## Quick checklist (for launch or scale of Canadian O/U markets)
– [ ] Validate feed reliability and duplicate suppression for NHL/CFL/MLS.
– [ ] Ensure pricing cache and TTL strategy supports mobile reads on Rogers/Bell/Telus.
– [ ] Implement per-market liability throttles with automatic layoff.
– [ ] Support Interac e‑Transfer and iDebit; display balances in C$.
– [ ] Publish KYC rules and complaint path aligned to iGO/AGCO or your license.
– [ ] Test peak simulations (5–8× normal concurrency) on playoff/Boxing Day scenarios.
Follow this checklist before your next big hockey slate so you don’t wake up to a mess.
## Common mistakes and how to avoid them (Canadian examples)
1. Ignoring CAD UX: showing USD balances or converting silently — fix by displaying C$ and conversion costs.
2. Underestimating KYC variance: not matching bank names — fix by validating name fields early.
3. No automated layoff: manual hedging stalls during a sudden line move — fix by automating hedges to a trusted partner.
4. Over-optimizing for latency at the cost of stability — fix by introducing graceful degradation and back-pressure.
5. Lack of provincial age enforcement (Quebec special case) — fix by geo-IP + self-declared province checks plus ID validation.
If you avoid these pitfalls, you’ll see fewer disputes and a smoother scaling curve.
If you want an example of a recommended integration pattern for a Canadian cashier, see the payments guidance above and compare flows against established sites like coolbet-casino-canada to ensure parity in KYC, SLA, and display of CAD support; this helps you spot missing pieces in your own flow.
## Mini-FAQ (Canadian operators & product managers)
Q: What’s the minimum cache TTL you should use for public totals?
A: Start with 200–500ms for public reads; expose a streaming feed for high-frequency traders at sub-100ms if needed.
Q: Which payment rails are mandatory for good conversions in Canada?
A: Interac e‑Transfer and iDebit are must-haves; add MuchBetter and Instadebit for mobile and speed.
Q: How to handle disputes over a total that closed incorrectly?
A: Replay the ingestion, pricing snapshot, and ledger; publish a clear outcome and remedial credit where appropriate; keep logs for iGO/MGA or ADR.
Q: Are gambling winnings taxable in Canada?
A: Recreational winnings are generally tax-free; only professional gamblers may be taxed. Still, keep clear records for players.
Q: What resources for responsible gaming should I display?
A: ConnexOntario 1‑866‑531‑2600, PlaySmart/OLG, GameSense — show them in footer and registration flows.
Those answers are short but actionable so you can act quickly on the key questions.
## Final deployment priorities and performance KPIs (Canadian lens)
– Latency SLOs: 95th percentile read <250ms on mobile over Rogers/Bell/Telus; write ops (bets) <500ms under peak.
- Liquidity SLO: max exposure per market
