This page explains how Canadian Online Casino Affiliate earns money through affiliate partnerships with licensed online casinos in Canada (e.g., PlayOLG, BetMGM). Our reviews remain unbiased and independent.
1. What Is an Affiliate Disclosure?
An affiliate disclosure is a legal requirement that informs you, the reader, about our financial relationships with online casinos. When you click our links and sign up at a casino, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
This disclosure complies with:
- Canadian advertising laws (Competition Bureau guidelines).
- FTC regulations (U.S. Federal Trade Commission, which influences global affiliate marketing standards).
- Provincial gambling regulations (e.g., AGCO in Ontario, Loto-Québec).
2. How We Earn Commissions
We participate in affiliate programs with licensed Canadian online casinos. Here’s how it works:
- You click a link on our site (e.g., to PlayOLG or BetMGM).
- You register and/or deposit at the casino.
- We earn a commission, which could be:
- A fixed amount (e.g., $50 per sign-up).
- A percentage of your deposit (e.g., 30% of your first deposit).
- A revenue share (e.g., 20% of the casino’s profit from your play).
Example: If you sign up at BetMGM through our link and deposit $100, we might earn $30–$50 (depending on the affiliate agreement). You pay nothing extra—this comes from the casino’s marketing budget.
