Press covers one narrow question in depth: what an online casino actually costs a Canadian player, measured in the percentage it returns and the time it takes to pay. Everything else about this category is already covered loudly and badly elsewhere.
The name is the argument. A press extracts everything from what goes into it, and that is what a player should expect from a bankroll: the most return per dollar wagered, and the money out without a week of waiting.
Five weighted criteria, published in full on the how we rate payout speed page. Payout times are recorded as two separate numbers, operator approval and money in account, because collapsing them is how the word instant gets used loosely. Return percentages come from published game rules and paytables rather than from operator marketing.
Some links to operators are commercial. If you register through one, we may be paid a commission, at no cost to you. That is the entire business model, and it funds the testing.
What it does not do is decide what we write. The criteria and their weightings were set before any operator was assessed against them, and they apply identically to brands we have a commercial relationship with and brands we do not. Where an offer is bad we say so.
Every game covered here has a negative expectation, which is the mathematical way of saying the house keeps a share of everything wagered. The percentages on this site describe what the entertainment costs, not a route to profit. If gambling has stopped being entertainment, the tools and provincial help lines are listed on our responsible gambling page.
