Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: January 2026
This Affiliate Disclosure applies to aquaanimania.ca (the "Website"), a casino review resource focused on instant withdrawal casinos available to players in Canada. Please read it carefully so you understand how this Website is funded and how that may relate to the content you read here.
1. How We Earn Money
aquaanimania.ca participates in affiliate marketing programs with online casino operators and related gaming brands. This means that when you click on certain links on this Website and subsequently register an account, make a deposit, or take another qualifying action with a casino we feature, we may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator.
This comes at no additional cost to you. The bonuses, odds, terms, and conditions you receive are exactly the same whether you arrive via our link or visit the casino directly. In some cases, our partnership may even give you access to exclusive or enhanced welcome offers.
2. Editorial Independence
Our commercial relationships with casino operators do not influence our editorial content, rankings, ratings, or reviews. Specifically:
- Rankings of instant withdrawal casinos are determined by our review criteria — including payout speed, licensing, payment methods (such as Interac), game fairness, customer support, and player experience — not by the size of any commission offered.
- We publish honest assessments, including drawbacks and complaints, even for casinos with which we have affiliate partnerships.
- Operators cannot pay to improve a review score, remove criticism, or guarantee a top ranking.
- If we decline to recommend a casino, no commercial arrangement will change that decision.
Our goal is to help Canadian players find fast, safe, and reputable instant withdrawal casinos. Compromising that trust would undermine the long-term value of this Website.
3. How to Identify Affiliate and Sponsored Links
We believe you should always know when a link may earn us money. You can identify affiliate and sponsored content on aquaanimania.ca in the following ways:
- Outbound casino links — most links that take you from our Website to a casino operator's site are affiliate links, including "Play Now," "Claim Bonus," "Visit Casino," and similar buttons or text links.
- Labelled placements — any sponsored placement, paid promotion, or featured partner content will be clearly labelled as "Sponsored," "Advertisement," "Featured Partner," or similar wording.
- This disclosure page — a link to this Affiliate Disclosure is available in the footer of every page of the Website.
If you are ever unsure whether a link is an affiliate link, assume that it is, or contact us for clarification.
4. Regulatory Compliance
aquaanimania.ca is committed to transparency in line with Canadian advertising and consumer protection standards, including:
- The Competition Act (Canada), which prohibits false or misleading representations and requires that material connections between endorsers and advertisers be disclosed.
- The Canadian Code of Advertising Standards, administered by Ad Standards (AdStandards.ca), which requires that advertising be clearly identifiable as such.
- Provincial gaming frameworks, including the standards of iGaming Ontario / the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) and other provincial regulators, where applicable. We aim to promote only operators that hold valid licences or registrations for the jurisdictions in which they accept players.
Where we reference international best practices, we also take guidance from disclosure principles such as those of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA).
5. Reader Responsibility
While we work hard to keep our reviews accurate and up to date, aquaanimania.ca is an informational resource only. By using this Website, you acknowledge and agree that:
- You are solely responsible for verifying that online gambling is legal in your province or territory and that you meet the minimum legal gambling age (18 or 19, depending on your province).
- You should always read the full terms and conditions of any casino, bonus, or promotion before registering or depositing — offers change frequently and may differ from what is described on this Website.
- Gambling involves risk and should never be treated as a source of income. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
- We are not responsible for any losses, disputes, or issues arising from your relationship with any third-party casino operator.
If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, support is available through resources such as ConnexOntario (1-866-531-2600), GamTalk, or your provincial problem gambling helpline.
