Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: January 2026
How openbookshelves.ca Earns Money
openbookshelves.ca is an independent review website focused on the fastest payout casinos in Canada. To keep our content free for readers, we participate in affiliate partnerships with online casino operators. This means that when you click on certain links on our site and register an account or make a deposit at a partner casino, we may receive an affiliate commission at no additional cost to you. In some cases, our partnerships may even give you access to exclusive bonuses or better terms than you would find by visiting the casino directly.
Our Editorial Independence
Affiliate commissions do not influence our editorial rankings, ratings, or reviews. Our assessments of payout speeds, licensing, game fairness, payment methods, and customer support are based on independent research, hands-on testing, and verifiable data. Casinos cannot pay for a higher ranking, a better score, or a more favourable review. Operators we do not partner with are reviewed using the exact same criteria as our affiliate partners, and we regularly highlight drawbacks and complaints — even for casinos that pay us commissions.
How to Identify Affiliate and Sponsored Links
We believe in full transparency. You can identify affiliate or promotional content on openbookshelves.ca in the following ways:
- Buttons and links labelled with phrases such as "Visit Casino," "Claim Bonus," or "Play Now" are typically affiliate links.
- Sponsored placements or featured operator listings are clearly marked with labels such as "Sponsored," "Ad," or "Partner Offer."
- Outbound links to casino operators from our comparison tables and top lists may generate a commission for us.
- Editorial content that contains no commercial relationship will never be disguised as advertising.
Regulatory Compliance (Canada)
openbookshelves.ca strives to operate in accordance with applicable Canadian laws and industry standards, including the Competition Act (Canada) and guidance from the Competition Bureau regarding deceptive marketing practices and material connection disclosures. We also aim to align with advertising standards set by Ad Standards Canada. Where applicable, we reference only operators licensed by relevant provincial regulators, such as iGaming Ontario (regulated by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario) for the Ontario market. This disclosure is provided so that you clearly understand the material connection between openbookshelves.ca and the casino operators featured on this website.
