How Our Scoring Works

What This Platform Does

GambleGrade rates online casinos, bonuses, and payment methods across 37 markets using a published formula. I built it to help Canadian players cut through marketing hype and see what the terms actually say.

I don't run casinos, handle payments, or manage player accounts. Everything here is informational only.

The full methodology - weights, inputs, scoring logic - is published here: https://gamblegrade.com/methodology

How Ratings Stay Independent

Scores come from a formula. The formula doesn't bend.

No casino can pay for a better rating. This is firm:

• Ranking order is never for sale.

• Money doesn't change a score.

• If I find a problem, it stays public.

• Bad terms don't get hidden because someone asks.

When a casino buries max cashout caps, dormancy fees, slow payouts, or vague bonus rules, the score reflects that.

I grade across six pillars:

• Trust and licensing legitimacy

• Whether bonus terms are genuinely fair

• How quickly withdrawals actually process

• Which payment methods work reliably

• Mobile and site usability

• What real players report

About Affiliate Links

When someone signs up via a link on this site, I may earn a commission.

That commission doesn't affect the rating. Here's what that means:

• Scores don't move because I get paid.

• Bad findings stay visible.

• No casino receives special treatment.

The scoring system works the same way whether I earn commission or not.

Data Quality & Your Responsibility

Information comes from official casino websites, automated data collection, and manual review.

Casinos update their terms, bonuses, and payment options regularly. By the time they change on their site, my cached data might be out of date.

Before you sign up or deposit - always verify directly on the casino's own site. Don't trust outdated information from any third party, including here.

See something wrong? Email info@gamblegrade.com with specifics. I verify every report before making changes.

This Is Not Financial Advice

Nothing on this platform is gambling guidance, financial recommendation, or a win guarantee.

I don't predict outcomes. I don't push anyone to play. I don't provide financial advice.

Check that online gambling is legal in your province before joining a casino.

What I Don't Cover

GambleGrade is not responsible for lost funds, bonus disputes, frozen accounts, delayed payouts, or conflicts between you and an operator.

Handle those matters directly with the casino.

Reporting a Problem

If something on this site appears incorrect or misleading, get in touch: info@gamblegrade.com

I review each report personally. If the facts hold up, the rating and information are corrected in the next monthly re-score.
