Affiliate Disclosure

How we make money

Some links on Ca$ino are affiliate links. If you click through to a casino and create an account or deposit, the casino may pay us a referral fee. This comes at no cost to you — the casino pays the commission, not the player. Your bonus and your terms are exactly the same whether you arrive via our link or directly.

We participate in affiliate programs with licensed and regulated online casino operators serving Canadian players. These relationships help us keep all guides on this site free.

How affiliate relationships affect our content

Our editorial content is written independently of our affiliate relationships. Specifically:

• RTP, house-edge and wagering figures are based on the game-provider data and our own checks — not on which casinos pay us a higher commission.
• We do not allow casinos to influence how we describe their games, bonuses, payment methods, or licensing.
• We do not recommend casinos we consider unsafe, unlicensed, or unfair to players, regardless of what commission is on offer.
• Strategy and game-rules guides (e.g. blackjack basic strategy, RTP explained) contain no affiliate links — only dedicated casino comparison and review pages do.

See our How we review page for the full methodology, including the criteria each casino must meet to be listed.

How to identify affiliate links

All affiliate links on Ca$ino point to licensed casino operators and are marked with rel="sponsored noopener" or rel="nofollow noopener" in the HTML, in line with Google’s guidelines for paid/incentivised links. Casino buttons labelled “Visit Casino”, “Claim Bonus” or “Play Now” are affiliate links. Internal links to other guides on this site are not affiliate links.

Our standards for casino recommendations

We only recommend casinos that meet the following criteria:

• Licensed by a recognised regulatory authority — AGCO (Ontario), Loto-Québec, BCLC, AGLC, MGA (Malta), UKGC (UK), Kahnawake, or Curaçao eGaming.
• Use certified Random Number Generators (RNG) audited by independent labs (eCOGRA, iTech Labs, GLI or BMM Testlabs).
• Display accurate RTP information and use the publisher’s default RTP version where possible.
• Offer responsible-gambling tools: deposit limits, loss limits, cool-off, reality checks and self-exclusion.
• Have a documented track record of paying Canadian players promptly via Interac, bank transfer or other listed methods.
• Accept Canadian dollars (CAD) and clearly disclose all bonus terms before sign-up.

Compliance

In line with the Canadian Code of Advertising Standards and the US FTC guidelines on endorsements (16 CFR Part 255), we disclose that we may receive compensation for casino recommendations made on this site. This disclosure applies site-wide and is also surfaced in the footer of every page.
