eCheckCasinos.ca Ethics Policy

When our veteran analysts conduct in-depth evaluations on online casinos to determine suitability for potential inclusion in our recommendation catalogs, business incentives hold zero influence over ratings whatsoever:

  • Affiliate program commissions/partnerships have no tie to if our team elects to endorse a given site or platform.
  • External sites or parent guarantors cannot influence ratings through financial motivations or negotiated terms around visibility. Ratings cannot be bought.

Transparent Backgrounds

  • You deserve visibility into qualifications and expertise levels of authors guiding your entertainment dollars so you can weigh validity of advice against your risk tolerance:
  • Writer backgrounds get shared directly on both author pages as well as bios preceding main reviews. We believe directly stating individual expertise, years assessing sites, motivations and potential subjective biases establishes reader faith.
  • Determine if perspectives align closely enough for your needs. Seek second opinions if uncertain investing deposits. Credible consistency matters most.

Accountability Around Corrections

  • In rare cases we make factual mistakes, swift corrections and apologies follow through notifications from us. Taking ownership reinforces attention to accuracy.
  • You keep us accountable through feedback channels calling out inconsistencies so we can improve. External oversight makes us better through transparency.

Prioritizing Responsible Play

Safety-First Analysis Frameworks

While needing revenue through advertising to operate, safeguarding readers significantly outweighs profits:

  • Our endorsement qualifications shine light on critical tools better sites offer around enforcing healthy play time through mandated deposit limits, timeout periods after losses and self-exclusion options.
  • Secure platform options should lead the market. We provide guidance identifying key safety differences between brands you might consider, not just surface commentary on available games for entertainment sake.

Connecting You to Accredited Problem Gambling Resources

We know balanced perspectives help avoidance. As such, our research team compiles guides and materials focused on self-awareness around problem signs and accredited support options specific to your geography/background through collaborations with regulated bodies. We want you empowered with control levers.

Advocating Stringent Industry Responsibility Standards

All contracted writers undergo refreshed training on safe coverage best practices stemming from guidance by our institute partners. We target appropriate scope for reviews avoiding reinforcement of hazardous perceptions. Additionally, we continually advise regulators on policy gaps from player perspectives so Canadians nationwide benefit.

Shaping Our Business Decisions Around You First

Focusing on Social Impacts

As an influence site ourselves requiring trust, we assess partnerships, practices and positions based on positive public impacts ahead of convenience or budget. Same with compensation policies. This manifests through:

  • Proactively identifying unethical loopholes sites exploit that regulators miss, then advocating changes protecting player dollars over our short term revenue if need be.
  • Compensating staff fairly for expertise provided commensurate with value added. We believe credibility starts internally before external practices.

Emphasizing Privacy & Choice

We take precautions around reader data security every bit as seriously as if our team’s collectively highly sensitive details were at stake. To us, valued individuals drive this business – not faceless revenue metrics.

Please reach out with any ideas strengthening our capability protecting players or concerns falling short so we can address issues directly through open communication. Your voice matters most!
