1. What We Assess
Our editorial team reviews each listed Ontario-regulated operator against a consistent set of categories. Rather than a precise numeric score (which we do not publish), we use these categories to form an overall editorial judgement of where an operator sits in our list.
The categories we consider, and the approximate weight we give each, are:
| Category | Approx. weight | What we look at |
|---|---|---|
| Ontario regulatory status | 25% | Whether the operator appears in the iGaming Ontario regulated market at our last check. |
| Responsible gambling tools | 20% | Deposit/time limits, cooling-off, self-exclusion and support signposting. |
| User experience & usability | 20% | Ease of registration, navigation, and general site/app usability. |
| Market & feature coverage | 20% | Range of sports and bet types, plus notable platform features. |
| Support & information transparency | 15% | Availability of customer support and clarity of published operator information. |
Weights are an editorial guide, not a formula that produces a numeric score. They describe how much emphasis each category typically receives. We do not test payout speeds and do not make "fast withdrawal" claims.
2. Editorial Order vs. Sponsored Placement
The order in which operators appear is an editorial judgement based on the categories above. However, every listing on this site is a sponsored listing — each contains an affiliate link, and placement and prominence may be influenced by commercial relationships. We label this clearly on each card and in our Advertiser Disclosure.
Because compensation may affect placement, you should not treat the list order as an independent, purely merit-based ranking. Always do your own research and compare operators directly.
3. How Affiliate Compensation Affects Placement
When you click a "Visit Site" link and register with an operator, we may receive a referral commission. Operators with commercial relationships may be positioned more prominently than those without. This does not cost you anything, and we do not publish false statements about any operator in exchange for compensation. See our Advertiser Disclosure for full details.
4. Review & Verification Dates
Operator information on this site was last checked on August 11, 2026. Regulated status is verified against the iGaming Ontario regulated market directory. Regulatory status and operator details can change at any time; we recommend you verify current availability through iGaming Ontario before registering.
5. Who Writes These Comparisons
Comparisons and descriptions are produced by our in-house editorial team. We describe operators using factual, neutral language and avoid promotional inducements, bonuses, or guaranteed-outcome claims, consistent with the AGCO Registrar's Standards for Internet Gaming (Standards 2.03–2.08).
6. What We Do Not Publish
- We do not advertise bonuses, welcome offers, promotions, promo codes, free bets, or betting credits.
- We do not publish numeric scores or star ratings.
- We do not make performance claims (such as withdrawal speed) that we have not documented through repeatable testing.
- We do not guarantee winnings or imply that gambling is a way to make money.
7. Corrections & Updates
