Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: January 2026
Welcome to salmopool.com ("we", "our", or "the Site"), an independent review website covering Mastercard casinos in Canada. Please read this Affiliate Disclosure carefully before using our Site or acting on any information it contains.
1. We Earn Affiliate Commissions
salmopool.com participates in affiliate marketing programs with online casinos and gaming operators. This means that when you click on certain links on our Site and register, deposit, or play at a partner casino, we may receive a commission from that operator — at no additional cost to you.
These commissions are how we fund the operation of this website, including the research, testing, and writing that goes into our casino reviews and guides.
2. Commissions Do Not Influence Our Editorial Content
Our reviews, rankings, and recommendations are based on our own independent evaluation criteria, including licensing and security, Mastercard deposit and withdrawal reliability, bonus fairness, game selection, and customer support quality.
Affiliate partnerships do not determine:
- Which casinos we review
- How casinos are ranked or scored
- The opinions expressed in our content
Where a casino performs poorly against our criteria, we say so — regardless of any commercial relationship.
3. How to Identify Affiliate and Sponsored Links
Affiliate links on salmopool.com may appear as buttons (e.g., "Visit Casino", "Claim Bonus"), text links, or comparison table entries. You can identify them as follows:
- They typically redirect through a tracking link before reaching the casino's website
- They may be marked with labels such as "Affiliate link", "Sponsored", or "Ad"
- Sponsored placements, where applicable, are clearly labelled as such
If you are ever unsure whether a link is an affiliate link, assume that it is.
4. Canadian Compliance Statement
salmopool.com operates in accordance with applicable Canadian laws and guidance, including the Competition Act (R.S.C., 1985, c. C-34) and the Competition Bureau's guidelines on influencer and online marketing disclosures, which require that material connections between reviewers and advertisers be clearly and prominently disclosed.
We reference only operators that are licensed and regulated by recognized authorities, such as iGaming Ontario / the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) or other applicable provincial regulators, where relevant to Canadian players. Gambling availability and legality vary by province — it is your responsibility to ensure online gambling is legal in your jurisdiction and that you meet the minimum age requirement (18 or 19, depending on your province or territory).
5. Your Responsibility as a Reader
The content on salmopool.com is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, financial, or gambling advice. By using this Site, you acknowledge that:
- You are responsible for verifying the legality of online gambling in your province or territory
- You are of legal gambling age in your jurisdiction
- You gamble at your own risk, and we are not liable for any losses incurred at third-party casinos
- Bonus terms, payment conditions, and offers may change — always read the casino's own terms and conditions
If gambling stops being fun, help is available. Contact ConnexOntario (1-866-531-2600), GamTalk, or your provincial problem gambling support service. Please gamble responsibly.
