How We Rate Operators At Strafe Ontario

First and foremost, we take the steps needed to confirm that a betting website is legit and trustworthy. After all, there's real money at stake, and your personal information could be at risk too. Therefore, the first step of our review process is to check for an online gambling licence.

We don't look for just any licence either; what we want to see is one that's been issued by a trustworthy regulator. The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, Malta Gaming Authority, and UK Gambling Commission are considered the gold standards of iGaming licences, so we like to find operators with these licences.

Another factor that we pay attention to is security. The betting websites featured here at Strafe are not only honest and fair, but they also have sophisticated security measures such as SSL encryption and firewalls in place to protect you from hackers or harmful third parties. So before we make any recommendations, you can be sure that the safety of your money and personal information is a top priority.

Every player has different preferences when it comes to making deposits and withdrawals at betting websites. Some like to pay with traditional methods such as Visa and Mastercard, but others prefer to use innovative methods such as PayPal, Skrill, and Neteller. Because of this, we always check that betting websites offer a nice variety of payment options.

While everyone has different preferences in terms of payment methods, one thing we can all agree upon is that sluggish deposit and payout times aren't acceptable. All bettors want to get in on the action as quickly as possible, and they also want to get their winnings without delay.

Therefore, payment speed is a key area of focus in our review process. If we find websites that are happy to process your deposits quickly but fall short of the mark when processing your payouts, you can be sure that it affects our rating.

At the heart of any sportsbook or online casino is the betting opportunities. The more sports, games, and odds at your disposal, the more likely you are to find betting opportunities that suit your playing style. Online casinos should offer a variety of high-quality games in categories such as slots, table games, and live casino games. And when it comes to online sportsbooks, they should provide competitive odds on various sports and markets.

It doesn't stop there; we like to see websites catering to their audience. For example, Canadian bookmakers should cover the most popular Canadian sports, such as ice hockey, soccer, baseball, and cricket. Not only do we focus on the variety of betting options, but we also consider the ease of finding exactly what you're looking for. It's all good having an abundance of betting opportunities. However, if the interface isn't intuitive or easy to use, it will affect our rating.
