About Online Casinos Québec
An independent editorial team covering online casinos for Quebec, built around a market most sites treat as an afterthought to the rest of Canada.
Why this site exists
Most sites covering online casinos in Canada write for Ontario first and translate the leftovers for everyone else, Quebec included. We built this one the other way around: Quebec's own legal texture — the Espacejeux monopoly, the 2018 Superior Court ruling that left offshore casinos in a tolerated grey zone, a Kahnawake-licensed regulator with real local roots just outside Montreal — is the starting point, not a footnote.
That means covering both halves of the market honestly. Espacejeux is the only fully provincially-licensed option, and we say so plainly. The offshore and Kahnawake-licensed casinos most Quebec players actually use sit outside that provincial licensing regime, in a space that's tolerated in practice rather than formally sanctioned — no Quebec player has ever been prosecuted for using one. We explain that distinction in full on our Espacejeux vs. offshore casinos page rather than picking a side and pretending the other doesn't exist.
Who publishes this site
Online Casinos Québec is owned and operated by Jordi Walker, Suite 203-10110 124 St NW, Edmonton, Alberta, T5N 1P6 — the same publishing entity named in our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. Day-to-day content is produced by an editorial team writing under a shared editorial voice rather than individual bylines, so that a review reads the same whether it was drafted this month or updated six months from now. Reach the publisher directly through our contact page.
How we test
Every casino on this site is scored against the same five criteria, detailed in full on our methodology page: an active, verifiable gambling licence; a real test withdrawal, timed from request to funds landing, not a number taken from a casino's own marketing; genuine Interac or e-Transfer support rather than a payment method listed but rarely usable; French-language support we've actually tested with a real agent, not a translated help page; and a game library we've browsed ourselves. A casino isn't ranked until all five have been checked, and scores move when something material changes — a licence lapses, a payout method disappears, support quality slips.
We re-test the full roster at least once a month, and sooner than that whenever we have reason to think something has changed at a specific operator. That's also why every casino's individual review page shows the five-criterion breakdown rather than just a single total score: two casinos can land close to each other overall for genuinely different reasons, and the breakdown is where that actually shows instead of getting flattened into one number.
Editorial independence
No casino operator has editorial input into its own review, its score, or where it lands in our ranking. Ranking order is set by the five-criterion scoring above, not by which operator pays the highest commission — a lower-commission casino can and does outrank a higher-commission one when its testing results say it should. If a casino's real-world performance changes for the worse, its score reflects that even if the change affects its own commission relationship with us.
This independence is also why our affiliate relationship is disclosed on every single page of this site, not tucked away on one policy page you'd have to go looking for — see the compliance line under each ranking or offer for the exact wording, or the full disclosure on our Terms of Use page.
Corrections policy
We get things wrong occasionally — a payout method changes, a licence status updates, a number goes stale before our next scheduled re-test. If you spot something inaccurate or out of date on this site, tell us through the contact page with the specific page and claim in question. We verify it against the operator directly where possible and correct the page; we don't leave known errors live while a broader update is pending, and a correction to a review's score carries through to every other page on this site that references it — the ranking, the comparison tables, and the homepage podium are all generated from the same underlying data rather than maintained as separate, driftable copies.
How we make money
We earn a commission when a reader signs up with an operator through a link on this site, at no cost to the reader. That's disclosed in full on our Terms of Use page and in the footer of every page on this site. It has no bearing on how operators are scored or ranked, as covered above under editorial independence.
