Editorial Guidelines
Our Mission & Who We Serve
At CanadaCasino, our mission is to help Canadian players make informed, confident, and responsible choices when exploring online casinos.
We offer clear, safe, and unbiased information about casino sites, bonuses, payment methods, and games. Everything we publish is designed with players in mind, rather than operators, to promote a balanced and responsible approach to gaming.
We align our language and standards with Canadian organizations such as the Responsible Gambling Council (RGC) and the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA).
Our coverage includes topics like:
- Casino reviews and ratings
- Bonus and wagering guides
- Payment methods and withdrawal times
- Game guides
- Slot reviews and information
Please note that we do not provide legal or financial advice.
Editorial Independence & Integrity
Our editorial work is completely independent from commercial influence.
- No casino or partner can buy better rankings or influence reviews.
- Affiliate relationships never impact our opinions or recommendations.
- We do not accept gifts, comps, or perks that could affect objectivity.
Every review is based on hands-on research and transparent evaluation, not marketing input.
Monetization & Affiliate Disclosure
CanadaCasino collaborates with licensed online casinos through affiliate links. When you sign up using one of these links, we may earn a small commission, but this never influences our ratings or suggestions.

Our Review Methodology
We use a structured, evidence-based process to evaluate casinos. Our scoring system assesses key factors for an outstanding gaming experience. We evaluate licensing and safety to ensure regulated operations, providing players with security and fairness. We also consider the variety and quality of games, from classics to the latest releases, catering to all player preferences.
Bonus fairness and wagering terms are crucial; we analyze promotions for transparency and reasonableness, as they influence player experiences. Payment speed and reliability are important, as players expect quick and secure transactions. Lastly, we evaluate customer support for responsiveness and effectiveness, ensuring players have easy access to help. Together, these criteria create a comprehensive framework for evaluating online casinos.
Where feasible, our team verifies accounts, tests payments, and saves supporting evidence (screenshots, transcripts). Learn more about this process on our How We Rate Casinos page.

Sourcing & Fact-Checking Standards
We rely on authoritative and verifiable sources to ensure the integrity and safety of our operations.

Additionally, we consult guidance from public health authorities like the RGC and CCSA to inform our practices and policies.
Responsible Gambling Standards (Safety First)
Our mission prioritizes the safety and well-being of players in all the content we produce. We use empathetic and non-stigmatizing language to ensure that our communications are respectful and sensitive to the experiences of individuals affected by gambling. We consciously avoid glamorizing gambling wins or presenting gambling as a viable source of income. Instead, we aim to provide a realistic perspective on the risks involved.
Additionally, we provide links to reputable support organizations such as ConnexOntario and the Responsible Gaming Council (RGC), which offer valuable assistance and information for those seeking help with gambling-related concerns.
