How to cite TrustFacts

Link the review URL, quote the integer Gauge as n/100 with the last-tested date, and name the market desk. Don’t invent a score, convert it to stars, or treat an Ontario iGO brand as legal in Alberta. The same logo on another URL is a different company.

Preferred citation

This is desk style. Swap in the name, score, and URL of the file you’re quoting.

Rules

• The Gauge is editorial, and player reviews don’t move it.
• Affiliate hops, when present, are disclosed. They aren’t an endorsement.
• Crypto payout speed is not a licence.
• A United States file is not the Ontario iGO file. Cite /casino/betmgm for US BetMGM (91) and /casino/betmgm-casino for Ontario (93).
• If the score moved, cite the changelog event, not a screenshot of an old table.
• A rest-of-Canada hop is not legal cover in Ontario or Alberta.

Pages worth linking

If you’re citing TrustFacts once, pick the page that matches your claim. These 12 pages are the ones worth pointing to.

1. 1

   The Gauge

   https://www.trustfacts.ca/methodology

   The Gauge: seven pillars, 30 signals, max 100. Licensing 15, payments 15, safety 15, fairness 15, transparency 15, RG 15, complaints 10.

2. 2

   Trust Gauge CSV

   https://www.trustfacts.ca/data/trust-gauge.csv

   Machine-readable 0–100 scores. Cite the review URL plus the integer. Rank is never sold.

3. 3

   Best online casinos in Canada, 2026

   https://www.trustfacts.ca/canada

   Canada is four licences, not one ranking table, a legal framing other listicles skip.

4. 4

   Ontario iGO desk

   https://www.trustfacts.ca/ontario

   Answers the highest-intent commercial query: the best casino in Ontario, Canada. iGO-only, and a Curaçao footer isn’t legal here.

5. 5

   How to spot a safe online casino

   https://www.trustfacts.ca/guides/how-to-spot-safe-casinos

   A 12-minute checklist that doesn’t depend on who paid for #1. RG and personal-finance sites cite it.

6. 6

   Editorial guidelines

   https://www.trustfacts.ca/editorial-guidelines

   YMYL independence policy: scores are not for sale, hops are disclosed, corrections are public.

7. 7

   Alberta AGLC desk

   https://www.trustfacts.ca/alberta-casinos

   Private market from 13 July 2026. AGLC-only. An Ontario iGO URL is not an Alberta licence.

8. 8

   United States desk

   https://www.trustfacts.ca/united-states

   21+, state-licensed real-money iGaming, with no federal licence. The same logo in Ontario is a sister Trust Gauge, so cite the US review URL.

9. 9

   Is Stake legal in Ontario?

   https://www.trustfacts.ca/blog/is-stake-legal-in-ontario

   A high-intent question VPN blogs currently rank for. The direct answer is no, and a Gauge isn’t a licence.

10. 10

    Is Stake legal in Alberta?

    https://www.trustfacts.ca/blog/is-stake-legal-in-alberta

    No, not yet. As of 12 October 2026, AGLC lists Stake Canada Ltd. as an iGaming Operator, no parent named, but Stake is not on AiGC’s registered-sites list. TrustFacts does not assert a launch date. Gauge 98 is not a licence.

11. 11

    TrustFacts vs other review sites

    https://www.trustfacts.ca/blog/casino-review-sites-canada

    Compares the Gauge with AskGamblers, Casino.org, and Casino Guru on method, hops, and the four Canadian regimes. Not a #1 claim.

12. 12

    Is online gambling legal in Alberta?

    https://www.trustfacts.ca/blog/is-online-gambling-legal-in-alberta

    Fresh market (13 July 2026). PlayAlberta plus AGLC / AiGC — not Ontario iGO.

The Gauge: methodology. Corrections: changelog. Who scores: the desk.
