This page explains who writes the material, where the facts come from, and how the site is funded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What the site is<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">verifer.com is an information website for players in Alberta. It covers operators that appear in the <a href=\"https:\/\/aglc.ca\/gaming-registrants\">AGLC register of gaming registrants<\/a> and in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abigaming.ca\/operators\/registered-igaming-sites\/\">AiGC directory of registered iGaming sites<\/a>, and it publishes payment guides, slots pages, responsible gambling information and tools such as a licence checker, a payout tracker and a budget planner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">verifer.com is not a gambling operator. The site does not accept bets, does not hold player accounts, does not take deposits or process withdrawals, and is not part of Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC) or the Alberta iGaming Corporation (AiGC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Operators are listed alphabetically. There is no ranking and no overall rating: the pages report what an operator publishes, and the order of names does not express a preference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who writes the pages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Alberta pages are written and reviewed by <a href=\"https:\/\/verifer.com\/ca\/alberta\/author-russell-smith\/\">Russell Smith<\/a>, the section&#8217;s data editor. He prepares the operator pages, the payment comparisons and the method note, and his name sits on the pages he works on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He came to data work through applied mathematics. Before writing about gambling he was the stats editor and hockey analyst for the KW Siskins, where he built the club&#8217;s statistical reporting from 2018, and he is based in Waterloo, Ontario. His wider work is published at <a href=\"https:\/\/russellsmith.ca\">russellsmith.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pages that depend on operator data carry the date the data was checked. If a page has no named author and no check date, treat its figures as out of date and write to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where the facts come from<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Figures and terms are taken from what the operator publishes: cashier and banking pages, terms and conditions, help centres, responsible gambling pages and app listings. Registration details are checked against the <a href=\"https:\/\/aglc.ca\/gaming-registrants\">AGLC register<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abigaming.ca\/operators\/registered-igaming-sites\/\">AiGC directory<\/a>; legal and support information is checked against official Alberta sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>One source, named.<\/b> Every figure on an operator page links to the operator page it came from, so a reader can open the same page and see the same number.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>The operator&#8217;s own page decides.<\/b> When two sources disagree, the operator&#8217;s Alberta page is used. Where it conflicts with an AGLC record, both are reported and the conflict is noted on the page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Unpublished stays unpublished.<\/b> If an operator does not publish a value, the page says &#8220;Not published by the operator&#8221; instead of estimating it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Dated and corrected.<\/b> A page shows the date its data was checked, and a correction is verified against the source before the page is changed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How the site is funded<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no charge to read verifer.com. Some links to operators are affiliate links: when a reader follows one and signs up with that operator, the operator may pay verifer.com a commission. The payment comes from the operator, not from the reader, and it does not change what a reader pays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Affiliate links carry the sponsored attribute in the page code, and the disclosure appears near the top of any page that contains one. The <a href=\"https:\/\/verifer.com\/ca\/alberta\/advertising-disclosure\/\">advertising disclosure<\/a> sets out how the links work and where they appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Operators are not listed in order of commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What the site does not do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It does not present gambling as a way to make money, promise winnings or suggest that any result can be predicted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It does not publish strategies for winning on slots or advice on how to beat an operator.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It does not cover operators outside the AGLC register, and it does not link to them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It does not hold player accounts or settle disputes with an operator: a withdrawal, a closed account or any decision about the account belongs to the operator, and AGLC publishes the complaint routes where the operator&#8217;s support does not resolve the matter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It does not give legal or tax advice. Everything on the site is general information, not legal advice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is not written for anyone under 18. Gambling in Alberta is for adults aged 18 and over; individual operators may set a higher age in their own terms, and those terms apply.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Corrections and contact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a figure or a term does not match the operator&#8217;s published page, write to <a href=\"mailto:hello@verifer.com\">hello@verifer.com<\/a> with the page URL, the sentence you are questioning, the source that shows the current position and the date you checked it. Corrections and privacy requests are read before other messages; the <a href=\"https:\/\/verifer.com\/ca\/alberta\/contact\/\">contact page<\/a> lists what else reaches us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The rules in writing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/verifer.com\/ca\/alberta\/editorial-policy\/\">Editorial Policy<\/a> \u2014 who writes the pages, what is published and how facts are sourced and corrected.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/verifer.com\/ca\/alberta\/advertising-disclosure\/\">Advertising Disclosure<\/a> \u2014 how affiliate links work and where they appear.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/verifer.com\/ca\/alberta\/privacy-policy\/\">Privacy Policy<\/a> \u2014 what is collected, why, and how to ask for access or deletion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/verifer.com\/ca\/alberta\/cookie-policy\/\">Cookie Policy<\/a> \u2014 the categories of cookies used and how to accept, refuse or change that choice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/verifer.com\/ca\/alberta\/terms\/\">Terms of Use<\/a> \u2014 eligibility, acceptable use and liability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Support in Alberta<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gambling is entertainment, not a way to make money.
