Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: January 2026
How openaccessguelph.ca Makes Money
openaccessguelph.ca is an independent casino review and comparison website focused on the fastest payout casinos available to players in Canada. To keep our content free for readers, we participate in affiliate marketing programs with some of the online casinos and gambling operators featured on this site.
This means that when you click certain links on our website and register an account or make a deposit with an operator, we may receive a commission from that operator — at no additional cost to you. In some cases, we may also receive compensation for sponsored placements or featured listings, which will always be clearly labelled as such.
Our Editorial Independence
Affiliate commissions and sponsorship arrangements do not influence our rankings, ratings, reviews, or recommendations. Our editorial team evaluates casinos based on consistent, hands-on testing criteria, including:
- Withdrawal and payout processing speed
- Licensing, regulation, and player safety
- Payment methods available to Canadian players (including Interac and e-wallets)
- Bonus terms and wagering requirements
- Game selection and software quality
- Customer support responsiveness
Operators cannot pay for a better review or a higher ranking. If a casino fails to meet our standards, we say so — regardless of any commercial relationship we may have with that brand.
How to Identify Affiliate and Sponsored Links
We believe you should always know when a link may earn us a commission. You can identify affiliate and sponsored content on openaccessguelph.ca in the following ways:
- Outbound links to casino operators marked with labels such as "Visit Casino", "Play Now", or similar call-to-action buttons are typically affiliate links.
- Any sponsored content or paid placement will be clearly labelled "Sponsored" or "Advertisement".
- Where practical, affiliate links may carry a rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow" attribute in the page code.
As a general rule, assume that any link directing you from openaccessguelph.ca to a casino operator's website may be an affiliate link.
Regulatory Compliance
openaccessguelph.ca is committed to operating transparently and in line with applicable Canadian standards, including:
- The Competition Act (Canada) and guidance from the Competition Bureau of Canada regarding the clear and conspicuous disclosure of material connections in online endorsements, testimonials, and influencer/affiliate marketing.
- Ad Standards Canada and the Canadian Code of Advertising Standards, which require honesty, accuracy, and transparency in advertising content.
- Provincial gambling advertising requirements, including standards applicable in Ontario under the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) and iGaming Ontario, where relevant.
We only promote operators we believe hold appropriate licensing for the markets in which they operate, and we encourage readers to verify that any operator is legally available in their province or territory before registering.
