How we rank

Methodology

The scoring approach behind every ranking on this site. Written to be understood, not to hedge.

What we score

Every operator is scored on six dimensions, each weighted equally:

  1. Licence and regulation. AGCO-licensed books receive the highest confidence score. Provincial Crown operators score similarly. Kahnawake-licensed operators score below AGCO but above Malta and Curaçao. Curaçao-only operators are labelled clearly.
  2. Market depth. Number of pre-match markets on NHL, NFL, CFL, NBA, MLB, and UFC. Depth of player props. Coverage of niche sports like curling and Canadian junior hockey.
  3. Line quality. Comparative pricing against a market-average benchmark on major markets, sampled across a rolling seven-day window.
  4. Payment experience. Interac support, deposit and withdrawal minimums, withdrawal speed measured from first request to funds landing.
  5. Customer support and terms. Support response time on live chat, plainness of the withdrawal terms, and whether the bonus fine print matches the marketing.
  6. Responsible gambling tools. Deposit limits, loss limits, time-outs, self-exclusion, and reality checks. Whether they are set up during onboarding or hidden three menus deep.

What we test in practice

  • Open an account with our own money on every operator we cover.
  • Fund it with Interac and cards to time deposit clearance.
  • Bet across at least three sports over at least one week.
  • Request a withdrawal and time how long it takes to land.
  • Contact customer support at least twice, at least once outside business hours.
  • Read the terms and conditions in full, and cross-check any bonus wagering claims against the fine print.

Affiliate relationships

Yes, we take affiliate commissions from many of the operators we cover. Every "Open [operator]" link in our rankings is an affiliate link. This does not change the price you pay, the odds you receive, or your withdrawal rights. It also does not change our rankings. If it ever did, this whole site would be worthless, so we take the opposite trade: honest ranking now, affiliate income only where the operator deserves it.

How often we update

Every operator is re-tested at least twice a year. Major changes (new licence, ownership transfer, payment method changes) trigger an immediate re-test. Every review page carries a visible "confirmed on" date.
