Method: sources, registries, dates and what we do not do
Review Standings uses provincial registries as a gate, takes facts from first-hand sources, and puts a source and a date beside each one. Registry entries and review pages are rechecked at least every 30 days. We do not test products, publish odds or promo codes, or accept payment for a position. This is version 1.0 of the method, dated 2026-11-13.

Which sources come first
- Regulators and registries. AGCO, iGaming Ontario, AGLC, AiGC, IGCO, BCLC, Loto-Québec, Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries.
- The operator's own documents. Terms, payments, rules, app store pages.
- Statutes and standards. The Criminal Code, the Competition Act, AGCO standards.
- Review pages. Used only to record what they say about themselves.
Takeaway: a higher source overrides a lower one, and a review site never overrides a registry.
The registry is a gate
An operator appears for a province only if that province's list shows it: iGaming Ontario for ON, the AiGC list for AB, the provincial operator for BC, MB and QC. Status is kept by province. Steps: checking registration.

One claim, one source, one date
Every figure, term or status carries a source address and the date we read it. Worked examples are labelled "Example (not an offer)". Where a value could not be confirmed we write "Not confirmed as of [date]" and leave it out of any score.
What we do not do
- We do not test products, register accounts or place bets.

- We do not accept payment for a position.
- We do not call any site official, and this is not an official site of any operator or regulator.

FAQ
Do you test sportsbooks?
No. We read documents and registries; we did not test the product. Nothing on this site comes from our own bets, deposits or withdrawals.
What counts as a first-hand source?
A regulator's page, a registry, an operator's own terms, a league's schedule or a statute. A review site is a source only for what it says about itself.
How often are facts rechecked?
Registry entries and review pages are rechecked after 30 days at most. For other kinds of facts, the interval is not fixed yet.
Can an operator pay for a better position?
No. Order follows published criteria, never commission, and payment for position is not accepted. Details are on the advertising disclosure page.
How do I report a mistake?
Use the corrections page. We aim to fix a factual error within two working days.
