How We Rate Casinos

Casino Weekly deskUpdated October 31, 2026

Every casino that appears in a Casino Weekly listing goes through the same checklist. The goal is simple: a Canadian player should be able to see, before signing up, who runs the site, how money goes in and out, and what the bonus really asks for.

Licence and operatorWe record the licensing authority and the company behind the brand. Ontario pages only list operators registered with iGaming Ontario.
Canadian cashierWe look for CAD accounts and the payment methods Canadians use — Interac e-Transfer, iDebit, Instadebit, cards, e-wallets and vouchers — plus minimum deposits.
Bonus termsMatch percentage, maximum amount, free spins, wagering and minimum deposit are taken from the published terms. Unconfirmed figures are not printed.
Games and studiosSlots, table games and live dealer lobbies, and which software providers supply them.

How listings are ordered

Listings mix three kinds of operators: casinos with the strongest current welcome packages for Canadian players, brands that Canadian review portals list most often, and long-established names in the market. Only operators we have a commercial agreement with appear in a listing, and the order changes between pages so each list fits the topic of the page — a PayPal page lists casinos that take PayPal, a live casino page lists casinos with live dealer games.

What we do not do

We do not publish star ratings, scores or user reviews we cannot verify.
We do not show bonus amounts on our Ontario page — AGCO rules do not allow inducements to be advertised there.
We do not list a casino without a confirmed welcome offer or a clear licence record.

Corrections

Offers change quickly. Pages show the date they were last checked; if an operator changes its terms, the operator's own terms and conditions always apply.
