We’re all about quality over quantity when it comes to our reviews. We’d rather give you a few really detailed and helpful reviews than bombard you with a bunch of shallow ones. We test every nook and cranny of these casino sites to make sure we’re only giving you the good stuff.
Independence is super important to us. We don’t belong to any gambling companies and no online casino tells us what to do. We make our own decisions and our opinions aren’t swayed by any outside connections. We use affiliate links, which means we’re transparent about our relationships and stay independent from the casinos.
We believe in being upfront with you. We always let you know about our affiliate partnerships, we tell you where we got our info, and we keep things honest with our users.
Honesty is key for us. We’ll always give you the straight truth and if a casino we recommended before loses a feature or gets a lower rating, we’ll let you know right away. No misleading info or clickbait here!
We take responsibility seriously. When we rate casinos, we pay a lot of attention to how well they follow the rules and support responsible gambling. We like sites that give you tools to limit your gambling if needed, so you can have a safe and trustworthy experience.
So, how do we rate these online casinos? We look at a whole bunch of things:
- Is the casino legal and licensed? We only review fair, reliable, licensed casinos. Bonus points for licenses from well-known authorities and fairness certificates from independent auditors.
- Is your data safe? We make sure the casino uses top-notch encryption and stores your info securely. We also comb through their privacy policies and test their site security.
- Are the bonuses any good? We look at bonuses based on how much they actually benefit players and how fair the conditions are. No sneaky terms allowed!
- Are the terms and conditions clear? We read all the fine print to make sure the promotions are transparent and easy to understand.
- What do other players think? We listen to other Canadian players and include their reviews and comments in our ratings for a well-rounded view.
- How’s the game variety? We check out the diversity, quality, and number of games available, from slots to card games to bingo and more.
- Who makes the games? The software developers a casino works with says a lot about their game quality. We prefer sites that partner with the big names in the biz.
- Is it easy to pay and get paid? We look at payment options that work well in Canada, test them on desktop and mobile, and make sure the limits suit different budgets.
- How fast do you get your money? Fast payouts are a must. Casinos with instant deposits and speedy withdrawals score higher with us.
- Does it work well on mobile? We test everything on mobile to ensure a smooth experience. Native apps get extra points!
- Is the site easy to use? We like casino sites that look modern, are easy to navigate, and work just as well on mobile.
- How’s the customer support? Responsive customer service is key. We appreciate multiple ways to get help, like live chat, email, social media, and phone.
For slots, we look at the game mechanics, features, payout rates, theme, and sound effects. Creative, innovative slots with high payout rates, cool themes, and great visuals and audio get top marks.
For other casino games, we consider the house edge, how easy they are to learn, and if you can play them on different devices. Low house edge, simple rules, and games that work across platforms are what we like to see.
Our team is made up of industry pros, each with a ton of experience in different parts of online gaming. As gamers ourselves, we get what you need and aim to give you the most reliable, useful, and in-depth info to make your gaming better.
