Henrike Wendeborn — editor for gambling regulation and player protection
Focus: the Canadian framework — provincial regulation, iGaming Ontario register, BetGuard self-exclusion
About Henrike
Henrike Wendeborn is responsible for the content of razedcasino.biz in English. She writes for readers in Canada who want to understand what they are agreeing to before they open a casino account — not which slot is hot this week, but which protections apply, which do not, and how to find out.
Her starting point is a simple observation: most casino guides treat licensing as a footnote, while in Canada, where gambling is regulated by the provinces, it decides almost everything else. Whether a provincial self-exclusion such as BetGuard in Ontario reaches an operator, and whether a provincial authority supervises it at all, follows from one registration, or its absence, with the regulator of the province, such as the AGCO and iGaming Ontario.
What she covers
- The Canadian framework for online gambling: provincial regulation and the role of the AGCO and iGaming Ontario
- How to check an operator on the whitelist and match it with the Impressum
- BetGuard self-exclusion, deposit limits and other player-protection tools
- Bonus and payment terms, read as mechanisms rather than as advertising
- Complaints and what a player can realistically do when things go wrong
How she checks
Every guide follows the same order. First, the regulatory question: what the whitelist says, and what follows if an operator is not on it. Then the operator's own documents: Impressum, terms, bonus conditions, the information shown in the cashier and in the account settings. Only then the product itself — games, apps, support. Claims that cannot be traced to a source are left out; where a detail depends on the account or changes often, the text says "check the cashier" or "check the current terms" instead of offering a number.
Where her knowledge ends
Henrike is not a lawyer, and nothing on this site is legal advice. She does not have insight into any operator's internal systems, cannot see or influence accounts, and does not know more about an operator's licence status than the public whitelist shows. When she cannot confirm something, she says so — for instance, we do not state whether Razed's operator is on the whitelist; readers are asked to check the list themselves.
Editorial independence
razedcasino.biz is financed through affiliate commissions, as set out in the affiliate disclosure. Operators do not see texts before publication and cannot buy changes. The recurring advice to check the whitelist first is part of every relevant guide, regardless of commercial interest.
Responsible gambling
Gambling is for adults only (18+) and is entertainment with a price, not income. Henrike's guides consistently point to deposit limits, breaks and self-exclusion, and, for players in Ontario, to the free 24/7 help line ConnexOntario at 1-866-531-2600. The tools available to players in Canada are explained on the responsible gambling page.
