Perrine Vachon

Payments Editor · Winnipeg, Manitoba

Perrine Vachon spent eleven years on the operations side of a Manitoba credit union before she started writing about casino cashiers, which is a duller biography than most bylines in this corner of the internet and a more useful one. Her job for most of that time was the queue behind the counter: why a transfer had not landed, which of the two institutions was actually holding it, and what a customer could reasonably be told. That is the same question a stalled casino withdrawal poses.

She works from a kitchen table in Winnipeg with a bank tab open beside the cashier tab, because the only way to know what a payout window really is, is to have both sides of it on screen. Every figure on this page comes off her own statements. Where a casino would not complete a round trip she has said so rather than dropping it from the list, because a brand that takes your deposit and pays you a different way is information, not an omission.
