How this guide gets paid

The site carries one paid link, and it sits only on the home page. It is marked Ad and labelled Casino online. Following it takes you to an online casino that a partner operates. The partner behind it may change, and this guide does not name it. When readers use the link, the site earns a commission.

That partner is neither Play Alberta nor an operation of the province. AGLC runs its own online site, Play Alberta (PlayAlberta.ca), and the Government of Alberta receives the revenue from it. The guide does not say anything about the partner's registration. Any online casino can be checked, before you use it, in AiGC's directory at abigaming.ca/players/registered-igaming-sites. An operator that does not appear in that directory is not regulated.

No venue pays to appear on this site. The 30 venues listed here, and their places on the map, are not for sale.

AGLC sets standards for anyone advertising an online gaming site in Alberta, and the home page ad is built around them. A note reading 18+ sits beside the button. A play responsibly message runs with it, giving 211 and the Addiction Helpline at 1-866-332-2322. The ad carries no offers of any kind, since those belong only on an operator's own site. No people or characters appear near it, and it uses no urgency words.

No other link on the site is paid. That includes Play Alberta, the venue pages and the help resources. The editors add those links because they are useful, not because anyone pays for them.
