country. Whether it’s the bonuses, payout speeds, or customer support, I cover it all with an eye on the Canadian experience.

One of the things I’m most proud of is the community that’s grown around my blog. What started as me sitting at my desk, writing for an imagined audience, has turned into real connections with people across the world. I’ve had readers share their stories, ask for advice, and even recommend games I should try. The blog has given me a sense of belonging in a world that can sometimes feel solitary.

I’m also a big advocate for responsible gambling. I know all too well how easy it can be to get swept up in the excitement, especially when you’re on a winning streak. But the losses can come just as fast, and it’s crucial to maintain a balance. I’ve written extensively on the importance of setting limits, recognizing signs of addiction, and knowing when to walk away. Gambling, for me, is about the fun of the game, the challenge, and the thrill—but always with control.

Outside of blogging, I live a pretty laid-back life. I love spending time in nature, especially hiking in the Rockies or relaxing by one of the many lakes around Ontario. I have a soft spot for animals, particularly cats, and my two furballs, Luna and Shadow, are often found lounging around my home office as I type away. My life isn’t all about casinos, though it does take up a fair share of my time. I believe in balance, whether that’s between work and play, or between risk and reward.

As for the future, I see myself continuing to grow in this industry. There’s always something new to learn, a new game to try, or a fresh perspective to explore. I’d love to eventually collaborate with other bloggers or even create content for larger platforms. But for now, I’m content to keep doing what I love—sharing my thoughts, experiences, and strategies with those who share my passion.

In the end, my journey into the world of casinos may have been unexpected, but it feels like it was always meant to be. Every spin, every hand, every post on my blog feels like a step toward something bigger—a community of like-minded individuals, all chasing the thrill of the game, with a little bit of luck and a whole lot of strategy.
