Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: May 2026

Short version: CasinoCA earns commissions when you sign up at a casino via our links. This does not cost you anything extra. Our editorial ratings and recommendations are never influenced by the size of the commission we receive.

1. What Is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a performance-based arrangement between a website (CasinoCA) and an advertiser (an online casino). When a visitor clicks a link on our site and subsequently registers and/or makes a deposit at a recommended casino, we may receive a commission payment from that casino operator.

This commission is paid entirely by the casino. It is not an additional charge added to your deposit, and it does not reduce or alter the bonus you receive. You pay exactly the same amount whether you visit a casino directly or through our link.

2. How We Are Compensated

CasinoCA participates in affiliate programmes operated by licensed online casino operators. Compensation models may include:

  • Revenue share: A percentage of net gaming revenue generated by players referred by CasinoCA.
  • Cost-per-acquisition (CPA): A fixed fee per qualified new player registration or first deposit.
  • Hybrid deals: A combination of the above models.

The specific terms of each affiliate arrangement are commercially confidential. However, the existence of these arrangements is always disclosed, as you are reading right now.

3. How Commissions Affect Our Content

They don't — and here is why we mean that:

  • Editorial independence: Our review team is separate from our commercial partnerships team. Reviewers are not told which casinos pay higher commissions.
  • Score-first, placement-second: Casino rankings on our pages are primarily driven by our editorial scores, not by commercial value. A highly rated casino with a lower commission will rank above a poorly rated casino with a higher commission.
  • No pay-to-play: We do not accept payments in exchange for positive reviews, higher ratings, or featured placement in editorial content.
  • Negative reviews published: We publish critical assessments of casinos even when we have affiliate relationships with them. Poor scores reflect genuine problems found during testing.

4. Which Links Are Affiliate Links?

On CasinoCA, all "Play Now", "Claim Bonus", and "Visit Casino" buttons and links lead to our affiliate tracking URLs. These links are marked with the HTML attribute rel="nofollow" as required by search engine guidelines. In some cases, links may also include a short redirect (e.g., via our tracking domain) before landing on the casino site.

Standard navigation links within our own site (e.g., links between our review pages) are not affiliate links and contain no tracking parameters.

5. Effect on Bonuses You Receive

Registering via our affiliate links will not reduce your welcome bonus or give you a worse deal. In many cases, our affiliate agreements include exclusive or enhanced welcome offers that are only available to players arriving through our links — meaning you may actually receive a better bonus than by going directly to the casino.

6. Our Commitment to You

We believe transparency builds trust. Our long-term business depends on Canadian players trusting our recommendations. Recommending unsafe or unfair casinos for short-term commission gain would destroy the trust our audience places in us — and our business along with it.

We are committed to recommending only casinos that we genuinely believe offer a safe and fair experience. If a casino's quality drops, we update its rating accordingly, regardless of any commercial relationship.
