Content Transparency

Our Editorial Commitment

CBRDI (Canadian Betting Reviews & Deals Index) exists to give Canadian players accurate, data-driven information about online casinos. Every review published on this site is based on real-money testing conducted by our team — not press releases, operator-supplied copy, or recycled marketing material.

We believe you deserve to know exactly how we produce our content, how we fund this operation, and what role affiliate relationships play in our business. This page lays it all out.

How We Create Reviews

Every casino that appears on CBRDI has been tested through our structured evaluation process:

• Real CAD deposits: Our analysts deposit their own money using payment methods available to Canadians — primarily Interac, Visa, and cryptocurrency.
• Bonus claim and grind: We opt into welcome offers, track wagering progress, and document every restriction buried in the terms and conditions.
• Withdrawal verification: We request cashouts and time them from submission to funds landing in our accounts. We test on both weekdays and weekends.
• Support evaluation: We contact live chat with specific questions to assess whether agents have actual product knowledge or are reading from a script.
• Scoring: Casinos are scored across five weighted categories — Game Variety, Payout Speed, User Interface, Bonus Value, and Security. The full breakdown is on our Review Process page.

Affiliate Disclosure

CBRDI earns revenue through affiliate commissions. When you click a link on our site and register at a casino, we may receive a referral fee from that operator. This is how we fund the site, pay for real-money deposits, and keep the content free for readers.

Here is what affiliate relationships do not influence:

• Rankings and scores — these are determined by our testing data and scoring methodology.
• Negative findings — if a casino has slow payouts, predatory bonus terms, or poor support, we report it regardless of the affiliate relationship.
• Inclusion on the site — operators cannot pay to be listed or reviewed.

We recommend casinos we would deposit at ourselves. If the math on a bonus doesn't work, we say so — even if that casino pays us a commission.

Content Accuracy

Casino bonus terms, payout speeds, and game libraries change frequently. We re-test our listed casinos on a quarterly cycle to catch regressions, silent term changes, and new features. If you spot outdated information on any page, please let us know and we will verify and correct it.

All bonus amounts, wagering requirements, and payout timelines listed on CBRDI reflect the data we recorded at the time of testing. Actual terms may vary — always confirm directly with the operator before depositing.
