Why this library exists
TorontoPoker.org separates source authority from source freshness. A casino's own poker page is usually the best source for its published room hours; a regulator is the right source for regulated-operator status. Neither automatically proves what is happening at a table this minute.

Evidence hierarchy
- Regulators and government bodies for legal/regulatory status.
- Venue/operator first-party pages for published room hours, games, stakes, fees and tournaments.
- Official event pages for dates, structures and registration details.
- Live-list tools for current waitlists when the venue itself directs players there.
- Secondary sources only when a primary source is unavailable, and labelled accordingly.
What a source does not prove
A published game menu does not prove the game is currently running. A published tournament schedule does not guarantee an event has not changed. A business listing does not establish gambling licensing. We state these limits on relevant pages.
