Who pays for Ontario.gg
Updated By the Ontario.gg Editorial Team
The short version: nobody pays Ontario.gg for anything today. There are no affiliate links on the site, no sponsored placements and no agreements with operators.
How the site intends to earn
The plan is affiliate income. A sportsbook or poker site from the iGaming Ontario catalogue would pay us when a reader who followed our link opens an account there, either as a one-time fee or as a share of the revenue that account brings in. Before the first paid link goes live, this page will be updated to say which model applies.
How a paid link will look
It will say it is paid. It will pass through a redirect on our own domain, so a changed address gets fixed once instead of on every page, and it will carry the “sponsored” tag that search engines read. Next to it will sit the line 19+ · play responsibly · ConnexOntario 1-866-531-2600.
Which sites could qualify
Only sites in the iGaming Ontario catalogue. The AGCO says that affiliates advertising to the Ontario market must not also advertise gaming sites that operate in Ontario without AGCO registration, and it makes operators responsible for checking (Standard 1.21). Ontario.gg names no unregistered site as a place to bet, on any page.
Ratings money can't move
A score, a place in a list, the wording of a review, or silence about an AGCO penalty. Ratings follow the published method on How we rate, and until reviews exist our lists run in alphabetical order. A partner that disagrees with a review has the same route as any reader: a correction request with evidence.
Why there are no bonus offers here
Standard 2.05 bars public advertising of gambling inducements, bonuses and credits. The exceptions are the operator's own site or app, and messages to players who agreed to receive offers. The AGCO counts links and descriptions provided by affiliates as advertising under that rule, so you won't find bonus amounts, sign-up offers or codes on Ontario.gg, with or without a partnership.
