Liam Tremblay

Editor-in-Chief and Privacy Officer at Best Betting Apps Canada

Liam Tremblay leads the editorial team at walkervilledistrict.com. He grew up in Montreal, writes in English and French, and has followed Canadian sports betting since single-event wagering became legal in 2021. Today he oversees every app comparison on the site and signs off each rating before it goes live.

Expertise and Experience

Liam started out as a sports data analyst, building odds and player-performance reports for hockey and football coverage. That work taught him to read a betting market the way a bookmaker does: through margins, limits and how fast a price moves when a game turns.

When Ontario opened its market to private operators in 2022, he moved into reviewing betting apps full time. Since then he has tracked how the country’s betting map changed, from the growth of iGaming Ontario’s operator list to Alberta’s regulated launch in 2026, and how the same brand can run separate apps for Ontario, Alberta and the rest of Canada.

His main areas of expertise are:

• Mobile betting apps and how they perform during live games;
• Provincial regulation, licences and where each app can legally take bets;
• Payment methods, with a focus on Interac and withdrawal speed;
• Welcome offers and the wagering terms behind them;
• Responsible gambling tools and provincial self-exclusion programs.

What He Covers on the Site

Liam is the author of our main comparison of the best betting apps in Canada, our How We Rate methodology and our Responsible Gambling guide. He also reviews corrections from readers and updates from operators, checking every change against public sources before it reaches a page.

Editorial Approach

Liam’s rule is simple: a reader in Winnipeg, Calgary or Halifax should be able to trust a rating without having to repeat the research. In practice, that means:

• Every store rating is shown with the number of reviews behind it, and counts from US store listings are marked as such;
• Every app is listed with the provinces where it takes bets and the licence it operates under;
• Welcome offers are judged by their conditions, not by their headline size;
• No operator can pay for a position, review content before publication or change a rating.

He prefers plain numbers to marketing language and would rather tell readers that an app is available only in two provinces than let them download one they cannot use.

Why Readers Trust His Work

Liam keeps the site’s comparisons tied to sources anyone can check: the App Store and Google Play, the AGCO and iGaming Ontario registry, the Alberta iGaming Corporation’s list of active sites and the operators’ own terms. When those sources change, the ratings change with them.

Responsible Gambling

Liam treats betting as entertainment with a cost, and every guide he edits reminds readers of the legal age in their province, 19+ in most of Canada and 18+ in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec. If betting stops being fun, free help is available from ConnexOntario at 1-866-531-2600 or from the helpline in your province.
