Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: 2026
gawck.ca ("we," "us," or "our") is an independent review website covering crypto betting and online casinos available to players in Canada. Please read this Affiliate Disclosure carefully before using our website or acting on any information we publish.
1. We Earn Affiliate Commissions
gawck.ca participates in affiliate marketing programs with online casinos, crypto betting platforms, and related operators. This means that when you click certain links on our website and subsequently register, deposit, or play at a partner site, we may receive a commission from that operator — at no additional cost to you. These commissions are how we fund our reviews, research, and website operations.
2. Commissions Do Not Influence Our Rankings or Reviews
Our editorial content is produced independently of our commercial partnerships. The rankings, ratings, and recommendations on gawck.ca are based on our own assessment criteria — including licensing and security, game selection, crypto payment options, payout speed, bonus fairness, and customer support. Operators cannot pay for a better review, a higher ranking, or the removal of legitimate criticism. Where we identify shortcomings at a partner casino, we disclose them regardless of our commercial relationship.
3. How to Identify Affiliate and Sponsored Links
You can identify commercial links on our website in the following ways:
- Outbound links to casino and betting operators (including buttons such as "Visit Casino," "Claim Bonus," or "Play Now") are affiliate links that may generate a commission for us.
- Any content that has been paid for or produced in cooperation with an operator will be clearly labelled as "Sponsored," "Advertisement," or "Paid Partnership" at the top of the content.
- Affiliate links may be marked with a visual indicator or noted in the surrounding text where practical.
4. Regulatory Compliance
We are committed to meeting the transparency standards applicable in Canada. This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Competition Act (R.S.C., 1985, c. C-34), which prohibits false or misleading representations and requires that material connections between endorsers and advertisers be clearly disclosed, and with guidance issued by the Competition Bureau of Canada regarding influencer and affiliate marketing. We also align our practices with applicable provincial advertising and consumer protection standards, and with the responsible gambling advertising requirements of regulators such as iGaming Ontario and the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) where relevant. Where our content reaches audiences in other jurisdictions, we endeavour to meet the spirit of their disclosure regimes as well (for example, the FTC in the United States and the ASA/CAP Code in the United Kingdom).
5. Your Responsibility as a Reader
Online gambling involves financial risk. Information on gawck.ca is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial, legal, or professional advice. Before signing up at any casino or crypto betting site, you are responsible for:
- Verifying that online gambling is legal in your province or territory of residence and that you meet the minimum legal age requirement (18 or 19, depending on your province or territory).
- Confirming that the operator holds a valid licence appropriate for your jurisdiction.
- Reading and understanding the operator's full terms and conditions, including bonus wagering requirements and withdrawal policies.
- Understanding the risks associated with cryptocurrency, including price volatility and the limited recourse available for irreversible transactions.
- Gambling only with money you can afford to lose.
If gambling stops being fun, help is available. Canadian players can contact ConnexOntario (1-866-531-2600), GamTalk, or their provincial problem gambling helpline for free, confidential support.
