Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: January 2026
icebowl2018.com ("we," "us," or "our") is an independent review website covering the top 10 betting sites available to players in Canada. We believe in full transparency about how this website is funded, so please read the following disclosure carefully.
1. We Earn Affiliate Commissions
icebowl2018.com participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that when you click on certain links on this website and subsequently register, deposit, or wager with an online casino or sportsbook, we may receive a commission from that operator at no additional cost to you. These commissions are how we fund the research, testing, and maintenance of this website.
2. Commissions Do Not Influence Our Rankings
Our editorial integrity is not for sale. Affiliate partnerships do not influence our rankings, ratings, reviews, or recommendations in any way. Our rankings are determined by our editorial team based on independent testing and objective criteria, including licensing and regulation, game selection, bonuses and wagering requirements, payment methods and payout speed, customer support, and overall user experience. Operators cannot pay for a higher position in our lists.
3. How to Identify Affiliate and Sponsored Links
You can identify affiliate links on our website in the following ways:
- Links to casino or sportsbook operators (including buttons labelled "Play Now," "Visit Site," "Claim Bonus," or similar) are typically affiliate links.
- Sponsored content or placements, where applicable, will be clearly labelled as "Sponsored," "Advertisement," or "Paid Promotion."
- Our reviews and top-10 lists contain affiliate links unless otherwise stated.
4. Regulatory Compliance
As a website serving Canadian readers, we are committed to complying with applicable Canadian advertising and consumer protection standards, including the Competition Act and the guidelines issued by the Competition Bureau of Canada regarding disclosure of material connections in advertising and endorsements. We also aim to align with guidance from provincial gaming regulators, such as iGaming Ontario and the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), where applicable.
We only promote operators that hold valid licences appropriate for the jurisdictions in which they operate. Availability of specific operators may vary by province, and it is your responsibility to confirm that a given site is legal and licensed in your province or territory.

- Gambling involves risk, and you should never wager more than you can afford to lose.

- You are responsible for verifying the licensing status, terms, and bonus conditions of any operator before registering or depositing.
- Information on this site is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, financial, or gambling advice.
