How we review casinos
Every casino on Bankroll Bob is tested with real money by real players. No shortcuts, no paid rankings, no guesswork. Here's exactly how our process works.
What goes into every review
Every casino on this site goes through the same structured evaluation. We don't rank casinos based on marketing claims or affiliate payouts — we assess them against verifiable data and consistent criteria.
For every casino we review, we:
- Verify the licence — confirm regulatory status, check the issuing authority, and review complaint history
- Analyse the bonus structure — break down welcome offers, wagering requirements, time limits, max bet rules, and ongoing promotions
- Evaluate payment methods — check which methods are available for Canadian players, confirm CAD support, and document deposit/withdrawal limits
- Assess the game library — review provider quality, game count, category coverage, and whether popular titles are actually available in Canada
- Check mobile and site experience — test navigation, load times, and functionality across desktop and mobile
- Review customer support — evaluate availability, response channels, and how clearly support handles common player questions
- Evaluate responsible gambling tools — check for deposit limits, loss limits, session limits, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion options
All bonus details, payment limits, and terms are verified against the casino's own website and T&Cs. Reviews are updated at least quarterly to reflect any changes.
7 categories, scored out of 5
Every casino is rated across seven categories. Each category is scored on a scale of 0 to 5, and the overall rating is the average of all seven scores.
- Welcome Bonus & Promotions How generous is the welcome offer? What are the wagering requirements? Are ongoing promotions available, and are the terms fair? We look at the full picture — not just the headline number.
- Payments & Withdrawals Does the casino support Interac? What are the deposit and withdrawal limits? Are there fees? How quickly are withdrawals processed? We evaluate every payment method available to Canadian players.
- Games & Software Providers How many games are available? Which providers power the library? Is the selection genuinely varied or padded with low-quality titles? We assess provider quality, not just game count.
- Mobile & Site Experience How does the casino perform on mobile? Is there a dedicated app? Is navigation intuitive? Does the site load quickly? We evaluate on both desktop and mobile.
- Safety & Account Verification What licence does the casino hold? How does the KYC process work? Is SSL encryption in place? Are games RNG-tested? We verify the claims casinos make about security.
- Customer Support Is live chat available 24/7? What channels are offered? Are agents knowledgeable about bonuses, payments, and verification? We evaluate support based on real player scenarios.
- Responsible Gambling Does the casino offer deposit limits, loss limits, session limits, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion? Are these tools easy to find and activate? Casinos that hide or lack responsible gambling tools receive lower scores.

Our commitments to readers
- We never accept payment for higher ratings. Casinos cannot buy a better score.
- We always disclose affiliate relationships. We earn commissions when readers sign up through our links, and we're upfront about it.
- We never use "guaranteed win" language. Gambling involves risk. We say so on every page.
- We always state wagering requirements. If a bonus has conditions, we explain them clearly.
- We flag unverified data. If we can't confirm a claim, we say so rather than presenting it as fact.
- Every review goes through human review. No review is published without being checked by a member of our team.
Staying current
Casino terms change. Bonuses expire. Payment speeds shift. Support quality fluctuates.
We revisit every reviewed casino at least once per quarter. If a casino's terms change significantly between reviews, we update the relevant sections and note the change. Our ratings reflect the current experience, not a snapshot from months ago.
Discalmer
Bankroll Bob is an affiliate site. We earn commissions when readers sign up at casinos through our links. This does not affect our ratings, which are based on structured evaluation against consistent criteria. All content is intended for adults who meet the legal gambling age in their province (18+ in AB, MB, QC; 19+ in all other provinces). Gambling involves risk — only play with money you can afford to lose.
FAQs
Find answers to what matters most when choosing a casino
Usually two to four weeks. We need time to deposit, play across the game library, contact support with real questions, and complete at least one withdrawal cycle. Anything faster and we'd be guessing.
Because trustworthiness isn't one thing — it's the sum of bonuses, payments, games, mobile, safety, support, and responsible gambling tools. A casino can ace one category and fail another. The seven-category breakdown shows you exactly where each operator stands instead of hiding everything behind a single star rating.
Confirmed unpaid withdrawals, a missing or revoked licence, predatory bonus terms we can document, or unresolved player complaints with no path to resolution. If we find any of those, the casino doesn't make it to publication — we'd rather have a shorter list of operators we trust than a longer one with bad ones in it.
Yes. We re-check every reviewed casino at least every six months, and sooner if we hear of changes — new licence status, withdrawal complaints, ownership changes. Reviews are dated so you can see when each one was last verified.
No. We earn affiliate commissions when readers sign up through our links, but the commercial relationship has no bearing on the scoring. A casino that pays well but treats players badly will score low. A casino that pays modest commissions but runs an honest operation will score well. The methodology is the methodology.
