Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 2026-05-11

Slapshot Diaries is an editorial site supported in part by affiliate commissions. This page explains how that works and why it does not compromise editorial independence.

1. How Affiliate Links Work

Throughout this site, some outbound links to operators are formatted as /go/<brand>. When you click one of these links, you are redirected to the operator’s site through a tracked URL. If you later register and play, the operator may pay Slapshot Diaries a commission. The price or terms you encounter are the same as if you had visited the operator directly — you are not charged anything extra.

2. Editorial Independence

No operator pays for placement, ranking, or favourable coverage on Slapshot Diaries. Our rankings, ratings, and recommendations are based on:

• Regulatory standing (we only feature operators registered with iGaming Ontario and the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario on our Ontario-facing pages)
• Game catalogue breadth and software providers
• Payment methods, processing speed, and minimum deposit thresholds
• Customer support availability and response quality
• Player protection tools (deposit limits, self-exclusion, time-on-device)
• Security and licensing

If our criteria conflict with what an operator wants us to write, our criteria win.

3. Current Partner Operators

The following AGCO-registered operators have an affiliate relationship with Slapshot Diaries. Their inclusion reflects regulatory standing first, commercial relationship second; comparable operators without an affiliate relationship may still be referenced in editorial content where relevant.

Casino: Casino Days, 888casino, JackpotCity, LeoVegas, Spin Casino, Royal Vegas, TonyBet, ToonieBet, FireVegas, Tippz.

Sports: 888sport, LeoVegas Sport, TonyBet Sport, Caesars Sportsbook, ToonieBet Sport, NorthStar Bets.

4. Commercial Compensation Disclosure

In accordance with the Canadian Competition Bureau’s deceptive marketing guidelines and the FTC’s endorsement guides, we disclose that Slapshot Diaries may earn compensation from each of the operators listed above when readers register and play. The specific commission structure varies by operator and is not disclosed in detail because it is confidential commercial information; however, in no case does the commission depend on a player’s losses.

5. What We Do Not Do

• We do not write paid testimonials that pretend to be independent editorial.
• We do not feature operators that lack a valid Ontario licence on our Ontario-facing pages.
• We do not present gambling as a way to make money, escape problems, or achieve social status.
• We do not target minors and do not use imagery designed to appeal to minors.

6. Reporting Concerns

If you believe a specific piece of content on this site is misleading or sponsored without proper disclosure, please contact us via the address on our homepage. We take editorial integrity seriously and will correct or remove content that fails our standards.

7. Responsible Gambling Reminder

Even an honest review of a regulated operator does not make gambling risk-free. Set limits, never chase losses, and contact ConnexOntario (1-866-531-2600) or visit our Responsible Gambling guide if gambling is causing harm to you or someone you know.
