Editorial Independence

How We Stay Independent

BestLiveCasinos.ca is an affiliate website. We earn a commission when a reader clicks through to an operator we review and goes on to deposit and play. That commercial reality does not change what appears in our reviews or our rankings. This page explains how we keep those two things separate.

This policy applies to every page on bestlivecasinos.ca: reviews, rankings, strategy guides, provider pages, and everything linked from our navigation.

We will never change a ranking, add a positive point, or omit a negative point in exchange for higher commission. If a commercial partner asks us to, we refuse.

How We're Paid

When you click one of our outbound links to an operator and register a new account, we receive either a one-time commission (CPA) or an ongoing share of that operator's net revenue from your play (revenue share). Which model applies varies per partner.

We receive no payment for click-throughs alone, only from registered, verified players.
All commercial relationships are documented and reviewed quarterly.
No editor is paid a bonus tied to the traffic or conversions of any individual review.

What We Don't Do

Accept payment to change a review score or ranking position.
Accept payment to include or exclude specific operators from our coverage.
Publish content that hasn't been fact-checked by an editor independent of the commercial relationship.
Cover operators that don't accept Canadian players — regardless of what they offer to pay.

What We Do

Rank operators on a consistent, published set of criteria (see our review methodology).
Disclose every commercial relationship via the affiliate disclosure.
Update rankings when operator quality changes, even when that hurts revenue.
Publish critical reviews (or refuse to cover an operator) when the quality doesn't meet our standard.

Flagging Concerns

If you see a review you believe is inaccurate, or suspect a conflict of interest in our coverage, email [email protected] with the specific page and concern. We respond to every flagged concern within five business days.
