Look, at Craft Arts, we’re not spinning yarns about being some ivory-tower think tank – running a site like this takes loonies to keep the lights on (and yeah, fuel for my endless Tim Hortons runs). That’s why you’ll spot affiliate links sprinkled across our casino reviews and guides. I’m Quinn Savard, founder of Casino Market Commerce Center right here in Trois-Rivières, and I want to lay it all out plain: what these partnerships mean, and more importantly, what they don’t.
What These Partnerships Actually Mean
Click one of our links, sign up at a recommended online casino, and if you start playing – boom, we might snag a commission from the operator. For you? Zero difference. You grab the exact same welcome bonuses, terms, and CAD-friendly perks as if you’d wandered in cold. The casino just kicks us a finder’s fee for steering quality Canadian traffic their way – think of it as them saying “thanks” without touching your bankroll or odds.
What They Absolutely Do NOT Mean
Let’s be crystal:
- We don’t pocket cash to hype up shady Curacao casinos or gloss over withdrawal nightmares.
- No buying top spots in our rankings – positions come from real tests, not wallets.
- Defects like endless KYC delays or hidden geo-fences? We air ’em out, partner or not.
My engineering roots from Polytechnique Montréal taught me precision – we stick to facts, not fluff.
How This Shapes Our Reviews
Affiliate earnings? They fuel the freedom to grind through hands-on tests: probing RNG fairness on Microgaming slots, timing Interac payouts, or grilling support on AGCO compliance. Without that revenue, we’d be scraping by on PR spin and generic copy-paste jobs. Bad casino dragging feet on MGA audits? We call it. Gem with seamless mobile play for Quebec folks? Full props. It’s unbiased because our rep hinges on trust, not one-off commissions.
Why the Full Disclosure?
I’ve seen too many “independent” sites raking in affiliate dough under the radar while preaching purity – turns my stomach. Better to own it upfront: yes, Craft Arts makes bank from links, but hell no, it doesn’t bend our needles. This transparency lets you weigh our words knowing the score, from offshore tax free casinos perks to provincial safe plays.
The Bottom Line
YES, affiliate links power the site and let us deliver deep-dive reviews for Canucks. NO, we won’t sell our souls or bury the truth for a payout. YES, every rec stems from our Trois-Rivières team’s real stakes and straight talk – pros, cons, and the occasional “eh, steer clear.”
