Marc-André Fortin
Bylaw Desk — editorial byline
Marc-André Fortin is the byline already on every piece this desk has published — not a new pen name introduced for this redesign. Writes about the administrative side of Canadian online gambling: which regulator actually oversees what, how tax rules apply to winnings, what payment providers can and can't do under Québec's own rules, and where responsible-gambling tools sit in that framework. Not a ratings desk and not a "best casino" list — the job here is filing the paperwork side plainly, the way a clerk reads it, not the way a marketing page sells it.
Everything on this site is published under this single byline rather than a rotating cast of invented staff names — one name to hold responsible, one inbox for corrections. Filings here stick to what a regulator, a tax authority or a payment provider has actually published; nothing is rated, scored or ranked, and no payout figure is ever estimated. If a filing is wrong or out of date, it gets corrected and dated, not quietly deleted.
