Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: January 2026

Welcome to stepitupontario.ca (the "Site"). We believe in full transparency with our readers, so this page explains how we make money and how that does — and does not — affect the content you read here.

1. We Earn Affiliate Commissions

stepitupontario.ca is a review and comparison website focused on Mastercard casinos available to players in Canada. When you click on certain links on this Site and sign up, register, deposit, or play at an online casino, we may receive a commission from that casino operator. This is known as an affiliate relationship, and it is the primary way we fund the operation of this Site — at no additional cost to you.

2. Commissions Do Not Influence Our Rankings or Reviews

Our editorial content is produced independently of our commercial relationships. Affiliate commissions do not determine:

• The ranking or order in which casinos appear on the Site;
• The scores or star ratings we assign;
• The opinions, criticisms, or recommendations expressed in our reviews.

Some casinos we review may not have an affiliate relationship with us at all, while some operators that offer commissions may be rated poorly or excluded from our recommendations entirely. Our reviews are based on factors such as licensing, Mastercard deposit and withdrawal experience, game selection, payout speed, security, and customer support.

3. How to Identify Affiliate or Sponsored Links

You can recognize affiliate or sponsored content on this Site in the following ways:

• Buttons and links labelled "Visit Casino," "Play Now," "Claim Bonus," or similar calls to action are affiliate links.
• Affiliate links may contain tracking parameters (for example, ?aff= or &utm_ in the URL) and may redirect through a tracking domain before reaching the casino.
• Where content is sponsored or paid for by an operator, it will be clearly marked with a label such as "Sponsored," "Ad," or "Paid Placement."

4. Compliance Statement (Canada)

This Site operates in accordance with applicable Canadian laws and guidance, including the Competition Act and the Competition Bureau of Canada's guidance on influencer marketing and online endorsements, which require that material connections between publishers and the brands they promote be clearly disclosed. This disclosure page is provided to satisfy those requirements.

Additionally, we only promote online casino operators that are legally authorized to serve Canadian players. For readers in Ontario, this means operators registered with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) and operating under an agreement with iGaming Ontario, or otherwise lawfully accessible in your province or territory. Offers, bonuses, and availability may vary by province.

5. Your Responsibility as a Reader

• You are responsible for verifying that online gambling is legal in your province or territory and that you meet the minimum age requirement (19+ in most provinces; 18+ in Alberta, Manitoba, and Québec).
• Always read the terms and conditions of any casino or bonus offer before signing up or depositing.
• Gambling involves risk and should be treated as entertainment, not a way to make money. Never gamble more than you can afford to lose.
• If gambling stops being fun, help is available. Contact ConnexOntario at 1-866-531-2600, ConnexOntario.ca, or your provincial problem-gambling support service.
