Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: January 2026

TheGates2.ca ("we," "us," or "our") is an independent review and informational website focused on sports betting and online casinos available to players in Canada. This Affiliate Disclosure explains how we earn revenue, how that revenue relates to our content, and what your responsibilities are as a reader.

1. We Earn Affiliate Commissions

Some of the links on TheGates2.ca are affiliate links. This means that if you click on a link to a casino or sportsbook and subsequently register, deposit, or wager, we may receive a commission from that operator at no additional cost to you. These commissions are how we fund the research, testing, and maintenance of this website.

Please assume that any link directing you to an online casino, sportsbook, or betting operator from this site may be an affiliate link.

2. Commissions Do Not Influence Our Editorial Content

Our rankings, ratings, and reviews are determined by our editorial team based on independent evaluation criteria, including licensing and safety, bonuses and terms, payment methods, odds and markets, customer support, and user experience. Affiliate partnerships and commission rates do not influence our rankings, scores, or recommendations. Operators cannot pay for a higher ranking, a better review, or the removal of negative findings. Where we identify issues with an operator, we report them regardless of any commercial relationship.

3. How to Identify Affiliate and Sponsored Links

We aim to make commercial relationships easy to spot:

• Links to casinos and sportsbooks featured in our reviews, comparison tables, and "top lists" are typically affiliate links.
• Sponsored placements or paid promotional content, where present, will be clearly labelled as "Sponsored", "Ad", or "Paid Promotion".
• Affiliate links may include tracking parameters in the URL (for example, referral codes or campaign identifiers).

4. Canadian Regulatory Compliance

We strive to ensure our advertising and affiliate practices comply with applicable Canadian standards, including the Competition Act (which prohibits false or misleading representations) and the guidance of Ad Standards Canada, including the Influencer Disclosure Guidelines and the Canadian Code of Advertising Standards. We are committed to making our material connections with gambling operators clear, prominent, and easy to understand.

We only promote operators that we believe hold appropriate licensing or registration for the Canadian market, such as registration with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) / iGaming Ontario where applicable, or licensing from other recognized jurisdictions for operators serving players outside Ontario.

5. Your Responsibility as a Reader

• You must be of legal gambling age in your province or territory (18+ or 19+, depending on your location) to use any operator featured on this site.
• Gambling involves risk. Only wager money you can afford to lose, and never treat gambling as a source of income.
• You are responsible for verifying that an operator is legally available in your province or territory and for reviewing its terms, conditions, and bonus wagering requirements before registering or depositing.
• Information on this site, including bonuses and promotions, may change. We do our best to keep content current, but the operator's own website is the authoritative source.
• If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, please seek help through resources such as ConnexOntario (1-866-531-2600), GameSense, or your provincial problem gambling helpline.
