GoSloPlay is a casino review and information website that provides independent reviews, guides, and recommendations for online casinos, sportsbooks, and poker sites serving Canadian players. This page explains how GoSloPlay generates revenue and maintains editorial independence.
Affiliate Relationships
GoSloPlay participates in affiliate marketing programs with online gambling operators. When visitors click on certain links on our website and complete specific actions (such as registering an account or making a deposit), we may receive compensation from the gambling operator.
Types of Compensation
We may receive compensation through the following models:
- Cost Per Acquisition (CPA): A one-time payment when a referred user registers and meets qualifying criteria, typically making a first deposit.
- Revenue Share: An ongoing percentage of the net gaming revenue generated by referred players over time.
- Hybrid Agreements: A combination of upfront payments and ongoing revenue share.
- Fixed Fee Arrangements: Pre-negotiated monthly or annual payments for placement or promotional activities.
The specific compensation arrangements vary by operator and are subject to confidential commercial agreements.
Editorial Independence
GoSloPlay maintains full editorial independence in all content creation and review processes. Our ratings, rankings, and recommendations are based on objective testing criteria and are not influenced by the amount of compensation we may receive from any particular operator.
