About Tycho

Tycho is a Canada-focused casino comparison and affiliate site produced by an editorial team that researches online casinos for players. Its mission is to make casino information clearer and more useful; readers should be able to assess the site's work through transparent review criteria, clear affiliate disclosures, and editorial independence from commercial partnerships.

Our Mission and Independence

Tycho empowers Canadian players to make informed choices by delivering straightforward, data‑driven comparisons of online casinos, free from any commercial agenda. While affiliate links may generate a commission when users click or sign up, that revenue never dictates ratings, reviews, or the decision to feature a casino, ensuring our editorial integrity remains uncompromised.

How We Review Casinos

  • We cross‑check licensing, jurisdictional availability, and security certifications for every casino before rating them
  • Our team audits payment options, bonus terms, game libraries, site usability, and support response times, documenting each metric
  • Reviews are recorded in a centralized database and refreshed promptly whenever licensing status, payouts, or major features change

How We Rate Casinos

  • We use a 1‑to‑5 star scale, weighting player safety 40%, transparent terms 35% and reliable withdrawals 25% to compute each casino's total score.
  • Each category is measured against published criteria and verified evidence such as licensing, SSL encryption, clear bonus rules and documented payout histories.
  • Scores reflect objective assessments only; they do not guarantee winnings nor serve as an endorsement to gamble.

Responsible Gambling

Gambling carries inherent risks, and Tycho urges players to establish personal limits, pause regularly, and seek professional assistance if gambling begins to affect their well‑being. Canadian resources such as the Problem Gambling Helpline (1‑833‑300‑1010) and the Canadian Partnership for Responsible Gambling offer confidential support. Self‑exclusion options vary by province; Ontario residents can explore BetGuard and other official break‑programs through the province's responsible‑gaming portal.
