Methodology

How We Review Online Casinos

Our review methodology, explained: the exact criteria and weightings we use to score every casino and sportsbook.

By Editorial Team

Every operator on this site is scored against five weighted criteria, and we do not accept payment to change a score.

Trust & Licensing (30%)

We verify licensing, ownership, and complaint history. Operators serving Ontario must hold iGaming Ontario registration; we check this first.

Bonuses & Value (20%)

We read the full terms, not just the headline. Wagering requirements, game weightings, and withdrawal caps all factor into the score.

Games & Software (20%)

We assess library size, studio quality, and how well the lobby performs on mobile.

Payments & Payouts (20%)

We make real deposits and withdrawals, timing each one. Interac, iDebit, and card speeds all matter here.

Support (10%)

We contact live chat and email with real questions and rate the responses.

Scores are reviewed quarterly and updated whenever an operator materially changes its terms.

Remember: Gambling is entertainment, not a way to make money. You must be 19+ to play in Ontario. If it stops being fun, free confidential help is available 24/7 through ConnexOntario at 1-866-531-2600.
