Q&A with Cody Aceveda
Which casino game will you never play?
Any slot with a low return to player (RTP) percentage. The house always wins anyways, but I don’t play games that are skewed too far its way. Most slots have an average RTP between 94-98%. I avoid anything too far outside of that range.
When you're not writing, what do you usually do?
I’m a die-hard sports fan, so when I’m not writing, I’m watching sports. Soccer is my favourite sport, but I also follow the NBA, NFL, and pretty much anything else that’s on.
What’s a fun fact people might not know about you?
I spent three months on the small island of Graciosa in the Portuguese Azores living in an old windmill that had been refurbished into an apartment.
What's an often-overlooked feature that can make or break an online casino?
It’s not a feature exactly, but I think people often overlook wagering requirements. A generous bonus offer can become practically worthless if it has a high wagering requirement. I always recommend people read the fine print before claiming any bonus offer.
How do you keep track of Canadian online casino industry news?
Google alerts are very helpful for this, but I also regularly check government agency websites and the casino sites’ news pages for updates. They are usually the first places to break major news stories.
