Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: January 2026
How makerexchange.ca Makes Money
makerexchange.ca is a free, independent review website covering Mastercard casinos available to players in Canada. We do not charge our readers for any content. To keep this website running, we participate in affiliate marketing programs with some of the online casinos and gambling operators featured on our pages.
This means that when you click certain links on our website and subsequently register an account, make a deposit, or complete another qualifying action with a partner casino, we may receive a commission from that operator. This comes at no additional cost to you — the compensation is paid by the operator, not by our readers.
Editorial Independence
Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content, rankings, ratings, or reviews. Our review team evaluates Mastercard casinos based on objective criteria, including licensing and security, payment processing speed, fees, game selection, bonus fairness, and customer support quality.
Casinos cannot pay for a higher ranking, a better review score, or the removal of negative information. Where a casino performs poorly in our testing, we say so — regardless of any commercial relationship we may have with that operator.
How to Identify Affiliate and Sponsored Links
We believe in full transparency about commercial relationships. On makerexchange.ca, affiliate links may appear as:
- Buttons or links labelled "Play Now," "Visit Casino," "Claim Bonus," or similar calls to action
- Links within casino review tables, comparison lists, and "top casino" rankings
- Sponsored placements or featured offers, which will be clearly labelled as "Sponsored," "Partner Offer," or "Advertisement" where applicable
If a piece of content has been sponsored or created in partnership with an operator, this will be clearly disclosed at the top of the relevant page.
Compliance Statement
makerexchange.ca is committed to transparent disclosure practices in line with Canadian advertising and consumer protection standards, including the guidance of Ad Standards Canada and the Competition Bureau of Canada regarding deceptive marketing practices and material connection disclosures. Where our content may reach audiences in other jurisdictions, we also aim to align with internationally recognized disclosure principles, such as those of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA).
We only promote gambling operators that hold valid licences and are legally permitted to offer their services to Canadian players in the relevant provinces and territories.
Your Responsibility as a Reader
While we work hard to keep our reviews accurate and up to date, casino bonuses, terms, payment methods (including Mastercard acceptance), and licensing conditions can change at any time. It is your responsibility to:
- Read and understand the terms and conditions of any casino before registering or depositing
- Verify that online gambling is legal in your province or territory and that you meet the minimum legal gambling age (18 or 19, depending on your location in Canada)
- Gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose
If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling, support is available through resources such as ConnexOntario (1-866-531-2600) or your provincial problem gambling helpline.
