At the Centre for Global Inclusion, we help Canadian players find safe, fast-paying online casinos with fair bonuses and real, unbiased reviews. Our goal is simple: give you the clarity and confidence to play online, knowing exactly what to expect from each platform. Whether you’re a beginner exploring your first casino or a seasoned gamer chasing the best RTPs, we’ve got you covered.
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower Canadian players with transparent, evidence-based insights into online casinos. We exist to make online gaming safer, clearer, and more enjoyable by providing honest reviews, breaking down bonus terms, and highlighting responsible gambling practices. Every guide and review is crafted to give players confidence in their choices and a fun, fair gaming experience.
Our Story
The Centre for Global Inclusion was born out of frustration with confusing, biased, and incomplete online casino reviews. Many sites made grand promises but left players in the dark about payout speed, wagering requirements, or game fairness. We set out to fix that.
Timeline Highlights:
- 2023: Centre for Global Inclusion was founded by Johnnie Delacruz to bring clarity to Canadian online casinos.
- 2024: Launched our first full review suite covering top Canadian casinos, complete with bonus breakdowns and banking guides.
- 2025: Expanded our coverage with mobile optimization guides, live dealer insights, and in-depth RTP analysis.
Today, we continue to focus on independent testing, faster updates, and clear, actionable insights for every player.

How We Rate Online Casinos (Transparent Methodology)
We test every casino hands-on, using real accounts and industry-standard tools. No casino can pay to appear higher in our rankings.
Our Criteria:
- Licensing & Player Safety – 20% → regulator oversight, responsible gambling tools, dispute resolution
- Payout Speed & Banking – 20% → processing times, fees, crypto and fiat coverage
- Bonuses & Terms – 15% → wagering requirements, max cashout, game eligibility, fairness
- Game Selection & Providers – 15% → slots, live dealer, top studios, RTP transparency
- Fairness & Trust – 15% → RNG audits, complaint history, published RTPs
- UX & Mobile – 10% → onboarding, KYC flow, mobile experience, accessibility
- Support Quality – 5% → 24/7 availability, live chat, escalation pathways
Scoring Model: Casinos are rated on a 1–5 scale, with overall ratings calculated from weighted averages. Reviews are re-audited quarterly or whenever a casino changes bonuses, banking, or terms.
Editorial Independence & How We Make Money
We maintain a strict editorial firewall: our recommendations are never “for sale.”
We may earn affiliate commissions when readers sign up through our links. This never affects our ratings or rankings, and we always disclose any material relationships. If you encounter a dispute with a casino, we provide guidance on filing complaints but do not act as intermediaries.
