Affiliate Disclosure

Affiliate Disclosure

This page explains, plainly and completely, how onlinecasinocanadatop.com earns revenue, how that revenue does and does not affect what you read here, and how you can identify commercial links before you click them. It is published by The Local Guide, the company that owns and operates this site.

Who We Are and What We Do

onlinecasinocanadatop.com is an independent comparison site built for Canadian adults aged 19 and older. We research, review, and rank licensed online casinos so that players can make informed choices before depositing real money. We are not a casino, we do not accept wagers, and we are not affiliated with any provincial lottery corporation. Our editorial process is described separately on our How We Rate page.

How This Site Makes Money

We earn revenue through affiliate marketing. Here is how that works in practice:

• We hold referral agreements with a number of online casinos that accept Canadian players.
• When a visitor clicks one of our tracked links and subsequently registers a real-money account at that casino, we receive a commission from the casino operator. The commission is typically a one-time payment per new sign-up, a percentage of the revenue that player generates for the casino over time, or a combination of both, depending on the specific agreement.
• You pay nothing extra as a result of this arrangement. The commission comes from the operator, not from you.
• We do not earn anything when you browse this site without clicking outbound links, when you navigate directly to a casino, or when you use a casino that does not have an agreement with us.

This is a standard and fully legal business model for comparison and review websites. We are disclosing it because you have a right to know.

What Our Commercial Relationships Do and Do Not Change

We want to be direct about where commercial considerations have an influence and where they do not.

What does not change:

• The factual details of any bonus offer — wagering requirements, minimum deposit, eligible games, expiry dates — are reported as we find them. We do not inflate or misrepresent terms to make an offer look more attractive.
• Our star ratings and scoring are calculated using the criteria published on our How We Rate page. A casino cannot purchase a higher score.
• Negative findings — slow withdrawals, poor customer support, confusing bonus conditions — are included in reviews whether or not we have a commercial relationship with that operator.
• Casinos that fail our minimum licensing and safety checks are not listed on this site regardless of any potential commission arrangement.

What may be influenced:

• The order in which casinos appear within a list or table can reflect, in part, the commercial relationship we hold with an operator. Where two casinos receive similar editorial scores, one with a stronger affiliate agreement may appear higher in the ranking. We believe this is a reasonable trade-off that allows us to keep the site free to use, but you should know it happens.
• We may choose to write a full review of a casino we have an agreement with before writing one for an operator we do not. Coverage decisions are not always purely editorial.

How to Identify Commercial Links

Under applicable advertising standards and good practice, we mark outbound links that may result in a commission to us. You can identify these links in two ways:

1. They carry the HTML attribute rel="sponsored", which is visible in the page source and signals to both users and search engines that a commercial relationship exists.
2. Buttons and calls-to-action that point directly to casino sign-up or deposit pages — such as "Visit Casino" or "Claim Offer" — are commercial links.

Links to other pages within onlinecasinocanadatop.com, including our Responsible Gambling page, our Privacy Policy, our Terms of Use, and this disclosure, are never commercial links.

Every casino product listed here involves the possibility of losing real money.
