User-Centric Redesign for Casinosfiables.ca

Published

on

user-centric-redesign-for-casinosfiables.ca

 

Casinosfiables announced that they have redesigned their existing site – https://casinosfiables.ca/ to better address current user demands.

Although the site’s functionality aligns with modern industry standards, the redesign is a step in the right direction and could very well give a competitive edge.

The changes addressed certain functionality concerns and aligned with ever-changing user preferences and behavior.

• Seamless page transition – The overall performance of the site improved, so pages loaded faster, despite the addition of new elements.

• Integrated social media buttons – Buttons that lead to social media pages became more visible, so it is easier for readers to complete engagement incentives that granted them affiliate-exclusive rewards or promo codes.

• More valuable insights – Previously, charts and ratings were only explained in separate reviews. The new roundup charts and ratings had a dropdown feature that provided more insights or clarity behind the rating.

• Relevant search filters – Some trends or categories that targeted user intent weren’t visible in the previous version. The updated version introduced new categories that better reflected player preferences, or included roundups based on casino features (e.g., cashback, no wager promos, game providers) that weren’t at the forefront previously.

• Author pages – Readers who had similar opinions and game preferences to the site’s authors gained the ability to find other texts from those authors. Each casino expert received a dedicated page listing all of their publications.

The changes were finalized over the past few months. The team pushed these updates in batches rather than a single big update.

Phuc Duc (Daniel) Chau loves the Bubly brand of sparkling water and stopped in a convenience store to purchase a can. Chau likes to buy lottery tickets based on a gut feeling, and due to the employee’s bubbly nature while he purchased his Bubly, Chau also purchased a Lotto Max ticket for the May 23, 2025 draw.  

It was this ticket that ended up scoring Chau a whopping $40-million jackpot.  

“I was at work when I found out,” recalled Chau of the moment he realized he won. “I was going through my bag to find a cough drop, but I saw that I had two lottery tickets in my bag and decided to scan the tickets, but I needed to update the [BCLC Lotto!] app first. The first ticket I didn’t win anything, but the second said $40 million. I have never seen that many zeroes in my life, ever. I dropped my phone and then called BCLC right away!” 

At the time of the prize claim, the Vancouver resident hadn’t yet shared the news of his win.  

“My partner doesn’t know yet! I want to share the news with them in a special way.”

Chau shared that his dream has always been to travel the world. “There are so many places I want to go to, so I haven’t fully decided!” 

When asked if he will quit his job, he said, “I haven’t decided, but I want to continue to support my community in a different way.” 

On how it feels to be a multimillionaire?  

“It means a lot to me. It opens up an opportunity for me to give back to my family, community and the world all around me. It’s not meaningful unless you can share this with those who need it.”  

Chau purchased the winning ticket at the 7-Eleven on Imperial Street and Boundary Road in Burnaby.
