First-hand testing methodology

Operator review pages on Due North Odds are based on first-hand observation, not marketing material. A named reviewer visits each operator’s Ontario site and records what is actually shown, so every published detail can be traced to a dated, captured source.

Who tests

Testing is carried out by a named human reviewer, credited on each review page together with the date of the visit. Observations are recorded first-hand and are never copied from an operator’s promotional copy or from third-party affiliate sites.

What we capture

For each operator we record dated screenshots of the public site and the registration flow — for example the game categories that are offered, the customer-support channels, and the operator’s logo. Each recorded fact is published with its source and the date it was observed, alongside the registration status we verify against the official iGaming Ontario register.

Scope and limits

• Coverage is limited to operators registered with iGaming Ontario.
• We record each operator’s public site and its registration / onboarding flow, and we verify its registration status against the official iGaming Ontario register. We do not complete real-money play, and we do not carry out deposit or withdrawal testing, because that requires Ontario residency — so banking and cash-out details are out of scope.
• We respect every age, identity, and residency check — we never bypass them — and we never record the personal information of any individual.
• Each observation reflects a point in time; an operator may change its site after the recorded date, so facts carry the date they were observed.
