Terms & Conditions

These Terms and Conditions govern your use of cimonline.ca. By accessing or using CIM Online, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree, please stop using the website.

We may update these Terms when our content, website functionality, business practices, or legal obligations change. Any revised version will be published here with a new “Last updated” date. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised Terms.

Who We Are and What We Do

CIM Online is an independent editorial and affiliate website. We research and compare online casinos available to Canadian players, including their licences, provincial availability, payment methods, payout speeds, game libraries, bonuses, and wagering requirements.

We do not:

• Own or operate an online casino
• Accept bets, wagers, or deposits
• Hold or process player balances
• Control casino accounts or withdrawals
• Provide gambling, banking, or payment services
• Guarantee winnings, bonuses, or payouts
• Act as a regulator or dispute-resolution body

Our content is provided for general informational purposes. A casino’s inclusion on CIM Online is not a promise that it will be suitable, available, or lawful for every reader.

Eligibility and Local Laws

CIM Online is intended only for adults who have reached the legal gambling age in their jurisdiction.

In Canada, the minimum age is generally 19, except in Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec, where it is 18. You are responsible for checking the rules that apply in your province, territory, or other location.

You must not use our website to access gambling services if doing so is unlawful where you are located. Casino operators may require identity verification, age checks, and geolocation verification.

We do not guarantee that an operator mentioned on CIM Online will accept your registration or remain available in your province.

Editorial Independence and Affiliate Disclosure

Some links on CIM Online are affiliate links. If you follow one and complete a qualifying action, we may receive compensation from the operator or an affiliate network. This usually does not increase your cost.

Commercial arrangements do not entitle an operator to:

• A guaranteed positive review
• A particular score
• A permanent ranking position
• Removal of material disadvantages
• Editorial approval over our conclusions

We aim to distinguish factual information, analysis, and commercial links clearly. Nevertheless, you should independently review an operator’s official terms before making a decision.

Third-Party Casinos, Websites, and Offers

CIM Online links to websites that we do not own or control. Operators determine their own:

• Registration and verification requirements
• Provincial eligibility
• Bonuses and promotional conditions
• Wagering requirements
• Deposit and withdrawal limits
• Payment processing times
• Game availability
• Responsible gambling tools
• Privacy and security practices
• Account suspension and dispute procedures

Advertised bonuses, payout times, game counts, and payment options can change after publication. Although we work to keep our content accurate, the operator’s current official terms take priority.

We are not responsible for a third party’s content, conduct, financial condition, licensing decisions, account restrictions, KYC checks, payment delays, security incidents, or regulatory compliance.

Any registration, deposit, wager, or other transaction takes place directly between you and the third-party operator.

Acceptable Use

You may use CIM Online only for lawful, personal, and non-commercial purposes.

You must not:

• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website or its systems
• Interfere with security or website operation
• Introduce malware, harmful code, or abusive traffic
• Scrape or extract content through automated means without permission
• Copy substantial portions of our database, rankings, or reviews
• Impersonate CIM Online or a member of our team
• Use our content to mislead consumers
• Infringe intellectual property or privacy rights
• Use the site in connection with unlawful gambling activity
• Circumvent access controls or technical restrictions

We may restrict access, block traffic, or take other reasonable action when we believe these Terms have been violated.

Intellectual Property

Unless stated otherwise, the text, research, rankings, design, graphics, branding, and other original materials on CIM Online are owned by or licensed to us.

We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive right to access and use the website for personal, non-commercial purposes. This permission does not allow you to reproduce, republish, sell, license, modify, or systematically extract our content without written consent.

Casino names, logos, games, and other third-party marks belong to their respective owners. References to them do not imply ownership or endorsement.

If you send us feedback, corrections, or suggestions, you allow us to use that material to improve our content without an obligation to compensate you. We will continue to handle personal information according to our Privacy Policy.

Information and Disclaimers

CIM Online provides general information, not legal, financial, tax, medical, therapeutic, or personalized gambling advice.

We make reasonable efforts to check material details, including licensing claims, payout estimates, bonus conditions, and provincial availability. However:

• Information may become outdated
• Operators may change terms without notifying us
• Processing times may vary by payment method or account
• Individual verification can affect withdrawals
• Errors or omissions may occur
• Website access may be interrupted

No casino strategy, bonus, or payment method guarantees a profit. Gambling always involves the risk of losing money.

The website is provided on an “as available” basis to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, perfect accuracy, suitability for a particular purpose, or specific results.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, CIM Online and its owners, writers, contractors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages connected with:

• Your use of or reliance on our content
• Gambling losses
• Missed or changed bonuses
• Account verification or closure
• Delayed, declined, or disputed withdrawals
• Third-party websites or services
• Security incidents outside our reasonable control
• Website interruptions or content errors

Where liability cannot legally be excluded, our total liability connected with the website or these Terms will not exceed CAD $100.

Nothing in these Terms excludes rights or liabilities that cannot be waived under applicable consumer protection law.

Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle contact details, browsing information, cookies, analytics, and affiliate tracking.

You can browse CIM Online without creating an account. Do not send us casino passwords, banking credentials, card numbers, verification codes, or identification documents.

Changes to the Website

We may add, update, remove, suspend, or discontinue any article, comparison, ranking, feature, or part of the website at any time.

We are not required to keep a particular casino listed or preserve an earlier score, ranking, bonus, or review. Updates may reflect new research, operator changes, regulatory developments, or editorial decisions.

Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the applicable federal laws of Canada, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

To the extent permitted by law, disputes relating to CIM Online or these Terms will be brought before the courts located in Ontario, Canada. Mandatory consumer rights in your home province or territory remain unaffected.

Before filing a formal claim, we encourage you to contact us and give us a reasonable opportunity to address the issue.
