Terms and Conditions
These terms and conditions govern your use of sceneandheard.ca (the "Site"). By accessing or using this Site, you agree to be bound by everything set out below. If you do not agree, please stop using the Site immediately. If you have questions about anything here, you are welcome to contact us directly.
Who We Are
sceneandheard.ca is an independent comparison and review website covering online casinos available to players in Canada. Our editorial team researches, reviews and ranks casino products to help Canadian readers make informed choices. You can read more about our approach on our About Us page.
Acceptance of These Terms
Your continued use of this Site, whether you are browsing reviews, following external links or reading our editorial content, constitutes acceptance of these terms in full. We reserve the right to update or amend these terms at any time. The date shown at the top of this page reflects when the terms were last reviewed. It is your responsibility to check for changes.
Affiliate and Commercial Disclosure
Some of the casino brands featured on this Site pay us a commission when you click through to their site and register or deposit. This is how we fund our editorial operation. You will never be charged by us; any commercial relationship is between this Site and the casino operator.
This commercial arrangement does not determine how casinos are ranked. Our rankings reflect an independent editorial assessment based on factors such as bonus value and conditions, game range, payment options, licensing and overall player experience. Commission does not buy position. You can find a fuller explanation of how we evaluate casinos on our best online casinos in Canada page.
Information Accuracy and Editorial Standards
We make every reasonable effort to keep the information on this Site accurate and current. Casino offers, bonus terms, payment methods and promotional conditions change frequently; details published here may not reflect the most current position at any given casino. Always verify the full terms directly with the casino operator before registering or depositing.
- Ratings shown are editorial assessments by our team, not aggregated customer-review scores.
- Advertised bonus amounts reflect headline offers; material conditions — including wagering requirements, minimum deposits and eligible games — apply and are set by the operator.
- We do not guarantee that any offer listed on this Site is available to you personally. Eligibility depends on your province of residence, your history with the operator and the operator's own terms.
- We have not personally deposited, played or withdrawn at every casino we review. Our assessments are based on documented research and publicly available information.
No Financial or Legal Advice
Nothing on sceneandheard.ca constitutes financial, legal or gambling advice. Our content is informational and comparative. Any decision to register at a casino, deposit funds or claim a bonus is made entirely at your own risk. We accept no liability for losses, disputes or other outcomes arising from your use of a casino featured on this Site.
Eligibility and Age Verification
Online casino gambling is subject to age restrictions across all Canadian provinces. You must be of legal gambling age in your province or territory to register at any casino. The minimum age is 19 in most provinces, and 18 in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec. It is a criminal offence to gamble online if you are underage. We do not knowingly publish content directed at minors, and we encourage every reader to verify the age and eligibility rules that apply to them before proceeding.
Casino operators are also required to verify your identity before processing withdrawals. This typically involves providing government-issued photo ID, proof of address and, in some cases, proof of the payment method used. Delays in providing this documentation can delay withdrawals.
Provincial and Regulatory Context
Online gambling regulation in Canada is primarily a provincial matter. Some provinces operate their own licensed platforms; others permit residents to play at internationally licensed operators. It is your responsibility to understand the legal position in your province before registering at any casino. We do not confirm the licensing or regulatory status of any individual operator on your behalf — check the operator's own site for current licence information.
