About Daboville Tapissier
Last updated: March 2026
Our Mission
Daboville Tapissier is an independent journalism outlet dedicated to covering the Canadian gaming industry with accuracy, depth, and integrity. Our mission is to provide readers — whether industry professionals, policymakers, investors, or informed consumers — with clear, unbiased reporting on the developments shaping Canada's gaming landscape.
We believe that an informed public leads to better regulation, healthier industry practices, and a more transparent marketplace. Every article we publish is guided by a commitment to factual accuracy and editorial independence, free from the influence of operators, advertisers, or advocacy groups. Our newsroom does not produce promotional gambling content, and we never encourage readers to wager or participate in gaming activities.
Our Story
Daboville Tapissier was founded in 2024 by a team of veteran journalists who spent years covering Canada's evolving gaming sector for major Canadian and international media outlets. Recognizing the need for a dedicated, independent news source as the industry entered a period of rapid transformation — driven by Ontario's regulated iGaming market, the legalization of single-event sports betting, and the expansion of digital gaming across all provinces — the founding editors set out to build a publication that could cover this complex sector with the rigour it demands.
What began as a small editorial team in Toronto has grown into a national operation with contributors and correspondents reporting from across the country. From British Columbia's evolving lottery modernization to Quebec's regulatory reviews, from Atlantic Canada's charitable gaming sector to Alberta's emerging technology hubs, Daboville Tapissier tracks every meaningful development in the Canadian gaming ecosystem.
Since our launch, we have published hundreds of in-depth articles, regulatory analyses, market reports, and investigative features. Our readership includes gaming executives, provincial regulators, legal professionals, technology developers, responsible gambling advocates, and Canadians who simply want to understand how the industry operates and how it affects their communities.
Editorial Team
Our newsroom is composed of experienced journalists and analysts who bring deep expertise across gaming regulation, technology, finance, and public policy. Each member of the editorial team has a background in Canadian media, with years of experience covering the intersection of government policy, business strategy, and technological innovation.
The team includes investigative reporters who specialize in regulatory compliance and licensing frameworks, technology correspondents who track innovation in game development studios from Montreal to Vancouver, market analysts who produce detailed revenue breakdowns and forecasting models, and feature writers who explore the broader social and economic impact of gaming in Canadian communities.
All editorial staff adhere to our published Editorial Policy, which outlines our standards for accuracy, sourcing, transparency, and corrections. No member of the editorial team holds financial interests in gaming companies, and all potential conflicts of interest are disclosed in accordance with our internal guidelines.

Independence & Transparency
Editorial independence is the foundation of our publication. Daboville Tapissier operates with a strict separation between editorial content and any advertising or affiliate relationships. Our journalists do not receive direction, approval requirements, or editorial input from advertisers, operators, or any third-party commercial entities.
Where this site includes affiliate links — clearly marked references to licensed gaming operators — these exist to support the operational costs of running an independent newsroom. Affiliate relationships never influence our editorial coverage, article selection, or the conclusions drawn in our analysis. Our complete affiliate disclosure is available in our Terms of Use.
We are committed to transparency in every aspect of our work. If we make an error, we correct it promptly and visibly. If a source is anonymous, we explain why. If data has limitations, we note them. Readers who have questions about our editorial process, sourcing, or any content we publish are encouraged to contact us directly. We welcome scrutiny because we believe accountability strengthens journalism.
Daboville Tapissier is based in Toronto, Ontario, and operates as a Canadian media enterprise. We are not owned by, affiliated with, or funded by any gaming operator, regulator, or industry lobby group.
