Back in February, I was scammed by a so-called “top-rated” online casino I found through a flashy Instagram ad. Everything seemed real at first, but they locked my account after I hit a decent win, claiming “unusual activity.” I lost over $300 CAD and learned my lesson the hard way. Since then, I’ve been very cautious and only go through platforms that do proper checks. My colleague, who’s a gambling enthusiast, pointed me toward open-cards.io. They actually test the games and don’t just list random casinos. I followed one of their recommendations last month, and so far, it’s been smooth sailing—quick withdrawals, generous bonuses, and no suspicious terms in the fine print.
