Tudor Turiceanu’s background has helped him expose casinos that operate without a valid license, spot predatory bonus terms that just trap players, and fight back unfair withdrawals rejections in place of players.
Since 2007, I’ve spent 19 years in gambling as a player who just chased bonuses without reading the fine print, losing money and learning hard lessons about wagering conditions and the predatory terms in casinos. After nearly a decade of experience as a firsthand player, I founded CasinoAlpha in 2016 to prevent others from making the same expensive mistakes.
Unlike most casino review sites who just promote whoever pays the highest commission, I decided to test every casino the way players would: through real money, real deposits with Interac e-Transfer, and real withdrawals to Canadian banks. By taking this approach, I’ve rejected multiple high-paying partnerships with unlicensed operators or those with predatory terms.
Now, I lead 30+ gambling experts across multiple markets, and our 47-factor evaluation system applies equally to every operator, whether they’re partners or not.
We made our Top Canadian Casinos rankings based on performance, not commission rates or operator requests. A strict 47-factor scoring system determines the rank of each casino. This includes the validity of their license, the withdrawal speed, bonus fairness, the game quality and support responsiveness. I made specialized rankings because I know that each player has their own set of priorities:
Since Tudor Turiceanu started CasinoAlpha in 2016, he’s kept one principle: Always put players first and commissions second. Meaning that Tufor has rejected many high-paying partnerships with unlicensed casinos, published critical reviews of operators paying CasinoAlpha commissions when their services declined, and never changed casino ratings because operators offered higher rates.
CasinoAlpha’s Editorial Policy requires dual analyst examinations, minimum 2 testers per casino, Chief Editor approval (Tudor Turiceanu’s final review) before publication, and quarterly updates to show any operational changes. Rankings get re-evaluated entirely every 15 days, with instant updates when casinos have their license suspended, failures in payment or regulatory warnings.
