Editorial Policy

Our Editorial Mission

Eileananbreagha exists to help Canadian players make informed decisions about online casinos. Every piece of content we publish — from in-depth reviews to strategy guides — is held to the same standard of accuracy, transparency, and genuine value.

We believe that Canadian players deserve reliable, unbiased information when choosing where to play. Our editorial team is committed to delivering honest assessments, even when that means giving a lower rating to a casino that offers us a higher commission. The trust of our readers always comes first.

Editorial Independence

Our reviews and ratings are completely independent from casino operators. No casino can pay for a higher rating or a more favorable review. This principle is non-negotiable.

Affiliate commissions fund our operations — including the real-money testing we conduct for every review — but they have zero influence on editorial judgment. Our editorial team operates independently from our business development team and has sole authority over all published content.

Ratings are determined solely by our 100-point scoring methodology. A casino's willingness or unwillingness to partner with us commercially has no bearing on its score, ranking, or the tone of our review.

Our 100-Point Rating Methodology

Every casino we review is evaluated using a standardised 100-point scoring system across six weighted categories. This methodology ensures consistency and fairness across all reviews.

Each casino is scored across all six categories to produce a composite score out of 100. This score is then translated to our star rating system. We re-evaluate scores quarterly to ensure they reflect the current state of each casino.

How We Test

Every review on Eileananbreagha is based on documented first-hand experience. We do not simply aggregate other reviews or rely on marketing materials. Our testing process involves real money and real time.

For each casino we review, our team:

• Creates a real account using a Canadian identity and address
• Deposits real funds in CAD using multiple methods — Interac, credit card, cryptocurrency, and e-wallets where available
• Plays games across categories including slots, table games, and live dealer
• Tests withdrawal speeds and processes for each available banking method
• Contacts customer support at different hours (including evenings and weekends) via live chat, email, and phone
• Evaluates the mobile experience on multiple devices (iOS and Android, phone and tablet)
• Verifies all advertised bonus terms, wagering requirements, and promotional claims

Every claim in a review is based on this documented first-hand experience. If we cannot verify something ourselves, we say so explicitly.

Our Review Process

Each casino review follows a rigorous multi-step process from start to publication:

1. 1
   Initial Research — Verify licensing, ownership, operating history, and player reputation across forums and complaint databases.
2. 2
   Account Creation — Register a real account, complete KYC verification, and document the onboarding experience.
3. 3
   Deposit Testing — Test all available CAD deposit methods, noting processing times, fees, and minimum/maximum limits.
4. 4
   Game Testing — Play a representative sample across slots, table games, live dealer, and specialty games. Evaluate quality, variety, and fairness.
5. 5
   Withdrawal Testing — Request withdrawals via multiple methods, track processing times, and verify funds received in full.
6. 6
   Support Evaluation — Contact support with real questions at different times of day. Assess response speed, accuracy, and helpfulness.
7. 7
   Score Calculation — Apply our 100-point methodology to produce an objective composite score.
8. 8
   Peer Review — A second editor reviews all findings, verifies claims, and checks for accuracy and tone before approval.
9. 9
   Publication — The review is published with a clear date stamp. Reviews are updated quarterly or whenever significant changes occur at the casino.

Fact-Checking & Accuracy

Accuracy is the foundation of our credibility. All bonus amounts, wagering requirements, minimum deposits, withdrawal limits, and terms are verified directly with casino sites before publication.

Our fact-checking process includes:

• Cross-referencing casino terms and conditions at the time of writing
• Verifying licensing status with relevant regulatory bodies (e.g., Kahnawake, Curacao)
• Confirming payout percentages with independent testing agencies where available
• Reviewing all statistics and claims against primary sources

If a reader reports an inaccuracy, we investigate and correct within 48 hours. Casino terms can change without notice, and we take every report seriously. Corrections are noted with an update date on the affected content.

Correction Policy

If we publish incorrect information, we correct it promptly and transparently. We do not silently edit content or remove reviews to avoid accountability.

Our correction process:

• All corrections are marked with an updated date on the article
• Material corrections (those that could affect a reader's decision) include a note explaining what changed and why
• Minor corrections (typos, formatting) are fixed without a separate notation
• We maintain a record of all material corrections made

Readers can report errors or outdated information to editorial@eileananbreagha.ca. We review every report and respond within 2 business days.

Author Qualifications

All content on Eileananbreagha is written by named experts with verifiable experience in the online gambling industry. We believe that transparency about who creates our content is essential for reader trust.

Our editorial standards for authors include:

• All content carries a named byline — we do not publish anonymous reviews or guides
• Author profiles are available at /authors with credentials, expertise areas, and years of experience
• Writers have demonstrable expertise in their subject areas, whether that is casino operations, game strategy, payment systems, or responsible gambling
• We do not publish AI-generated content without thorough expert review, fact-checking, and editorial oversight

Every review and guide goes through our peer review process, where a second qualified editor verifies accuracy and quality before publication.

Affiliate Disclosure

Eileananbreagha earns commissions when readers click casino links on our site and subsequently register or make deposits at those operators. This is standard industry practice and is how we fund our independent testing, research, and content creation.

To be unambiguously clear, affiliate relationships never influence:

• Which casinos we review — We review casinos based on relevance to Canadian players, not partnership status
• The ratings we assign — Scores are determined solely by our 100-point methodology
• The content of our reviews — We report what we find, positive or negative, regardless of commercial relationships

We include affiliate disclosures on every page that contains casino links, consistent with Canadian advertising standards and our commitment to transparency.

Responsible Gambling Commitment

We take responsible gambling seriously. Gambling should be entertainment, not a source of financial stress. Our commitment to player welfare is reflected throughout every piece of content we produce.

Every review and guide on Eileananbreagha includes responsible gambling resources. We actively promote:

• Setting deposit and loss limits before playing
• Never gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
• Recognising the signs of problem gambling
• Taking breaks and using self-exclusion tools when needed

If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling, help is available:
