Primary evidence
We prioritise regulator registers, official decisions, legislation and public-health organisations.
Primary sources before claims
Our verification method
WORLD GAMBLING GUIDE separates legal status, commercial quality and editorial preference. None of these can be inferred from another.
Domain-level checks
We match the exact operating entity, domain, product and current licence status.
Editorial review
Regulatory claims remain source-based, dated, reviewed and open to correction.
Practical guide
How to read a verification claim
A useful record shows its source, scope and review date. A licence check and an assessment of service quality answer different questions.
Primary evidence first
Regulator registers, official decisions and public-health bodies take priority over advertising, copied badges and operator statements. A source can confirm one fact without endorsing the entire offer.
Keep claims within scope
We distinguish the legal entity, exact domain, permitted product, territory and date. A land-based permission does not automatically cover an online product, and an authorisation in one country does not travel with the brand.
Correct and revisit
Rules and registers change. Readers can report a broken source, outdated domain or factual error by email. A correction should update the affected claim and its review date.

Modification dates and evidence dates
The footer date describes a content change. It does not mean every licence was checked again that day. Directory consultation dates and source versions describe the available evidence. An old register does not guarantee current status.
Changes on 9 October 2026
Added the multi-account reconciliation with formula, reproducible example and limitations; practical routes on the home page; replaced advertising loading with account verification pending configured consent management. Regulatory source dates remain their consultation dates.
Images and evidence
AI-generated illustrations introduce a subject. They do not prove an on-site visit, an interview or the existence of a photographed team. Credits distinguish illustrations from documentary photographs. View image credits.
Traceability: what was compared on 6 October 2026
All 84 Ontario domains were compared with the holder and products in the register, which still reports 1 September 2026. The 16 French holders are compared with ANJ. The 16 Casino Rewards domains identify commercial membership, not local authorisations.
The 202-venue file is byte-for-byte identical to the ministry resource dated 11 August 2025. Administrative labels are preserved. Duplicate checks use department and venue, or jurisdiction and domain for online sites.
Reusing the land-venue list
The ministry dataset uses Licence Ouverte / Open Licence. Attribute the French Interior Ministry, source and file date when reusing it. The licence covers data and grants no rights to brand logos. data.gouv.fr

Data checks compare every Ontario domain with its holder and products in the accessed register. All land records are inspected for duplicates, missing fields and department consistency. A working source link is not content verification.
Sources and data explains corrections and limitations. Technical checks cover all routes in three languages: referenced images, internal links, anchors, canonical, hreflang and JSON-LD.
