Safety score explorer: move the weights and watch the ranking rebuild

Pick the province you play from, then move any of the six sliders. Each slider is one criterion's share of a hundred points, and the ranking underneath rebuilds as you move it. The running total sits below the sliders and turns red when the weights no longer add up to a hundred, which is the point at which the scores stop being comparable with ours. The reset control puts the published weights back.
The useful way to use it is to test a disagreement rather than to browse. If you think an operator's own limit tools matter more than a province-wide register, move safer gambling down and watch which operators climb. What changes is only what each criterion is worth — the raw points an operator earned on it come from documents and stay exactly where they are.
Why a scoring site should hand you the controls
Every ranking on the internet presents one ordering as though the weights behind it were obvious rather than chosen. Ours are chosen. We decided that a complaint route matters more than an audit certificate, and that a province-wide exclusion register matters more than an operator’s own limit screen — and a reasonable person could weigh both differently.
Publishing the weights is the minimum. Letting you replace them is the honest version, because it converts "trust our judgement" into "here is our judgement, and here is what yours produces".
The two decisions most worth testing
Drop safer gambling from twenty and the regulated provinces lose part of their advantage, because most of that weight sits with a register only two provinces have. If you think an operator’s own tools are what count, that is the slider that expresses it.
Drop regulatory standing from twenty-five and offshore operators climb. That is the single largest lever on this site, and it is worth seeing what it does before deciding whether you agree with us that jurisdiction should dominate.
What the explorer will not let you change
Eligibility. Operators without an Ontario registration do not appear on Ontario at any weighting, because that is a compliance rule rather than a scoring preference — advertising them to an Ontario audience is not permitted regardless of how they score.
And the raw points per criterion, which come from documents rather than from opinion. You can change what a criterion is worth; you cannot change what an operator earned on it. The reasoning behind every award is on the method page and our sources.
Safety score explorer, answered
What does moving a weight actually do?
It rescales that criterion’s share of the total and recomputes every operator, then re-sorts. Each operator’s raw points per criterion stay the same — only what they are worth changes.
Why publish a tool that lets me disagree with you?
Because a published method you cannot test is just an assertion with numbers on it. If our weighting changes your conclusion, you should be able to see that rather than take our word for the ordering.
Which weight is the most arguable?
The twelve-to-eight split inside safer gambling: we treat a province-wide exclusion register as worth more than an operator’s own tools. Move it and see. Our method page explains why we chose it.
Why does the Ontario list have fewer operators?
Because eligibility is a compliance gate rather than a ranking decision. Operators without an Ontario registration are removed from Ontario entirely, not ranked low.
Why can an operator score LOWER in a regulated province?
Because an unregistered operator gets three of the twenty-five regulatory points where a framework exists and five where none does. In Manitoba nobody can register, so being outside a system says nothing; in Alberta a system exists and this operator did not join it, while registered rivals did. Two points, deliberately small — the full reasoning is on how we score.
Why does nobody score full marks on fairness?
Because the top of that criterion is reserved for a certificate we can open. A registered operator gets eleven of fifteen — certification by an AGCO-registered laboratory is a condition of its registration, which is documented rather than merely claimed — and the last four stay unawarded until a certificate is published at a stable URL. See how to verify a certificate.
Do my changes affect the rest of the site?
No. Nothing is saved and nothing is sent. The published scores elsewhere always use the official weights.
Can I reset it?
Yes — the reset button restores the published weights exactly.
