Terms and Conditions
These terms and conditions set out the rules for using aptsec.org, an independent review and comparison site covering online casinos available to players across Canada. By browsing this site, reading our reviews or clicking through to any operator we mention, you accept the terms below. If you don't agree with them, please don't use the site.
What Social Casinos is - and what it isn't
Social Casinos is a media and information site. We publish research, comparisons and editorial ratings covering online casino brands, their bonus offers, game libraries and payment options relevant to Canadian players. We do not operate a casino, we do not accept wagers, and we do not process deposits or withdrawals on behalf of any reader. Any account you open, any money you deposit and any bet you place happens directly with the operator you choose, under that operator's own terms - not ours.
For a full breakdown of how the featured brands compare on welcome offers and free spins, see our Online Casinos in Canada: Best Free Spins Bonuses Compared page.
How our ratings and rankings work
The casinos referenced on this site, including brands such as Cashed, SlotsGem, WinnerIsland, Betninja and others listed in our tables, are assessed and rated by our editorial team based on publicly available information about their bonus terms, game selection, payment options and general market reputation. Ratings are our own opinion at the time of research and are not a guarantee of any outcome if you sign up. A high editorial rating reflects how a brand compares against others we've reviewed - it is not financial, legal or gambling advice, and it should not be treated as a personal recommendation.
Offer details such as bonus percentages, free spin counts and deposit match figures are published as supplied by the operator at the time our page was last checked. These figures change frequently and without notice. Always confirm the current offer, its wagering requirements and its expiry directly on the operator's own site before you deposit.
Commercial relationships and affiliate links
Social Casinos may earn a commission when a reader clicks through to a featured casino and creates an account. This is how independent comparison sites like ours are funded, and it does not cost you anything extra to use these links. Commission arrangements never determine an operator's editorial rating or its position in our tables - a brand cannot pay to rank higher, and we will note a genuine weakness in a review even where a commercial relationship exists.
No guarantee of accuracy, availability or outcome
We take reasonable care to keep information on this site accurate and current as of the date each page was last updated, but online casino terms, bonus offers, game catalogues and payment methods change on the operator's side, sometimes without warning. We cannot guarantee that:
- Any bonus, free spins offer or promotion described on this site is still available when you visit the operator
- A brand's licensing status, game library or payment options remain exactly as described
- Any casino featured here will accept players from your specific province, or that your outcome from playing will match anyone else's
You are responsible for verifying an operator's current terms, eligibility rules and licensing before you register or deposit. Social Casinos accepts no liability for losses, disputes or dissatisfaction arising from your dealings with any third-party casino.
Age, eligibility and legal responsibility
This site, and the online casinos it discusses, are intended only for readers who have reached the legal age for gambling in their province and who are legally permitted to gamble online under the rules that apply to them. It is your responsibility to confirm that online casino play is lawful in your circumstances and to comply with any registration, identity-verification or responsible-gambling requirements set by the operator you choose. Nothing on this site should be read as encouragement to gamble beyond what you can afford, and readers concerned about their gambling habits, or those of someone close to them, should consult our Responsible Gambling page.
Intellectual property
The text, ratings, comparisons and layout on aptsec.org are the property of Social Casinos unless otherwise credited. You may link to our pages and quote short excerpts with attribution, but you may not republish our reviews, tables or ratings in full, or present them as your own, without our written permission.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Social Casinos and its operators are not liable for any direct, indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of this site or your reliance on any information, review or rating published here, including losses connected to gambling activity carried out with a third-party operator. Use of this site, and any subsequent decision to sign up with a casino we mention, is entirely at your own discretion and risk.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms and conditions from time to time to reflect changes in our editorial process, our commercial arrangements or the wider regulatory environment. The version published on this page is the one that applies at the time you visit, and the "updated" date at the top of the page reflects when it was last revised. We'd encourage you to check back periodically if you're a regular reader.
