This policy explains the standards for information published on canadiangambling.net. Sharif Hassan is the editor and the contact for editorial questions and corrections.
Clear scope and useful explanations
Articles should answer the question in their title and explain the conditions that materially change the answer. Canadian access, payment acceptance, game rules and promotional eligibility are separate matters. We should not treat one as proof of another or imply that an example applies to every province or operator.
The aim is to explain decisions and conditions, rather than promise a profitable result. Gambling involves the possibility of loss. Knowing the rules or using a calculation does not make a session predictable.
Sources and verification
Prefer original information: the provider’s current terms for an offer, the game’s rule sheet for a rule, a payment service’s own documentation for its features and an official regulator or public body for regulatory information. Identify the relevant jurisdiction when it affects the explanation.
Where information cannot be confirmed, describe the uncertainty or leave out the claim. Do not turn an operator’s advertising statement into a claim that we independently verified it. Access to a website is not proof of successful registration, a completed payment or a paid withdrawal.
Reviews and comparisons
Comparisons should explain their scope and the features being compared. A selected list is not a survey of the whole market. Do not invent review scores, player testimonials, first-hand testing histories, payout records or credentials to make a listing appear more authoritative.
A logo indicates the brand being discussed. It is not a regulator’s approval mark or proof of a commercial service’s current availability. Payment methods and products can vary with location and account status.
Figures, examples and calculators
State assumptions that a reader needs to interpret a number: the stake, rules, contribution percentage, wagering basis or other relevant conditions. Distinguish a theoretical long-run result from a personal outcome. Currency labels should not imply an exchange-rate conversion unless a conversion has actually been performed and explained.
A worked example illustrates a method. It should not be presented as a live operator quote, a personalised recommendation or a way to recover losses. A calculation’s output is only as applicable as its inputs and assumptions.
Commercial influence and disclosure
Affiliate relationships can affect coverage, prominence, ordering and linked destinations. We explain those relationships in the affiliate disclosure. A paid relationship does not justify unsupported factual claims or remove the need to explain important conditions.
Updates and corrections
The updated date identifies the page’s saved revision. It does not mean every related service or external term was checked that day. Information can change between revisions, so readers should consult the current original source before acting on time-sensitive details.
To request a correction, email [email protected] with the page address, the disputed passage and supporting information. We review the point, amend material errors where supported and clarify scope where the original wording was ambiguous. Personal information in a correction request should be limited to what is necessary.
