These terms cover how you may use the Tavern website. By browsing the site you agree to them, so please read them before you rely on anything here.
Tavern operates the website at tavern.ca. By accessing or using the site you agree to these terms and conditions. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site. We may update these terms from time to time, and the effective date at the top will show when they last changed. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
Everything on Tavern is published for general information. Our reviews, ratings, payout tests, comparisons and guides are our editorial opinion and research, offered to help you make your own decision. Nothing here is legal, financial or tax advice, and nothing is a guarantee of any outcome. You are responsible for confirming that online gambling is legal where you live and for reading the current terms of any casino before you register or deposit.
Tavern earns money through affiliate relationships. When you follow a link from our site to an online casino and go on to register or deposit, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. This is how the site stays free to read. As set out on our how we rate page, a commercial relationship never changes a rating, a review or the order of our rankings, which come from our tested methodology.
The casinos we review and link to are independent businesses that we do not own, operate or control. We are not a gambling operator, a payment processor or an agent of any casino. We cannot open, access or close your account with an operator, release a withdrawal, resolve a dispute, honour a bonus or influence how a casino handles your money. Any contract you enter into when you register with a casino is between you and that operator, governed by its own terms and its own licence.
Many of the brands we cover are licensed outside Canada and are not regulated by a Canadian province. That is a genuine trade-off, and we flag it in our reviews. If you choose an offshore operator, you do so under its terms and its regulator, not ours.
We work to keep the information on Tavern accurate and current, and we test what we can, but the online gambling market changes constantly. Bonus amounts, wagering requirements, payout times, payment methods, licensing and availability are set by the operators and can change without notice. We make no warranty, express or implied, that the content is complete, accurate or up to date at the moment you read it. The site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. Always confirm the current details on the operator's own website before acting.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tavern is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or your reliance on its content, including any losses connected with gambling at a third-party operator. Gambling carries financial risk, and the decision to gamble, and any money you win or lose, is yours alone.
You must be of legal gambling age in your province to use this site and to gamble: 19 or older in most of Canada, and 18 or older in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec. Gambling should be entertainment, not a source of income. Please set limits and play within your means. If you need support, our responsible gambling page lists national and provincial helplines, including ConnexOntario at 1-866-531-2600.
The content on Tavern, including our text, reviews, ratings, logo, layout and original graphics, belongs to Tavern or is used with permission, and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights. You may read and share links to our pages for personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, republish or reproduce our content for commercial purposes without our written permission. Casino names, logos and trademarks shown on the site remain the property of their respective owners and are used for identification and review purposes only.
These terms are governed by the laws of Canada and the province in which Tavern operates, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute relating to the site will be subject to the courts of that jurisdiction.
If you have a question about these terms, write to us at editorial@tavern.ca or use the contact page.
