What are TrustFacts guides for?

Licence checks, withdrawals, deposit limits, self-exclusion, and help lines — without a bonus module in the way. They are not a ranking table and not a licence. Method: The Gauge.

Do these guides replace the provincial register?

No. Ontario is iGO only, 19+. Alberta is AGLC only, 18+. British Columbia is PlayNow, 19+. Quebec is Espacejeux, 18+. Confirm the live register before you deposit.

Can TrustFacts freeze my account or recover a deposit?

No. We publish scores. Use the operator tool, then the help line for the market you sit in. Start with support resources.

How to check a casino is legitimate in Canada
Check the live provincial register first. Ontario is iGaming Ontario, 19+. Alberta is AGLC, 18+. British Columbia is PlayNow, 19+. Quebec is Espacejeux, 18+. Then use a method-first score: the TrustFacts Trust Gauge, seven pillars and 30 signals, additive max 100. Rank is never sold. TrustFacts is not a regulator.

Who these guides are not for

If you need a scored list, use the Trust Gauge index. If you need a licensed-market cashier, start on Ontario or Alberta. Confirm the live register before you deposit.
