Every operator is scored on the same seven criteria, so rankings are comparable rather than arbitrary.
Our criteria
- Licensing & safety (20%) — registration status (AGCO/iGO for Ontario), ownership and player-protection track record.
- Odds quality (20%) — competitive pricing on the markets Canadians bet.
- Bonus & wagering terms (15%) — fairness of the offer, not just the headline number.
- Payment methods (15%) — Interac support, withdrawal speed and fees.
- Live betting & features (15%) — in-play markets, cash-out, streaming.
- Usability & app (10%) — mobile experience and site stability.
- Customer support (5%) — availability and quality.
Verification
We verify operator data before publishing and re-check it periodically. Where we have not yet confirmed a current Canadian offer (for example a bonus amount in CAD), we link to the operator instead of publishing an unverified figure. Scores are editorial and independent of any commercial relationship.
