Editorial policy at Fair Payout Casinos Canada

This site evaluates online casinos with a specific focus on payout fairness. Our editorial checklist includes three payout-specific criteria: confirmation that the casino deploys the highest available RTP build for each game title, third-party audit certification covering real payout rates, and a withdrawal record that matches the timelines published in the casino's own terms and conditions.

Confirming RTP build selection is a technical step that most review sites skip entirely. Game studios publish multiple versions of the same slot title at different payout rates; a studio might distribute a game at 96.5% to some operators and at 92.1% to others. Which version a casino runs is partly an operator choice. We favour casinos that publicly commit to the highest available version and whose published audit reports are consistent with that commitment.

Revenue on this site comes in part from affiliate commissions. A commission is earned when a reader clicks through to a casino from our pages and registers a real-money account. We accept these commissions from every casino on our list. The position of a casino in our rankings is determined by our assessment criteria — not by the size of the commission it pays. Commissions are received at standard rates regardless of ranking.

All payout-related claims in our reviews are sourced from one of three places: the casino's published payout audit report, data from a recognised independent testing laboratory, or our own verified withdrawal experience. We do not report payout figures based on what the casino claims in its marketing materials without cross-referencing at least one external source.

Writers on this site regularly make deposits and submit withdrawal requests at the casinos they review. The smooth verification process — submitting identity documentation and having it reviewed and accepted — is part of the standard review checklist. A casino that introduces unnecessary friction during this process receives a lower rating in our banking assessment, regardless of how strong its stated payout figures are.

Correction requests are welcomed and investigated promptly. If you believe a payout figure in one of our reviews is wrong — because you have access to updated audit data or because your personal experience consistently contradicts our reported timeline — write to us with specifics. If the evidence supports a change, the review is updated and the correction is clearly noted.

Our editorial team is not affiliated with any casino operator, software provider, or affiliate marketing network beyond the individual commission arrangements disclosed on our pages. Staffing, methodology development, and all editorial decisions are handled exclusively within the team.
