What George Carlson does

George Carlson, doing business as Interac Casinos, is a privately held Canadian affiliate marketing website launched in 2020 that reviews online casinos accepting Interac e-Transfer. The site targets Canadian online gamblers seeking verified casino options and provides personally tested casino reviews, deposit and withdrawal speed measurements, slot game educational content, banking guides for Interac e-Transfer, and responsible gambling resources. Content is organized into a core top-picks list of six casinos, a slots guide covering providers such as Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, and Microgaming, a banking section explaining deposit and withdrawal mechanics at major Canadian banks (TD, RBC, BMO, Scotiabank, CIBC, Desjardins), and a safe gaming section linking to ConnexOntario and the Responsible Gambling Council.

The platform operates as a content and review site rather than a software product, with no proprietary technology stack, APIs, mobile applications, or AI capabilities disclosed. Customer acquisition relies on organic search engine optimization targeting Canadian keywords such as "Interac online casino Canada" and "best Interac casinos." The company does not disclose revenue figures, headcount, incorporation jurisdiction, or ownership structure; the site is bootstrapped with no external funding, parent company, or institutional investors identified.

The business monetizes exclusively through affiliate commissions earned when visitors click through to partner casinos and complete sign-ups. Six casino partnerships (Granawin, BetLabel, Tornado Bet, OptimBet, LSbet, SlottoJAM) constitute the entire revenue surface, with Granawin positioned as the flagship #1 pick. The revenue model is performance-based, combining percentage-of-deposit and fixed-fee-per-referred-customer structures. The company also lists responsible gambling support organizations as resource references rather than commercial partners, reflecting regulatory risk mitigation in a tightly regulated vertical.
