How We Fund Our Work
canacasino.com is a free, independently operated resource. To cover the costs of research, testing, writing, and maintaining the site, we participate in affiliate marketing programmes.
When you click a link to a casino operator on canacasino.com and complete a qualifying action — typically registering an account — we may receive a commission from that operator. This commission is paid by the operator and comes at no additional cost to you. You pay nothing extra, and the casino’s terms, bonuses, and pricing are identical whether you arrive through canacasino.com or directly.
Our affiliate partners include online casino operators featured in reviews, listings, and comparisons across this site. Not every operator we mention has an affiliate arrangement with us — some appear in our content because they are relevant to a topic, not because they pay us.
Editorial Independence
Affiliate relationships do not influence how we review, rate, or rank casinos. Our editorial process follows a fixed methodology applied consistently across every operator we assess — regardless of whether a commercial relationship exists.
Specifically:
- Operators cannot pay for a positive review or an improved rating
- Operators cannot pay for placement in any ranking or recommendation list
- A casino with an active affiliate agreement is reviewed by the same criteria as one without
- Negative findings are published as written, without softening for commercial reasons
- Casinos that fail our standards are excluded from recommendations — or listed on our blacklist — regardless of partnership status
Our ratings are based on hands-on testing across six criteria: bonuses and terms, banking and payout speed, software and games, security and licensing, customer support, and user experience. The full methodology is on our How We Rate page.
What This Means for You
Affiliate revenue is what allows canacasino.com to operate as a free resource. It funds the time required to test casino products properly, maintain accurate information, monitor regulatory changes, and keep reviews current.
Our commercial model only works if our recommendations are trustworthy. A reader who signs up at a casino based on our review and has a poor experience is unlikely to return — and unlikely to trust anything else we publish. Our long-term interest is aligned with yours: we benefit most when we direct players toward operators that actually deliver.
That said, you should be aware that a commercial relationship exists with many of the operators we recommend positively. We believe our editorial standards are robust enough to manage that conflict — but we disclose it openly so you can factor it into how you weigh our content.
Transparency Commitment
canacasino.com discloses its affiliate relationships in accordance with the Competition Bureau of Canada’s guidelines on material connection disclosure and applicable advertising standards.
Where required, affiliate links are identified within page content. This policy page serves as a standing disclosure for all pages on canacasino.com that contain affiliate links.
We do not accept undisclosed sponsored content. We do not publish reviews or articles written or paid for by operators and presented as independent editorial content.
If you have a question about a specific commercial relationship, or believe a piece of content does not meet our disclosed standards, contact us at [email protected].
