How Verified Casino Sites Canada is written
The verification process behind every review on this site begins with the casino's licence. We identify the issuing authority, check the licence number against that authority's current public register, and confirm that no conditions or sanctions are recorded. A casino that cannot be confirmed as actively licensed does not progress further in our review process under any circumstances.
After licensing, we assess the status of third-party audit certification. We look for published reports from an accepted testing laboratory that cover the casino's actual payout performance — not just individual game certificates. Certification status is noted in the review, and any gaps or expired certifications are explicitly flagged for the reader.
Affiliate commissions are part of how this site generates revenue. A commission is earned when a visitor follows a link from our site to a casino and registers an account. These commercial relationships are disclosed on all relevant pages. The commission rate a casino pays does not affect its score or its position in our rankings. Two casinos with identical scores appear in the order determined by our assessment criteria, not by commercial arrangement.
VIP programme assessments on this site include the practical mechanics of how Status Points accumulate and what they are worth when converted. The actual conversion ratios — how many points equal one dollar of cashback or bonus credit — vary substantially between programmes, and a programme that awards points generously but converts them at a poor rate is identified as such in our coverage.
Our editorial team tests VIP status match processes where they are available. Status match allows a player who already holds a loyalty tier at one casino to claim an equivalent tier at a new casino, bypassing the initial accumulation phase. We verify whether the process works as described and document what supporting information is required from the player.
Errors in our verification data are corrected as soon as they are identified, whether from internal review, reader notification, or updated audit publications. Corrections are noted in the affected review with the correction date. We do not alter published content without disclosure, and we do not respond to operator pressure to improve a verified score without new supporting evidence.
Our writing team operates independently of casino operators at all times. Opinions stated in reviews reflect the outcomes of our verification process and the direct experience of our writers. We do not accept operator requests to modify accurate critical assessments in exchange for any form of commercial consideration.
