Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: January 2026
1. Affiliate Commissions
journeythroughlosscalgary.org is an independent casino review website focused on Mastercard online casinos. When you click on certain links on this website and register, deposit, or play at a casino, we may receive an affiliate commission from that casino operator. This comes at no additional cost to you — the bonus or offer you receive is the same (and in some cases better) than if you visited the casino directly.
These commissions are how we fund the operation of this site, including researching casinos, testing Mastercard deposit and withdrawal processes, and keeping our content current and accurate.
2. Editorial Independence
Our affiliate relationships do not influence our rankings, ratings, or review content. Casino reviews on journeythroughlosscalgary.org are based on our own evaluation criteria, including licensing, game selection, payment processing (with particular attention to Mastercard support), bonus fairness, customer service, and player safety.
Casinos cannot pay for a higher ranking, a better score, or the removal of negative findings. Where a casino performs poorly against our criteria, we say so — regardless of any commercial relationship.
3. How to Identify Affiliate and Sponsored Links
We believe in being upfront about commercial relationships. You can identify affiliate content on this site in the following ways:
- Outbound links to casino operators — including buttons labelled "Play Now", "Claim Bonus", "Visit Casino", or similar — are typically affiliate links.
- Any sponsored placement or paid partnership will be clearly labelled with wording such as "Sponsored" or "Advertisement" next to the content.
- Where a link uses a tracking redirect through our domain, it is an affiliate link.
If you are ever unsure whether a link is an affiliate link, assume that it is, or contact us for clarification.
4. Regulatory Compliance (Canada)
journeythroughlosscalgary.org is committed to complying with applicable Canadian laws and standards, including the Competition Act and the guidance issued by the Competition Bureau of Canada regarding deceptive marketing practices and the disclosure of material connections between endorsers and advertisers. We disclose our affiliate relationships prominently and in plain language, in line with these requirements, as well as the Canadian Code of Advertising Standards administered by Ad Standards.
Online gambling laws vary by province and territory in Canada. The casinos featured on this site may not be licensed or legally available in your province or territory. It is your responsibility to verify the legality of online gambling in your jurisdiction before registering with any operator.
5. Your Responsibility as a Reader
By using this website, you acknowledge and agree that:
- You are of legal gambling age in your province or territory of residence (18 or 19+, depending on jurisdiction).
- You are solely responsible for ensuring that online gambling is legal where you live before signing up with any casino linked from this site.
- Information on this site — including bonuses, payment methods, and terms — can change at any time, and you should always verify details directly with the casino operator.
- Gambling involves financial risk. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose. If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling, help is available through resources such as ConnexOntario (1-866-531-2600) or your provincial problem gambling helpline.
