Who We Are
Welcome to BetQC — your independent source for online casino reviews in Canada and the USA. Our team of casino specialists has been testing and ranking online gambling platforms since 2019. We are not owned by any casino operator, and we do not accept payment for rankings. Our ratings are determined entirely by our evaluation criteria.
The BetQC Score: Our Rating Methodology
Every casino in our directory receives a BetQC Score out of 10, calculated from four weighted pillars. We test each casino with a real account and real deposits before publishing any review.
🛡️ Pillar 1 — Licensing & Security (30%)
We check for a valid licence from a recognised gambling regulator such as the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), or the Kahnawake Gaming Commission. We also verify SSL encryption, responsible gaming tools (deposit limits, self-exclusion), and data privacy compliance.
💰 Pillar 2 — Bonuses & Fairness (25%)
We read the complete terms and conditions of every bonus. Wagering requirements under 30x are scored positively; requirements above 50x are penalised. We also check for game weighting restrictions, time limits, and maximum bet rules. A generous headline bonus with punishing terms scores lower than a modest bonus with clear, fair conditions.
⚡ Pillar 3 — Payouts & Banking (25%)
We test real withdrawals. We measure time from withdrawal request to funds received, check for hidden fees, and evaluate the range of payment methods including e-wallets, bank transfer, and cryptocurrency. Casinos that consistently pay within 24 hours receive the highest scores in this pillar.
🎮 Pillar 4 — Games & Experience (20%)
We evaluate the depth of the game library (slots, table games, live dealer, sports betting), mobile compatibility, and the quality of customer support. We contact support at least three times per casino and score response time and accuracy.
Our Promise
We update our rankings every week. If a casino changes ownership, faces regulatory action, or receives a pattern of player complaints, it is removed or downgraded immediately regardless of any commercial relationship. Casinos that pay higher affiliate commissions do not receive higher scores.
