Editorial policy at Independently Audited Casinos Canada

This publication applies a formal audit methodology to every casino it covers. The audit has defined inputs, a structured scoring process, and documented outputs. The goal is a review that readers can interrogate point by point rather than accept as authoritative simply because it appears in a polished format.

Audit inputs come from multiple independent sources: public licence registers, software provider technical documentation, test account data gathered in Canadian provinces, timed withdrawal records from those accounts, and direct interactions with casino support staff conducted under standard player conditions.

Auditors are assigned to specific sections based on their expertise. Licensing sections are conducted by writers who are familiar with the Kahnawake Gaming Commission's public records. Game integrity sections are handled by analysts with direct knowledge of the title catalogues published by Pragmatic Play and Games Global. Withdrawal and support sections use test accounts established in Canadian provinces for this purpose.

Affiliate commissions provide the financial support for this publication. When a reader follows a link from this site to a casino and creates an account, the casino may pay a referral fee to this editorial operation. We describe this arrangement in plain language because omitting it would be inconsistent with an audit-based editorial approach whose entire premise is transparency. Our affiliate income does not influence audit scores, ranking positions, or decisions about which casinos to include.

The business function and the audit function of this publication are structurally separated. Affiliate agreements are managed by a commercial team that operates independently of the audit team. No member of the commercial team scores an audit, and no member of the audit team is part of commercial negotiations with casino partners.

Audit findings are reviewed and updated when material changes occur at a reviewed casino — changes to software providers, withdrawal policy revisions, responsible gaming tool updates, or modifications to licence status. A refreshed audit displays a prominent update notice and a changelog covering what was reassessed and how findings changed.

Readers who find an error in a published audit finding can file a correction report through our editorial contact. We review the report within two business days. When the correction holds up under investigation, we update the finding and publish a transparent correction statement on the affected page describing what the original text said, what we changed it to, and when.

The Independently Audited Casinos Canada rating scale lives at how we rate, the bylines at our reviewers, and the funding note at about and affiliate disclosure.
