Editorial guidelines

Facts come from primary sources

Every fact about a casino comes from the casino's own website, terms or help centre, or from a regulator's public register. We do not take facts from other review or affiliate sites. When something cannot be confirmed, we leave it out or say that the casino does not publish it.

Legal and tax guides link to official sources such as the Criminal Code, Quebec legislation, Loto-Québec and the Canada Revenue Agency.

Player experience, without invention

Our editor plays from Montreal, and our reviews are written in that voice. We describe what the site shows a player. We do not invent timings, amounts, dates, chat conversations or anecdotes. When we report our own withdrawal experience, we say so plainly; otherwise, payout times are what the casino states.

Quebec context, stated neutrally

Loto-Québec runs the only provincially authorised online casino in Quebec. Private sites that accept Quebec players are licensed elsewhere, for example by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, Curaçao or Anjouan. We say this plainly in every review. We do not give legal advice, and we do not tell anyone that an offshore site is regulated by Quebec when it is not.

Ontario and Alberta run their own regulated markets. Unless a site is registered there, we say it is not licensed for players in those provinces and we do not encourage them to sign up.

Balanced reviews

Every review lists real pros and cons. We name the clauses that can hurt a player, such as caps on bonus winnings, withdrawal limits, dormancy fees or VPN rules, even when the rest of the review is positive.

Language

We write in plain, direct language, in English and French, using the names and terms Quebec players use. We avoid hype, and we never describe gambling as a way to earn money.

Independence

Casinos do not review, edit or approve our content before it is published, and they cannot pay to change a review or a ranking.

Corrections

If a casino changes its terms or we get something wrong, we update the page and note the date of the change. Readers can report errors through the contact form; we check each report against the casino's current pages.

Responsible gambling

Every review includes the casino's responsible gambling tools and the Quebec help line, Jeu: aide et référence, at 1 800 461-0140.
