This site publishes information about gambling regulation in Canada. Some outbound links on this site are affiliate links. This page explains what that means and how those links are handled.
1. Scope
This disclosure applies to all pages on this site that contain outbound links to gambling operators. It does not apply to links to government bodies, regulators, statutes or the site’s own pages.
2. Affiliate links
Some links to operators are affiliate links. If a reader follows one of these links and registers or plays with that operator, this site may receive a commission. The reader pays nothing extra. The price and terms offered to the reader are the same whether the reader arrives through an affiliate link or directly.
3. Effect on content
Affiliate relationships do not decide what this site writes. Danika Ferro covers Ontario’s regulated iGaming framework, including AGCO licensing standards, iGaming Ontario operational requirements, provincial self-exclusion programs and ConnexOntario referrals, as well as CRA treatment of gambling winnings and regulatory timelines and notification duties after data breaches. Her work is built from primary sources, including the AGCO Registrar’s Standards, iGaming Ontario public reports, provincial statutes and CRA interpretations. No operator reviews or approves this material before publication.
4. How to identify an affiliate link
Affiliate links can be identified as follows:
- The link leads off this site to an operator’s own website.
- The link appears in a section that names or discusses an operator.
- The link may contain a tracking parameter in its address.
Links to this site’s own pages, to regulators and to statutes are not affiliate links.
5. Corrections and complaints
If a reader believes an affiliate link has been placed in a way that conflicts with the site’s editorial standards, the reader may raise it through the comment form on the relevant post. The site’s corrections process is set out in the editorial policy. General information about the site is available on the about us page, and questions about how to reach the writer are answered on the contact page.
6. Responsible gambling
Gambling involves risk. Readers in Ontario can find support and referral information through the responsible gambling page. Information about data handling on this site, including the comment form and server logs, is set out in the privacy policy. This site is an information site. It is not a casino or an operator, and it does not accept wagers.
