New Canadian Casinos is a single-purpose publication. We test online casinos that are new to Canadian players and publish a ranked, dated assessment of them. There is one writer, one reviewer and no content team, which is a limitation we would rather disclose than disguise with a fake masthead.
The site is funded by affiliate commission. When a reader opens an account through a link here, the operator pays us, at no cost to the reader. That is the entire business model and it creates an obvious tension with the job of telling you which offers to avoid. Our answer to that tension is method: every ranking position is defended in prose, the catches are written into the reviews rather than omitted, and we publish negative findings about brands that pay us.
Every site we rank gets a real account, real identity verification and a real deposit of our own money. We read the bonus terms end to end before playing and record the wagering multiple, whether it applies to bonus alone or deposit plus bonus, the maximum bet permitted while a bonus is live, and the game weighting table. Then we request a withdrawal and note whether the cashier asks for anything it did not ask for at signup.
We deliberately do not publish payout times in minutes, numeric star ratings, or licence numbers we have not confirmed on the issuing regulator's own public register. Payout speed depends on your bank and your verification state, so a precise figure would be invention presented as measurement. Ratings compress a subjective judgement into something that looks objective. We would rather argue our case in sentences.
No operator has ever been given, or offered, a ranking position in exchange for payment, and no operator sees this page before it publishes. If an operator disputes something factual we will re-test and correct it, and the correction will be visible rather than a silent edit.
If you spot an error — a bonus figure that has moved, a payment method that has been withdrawn, a term that has changed — tell us and we will check it. Reader reports about withdrawal problems are the most useful thing we receive, because they surface behaviour that a single test account cannot.
