How Brands Are Selected

Brands on our list are affiliate partners that accept Canadian players. That is a commercial filter, and we state it openly. We do not claim to have reviewed the whole market.

How Positions Are Set

List positions are an editorial judgment across those areas, not the output of a numeric formula. Commercial terms can influence which brands we feature. Where a rating is shown, it is an editorial opinion, not a measured result.

Levels of Evidence

So far, partner review facts are at the "Published" level. No real-money tests have been done.

When We Check Again

  • After a change in law or a provincial market.
  • When a partner changes its offer.
  • After a reader reports an error.
  • At least every six months for commercial pages.
