Hi, I'm Amanda A. Frase, but most of my viewers just call me Amanda or "AmandA" in chat.
I grew up in Toronto, Ontario, where winters are long and sports are basically a religion. My dad loved hockey. We would watch every Leafs game together. He would let me place pretend bets on who would score first or win the period. I got hooked early on the fun of predicting outcomes and cheering for a payout (even if it was just bragging rights). After high school, I studied sports media and digital content in Montreal. I planned to work in broadcasting or sports journalism. Streaming took me on a detour.
I started live-streaming in 2023, mostly for fun during the off-season when I missed the action. I'd go on Twitch, place bets on NHL, NBA, soccer, UFC whatever was live and chat about odds, props, parlays, and why certain books had better lines for Canadians. The community grew quickly. People from Canada were asking about legal sites, Interac deposits, CAD bonuses, provincial rules (especially after Ontario made it legal to bet on one event), and tips for avoiding dishonest offshore sites. It felt real and exciting, so I decided to go full-time.
In early 2025, I started working with Gamblingkingz.com, a trusted Canadian website for sports betting and online casinos. They provide unbiased, expert-tested reviews of the best sportsbooks and casinos that accept Canadian players. These reviews cover top bonuses (welcome matches, free bets, reloads), odds comparisons, payment methods (Interac, e-wallets, crypto), live betting features, mobile apps, and always prioritize licensed, safe operators (Kahnawake, MGA, Curacao for offshore, or iGO for Ontario-regulated). They thoroughly check security, how reliable the payouts are, responsible gaming tools (limits, self-exclusion, links to the Responsible Gambling Council), and Canadian specifics like no credit card deposits, tax rules on winnings, and provincial differences. I create content for them, such as live betting streams where I place real bets on games they recommend, video reviews of new sportsbooks or casino sites, sessions where I claim their exclusive offers, breakdowns of popular markets (NHL playoffs, NBA finals, Premier League, UFC cards), and guides on practical topics like fastest withdrawals in CAD, best odds shopping, and staying legal across provinces.
