Each casino claim we verified against a public register

One finding ends the review. If that first check fails, we do not score the rest and we do not publish a consolation ranking. Among brands that survive the disqualifier, the next two factors decide the order, heaviest first.

1. Active Register Match — If the licence number on the site cannot be matched to a current Kahnawake Gaming Commission entry, the brand is out. A lapsed, suspended, or unfindable listing ends the write-up immediately. No cashier score and no game-library score can rescue a name that fails this check. That is the disqualifier, and it is applied before anything else is weighed.
2. Game Build Honesty — We open slots and table games and read what the information panel actually publishes. Slot titles should show 96%+; video poker should show up to 99.9% when a full-pay schedule is the live build; blackjack must pay 3:2, not 6:5. A lobby that advertises the Highest Win Rate Guarantee™ while installing a cheaper build loses this factor, even if the licence is clean.
3. Cashier and Control Friction — We count the clicks from a standard account to a deposit limit, a time-out, and self-exclusion, and we read the withdrawal page before funding. Smooth verification should be described in plain steps. A brand that hides those tools, or that describes cashouts only as a marketing claim, ranks below one that puts the same information on the cashier screen.

Full casino rating methodology

1. The first screen, before any account exists. A new player opens the homepage and ignores the game tiles. They scroll to the footer, find the Kahnawake mark, and copy the licence reference into gamingcommission.ca. If the register does not show an active match, they close the tab. That is the first thing a verified listing has to survive.
2. The registration form. They create an account with a name, email, and date of birth. The confirmation email arrives and the lobby unlocks. Smooth verification for a later cashout has not happened yet, and the player does not treat the open lobby as a completed check.
3. The cashier, still with a zero balance. Before adding money they open the cashier and read the withdrawal page. They note which methods appear and whether the site explains the documents needed for smooth verification. They do not deposit until that page is readable without opening a support chat.
4. Limits, still before the first deposit. From the account menu they set a weekly deposit cap and look for session timers and a self-exclusion control on the same screen. The brand confirms the limit without a ticket. They remember that self-exclusion at this brand does not automatically apply at the others.
5. The first game, opened as a check rather than a session. They pick a slot and open the information panel: the published return should sit at 96%+. They open a blackjack table and confirm the payout is 3:2, not 6:5. If they open video poker, they look for the full-pay schedule that can reach up to 99.9%. Only then do they decide whether to fund the account.
