About Rchd

Rchd is presented as an independent editorial team creating casino guides for adult players in Canada. Our mission is to make casino comparisons clearer through documented research, consistent review criteria, and transparent disclosure of commercial relationships; readers should be able to see how we evaluate sites and verify important details for themselves.

Our Mission and Independence

Rchd is dedicated to empowering Canadian adults with clear, unbiased comparisons of online casino options, keeping editorial judgments independent from any commercial relationships. While we may receive referral commissions when users follow our links, those payments never influence the ratings or recommendations we provide. Sponsored content and affiliate links are clearly marked so visitors can distinguish them from editorial material.

How We Review Casinos

  • We verify every casino's license, ensuring it's authorized for Canadian players and complies with local regulations.
  • Our team tests account creation, deposit/withdrawal methods, game selection, bonus offers, support responsiveness, and responsible‑gambling features.
  • Findings are logged, flagged as hands‑on testing or desk research, and updated whenever casino terms or platforms change.

How We Rate Casinos

  • We use a 1‑10 scale for each criterion and apply weighted averages to calculate a composite score.
  • Regulatory licensing, payment reliability, bonus fairness, game variety, site usability, support responsiveness and player‑protection features are all evaluated.
  • A high overall score reflects strong performance across metrics but does not guarantee any individual player's experience.

Responsible Gambling

Gambling involves financial risk and is only for adults; keep play within personal time and spending limits, take regular breaks, and stop if it becomes a problem. For assistance, visit the Responsible Gambling Council's <a href="https://www.rgc.ca/self-exclusion">Canadian help and self‑exclusion</a> page and check your province or territory's responsible‑gambling resources, as programs vary across locations.
