About us

Our editorial team

Who stands behind what you read here, and what they check before it goes up.

Who's responsible

Everything on TorontoPoker.org is published under the TorontoPoker.org editorial team. The team is responsible for the room profiles, tournament coverage, online-poker pages, lessons and calculators. We hold local facts that can change, like a room's hours or a tournament date, to a stricter standard than general strategy, because those are the ones that can send you on a wasted drive.

What the team checks

  • Poker-room facts against the venue's or operator's own pages.
  • Ontario online-poker status against iGaming Ontario.
  • Dates on anything time-sensitive, so you know how fresh it is.
  • Past tournament results kept separate from verified upcoming or recurring events.
  • Correction and sourcing standards that stay the same whatever our affiliate relationships are.

How we write

Specific, not hype. We'd rather tell you a room publishes $1/$3 No-Limit Hold'em than call it "the place to play". You can decide what's good for you once you know what's actually offered.

Evidence, not guesses. A business listing isn't proof of a licence. A game on a menu isn't a live seat report. When we don't know whether a game is running, we say so and point you to the live list or the phone.

Useful, not padded. We'd rather give you a room profile you can act on, a pot odds calculator you can check a hand with, or a regional comparison that tells you how far each room is, than a pile of thin articles saying the same thing.
