Affiliate Disclosure
Last Updated: 2026
Our Affiliate Relationships
Cost of Living Canada earns affiliate commissions when you click on casino links and sign up through our website. We are compensated by online casino operators featured in our reviews and comparison tables. These commissions help us maintain and improve our content.
How Commissions Are Earned
When you click an affiliate link on costoflivingcanada.ca and complete a sign-up or deposit at an online casino, we receive a commission from that operator. You pay no additional cost—your pricing remains the same whether you visit directly or through our links.
Editorial Independence
Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial rankings, casino reviews, or recommendations. We rank casinos based on factors including:
- Payout speed and reliability
- Game selection and software quality
- Player safety and licensing
- Customer support quality
- Bonus terms and fairness
- User experience and mobile functionality
Our rankings reflect our honest assessment regardless of commission amounts. We may review casinos that do not offer affiliate programs.
Identifying Affiliate Links
Affiliate and sponsored links on our site are typically marked with:
- An "Affiliate Link" or "Sponsored" label
- Highlighted buttons directing to casino sites
- Clear call-to-action language (e.g., "Play Now," "Visit Casino")
Regular text links to external resources are not affiliate links unless explicitly labeled.
Canadian Compliance
This disclosure complies with the Competition Act (R.S.C., 1985, c. C-34) and advertising standards enforced by Advertising Standards Canada (ASC). We are transparent about material connections between our site and featured casinos as required by Canadian consumer protection regulations.
Your Responsibility
You are not obligated to use our affiliate links. You may visit any online casino directly. Before gambling:
- Verify the casino holds valid gaming licenses (ensure they operate legally in Canada)
- Review terms, conditions, and withdrawal policies independently
- Set personal betting limits and gamble responsibly
- Use resources like Gambling and Problem Gambling Resources Canada if needed
