Editorial Policy

Last updated: 15 October 2026

Short version. We test casino payments and provably fair games ourselves, then write down what happened. This page explains how we pick topics, how we check claims, and how we fix mistakes.

Who we are

Fort Langley is an information site for Canadian players. We look at two things: how crypto and fiat payments work at online casinos, and whether provably fair games hold up when you check the hashes.

Dana Whitfield is the Lookout Editor. Every post on this site is built on a test that was actually run. We time deposits. We check hashes. We record the results.

How we choose topics

We pick topics that Canadian players ask about. Payment methods, withdrawal times, and fairness checks come up often. If a question cannot be tested, we do not write a post about it.

We do not accept topic requests from operators. We do not publish sponsored posts. No casino pays us for coverage, and none sees a post before it goes live.

How we test and verify

Each post starts with a test plan. For payments, we make a deposit and a withdrawal, then record the time each step takes. For provably fair games, we collect the seed and hash values and check them against the published algorithm.

We run each test more than once. One result is an anecdote. Repeated results are data. When a result depends on the player’s bank, the network, or the time of day, we say so in the post.

We keep our notes. If you want to know how a number was produced, the method is in the post.

Sources

We use our own test results first. When we cite outside material, we link to the source so you can read it yourself. We do not repeat claims we cannot trace.

We do not invent numbers. If we did not measure it, it does not appear as a fact.

Independence from operators

We have no commercial relationship with any casino we write about. We do not take affiliate payments for reviews, and we do not let operators review drafts.

If that ever changes, we will say so on this page before it affects a post.

How ratings and recommendations are formed

We do not publish star ratings. When we recommend a payment method or a game, the recommendation comes from our test results. A method that settled faster in our tests gets described that way. A game whose hashes checked out gets described that way.

We state the limits of each result. A fast withdrawal on one day is not a promise about the next.

Review schedule

We review articles when the terms change. Payment limits, fees, and fairness rules do move, and a post that no longer matches the terms is a problem.

We also intend to review every article at least once a year, even if nothing has changed. That is an intent, not a fixed schedule. We do not publish invented review dates.

Corrections

If you find an error, tell us. Use the contact route on the site and include the page and the specific claim. We read every report.

When we confirm an error, we fix the text and add a note at the top of the page. The note gives the updated date and says what changed. We do not quietly edit a claim and leave the old date in place.

Small fixes, such as a typo or a broken link, get the updated date but no note. Anything that changes a fact, a number, or a recommendation gets a note.

If we cannot confirm a reported error, we say so and explain why.
