What Is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a performance-based commercial arrangement in which a website (the affiliate) earns a commission when it refers visitors to another business (the merchant) who then complete a qualifying action — typically registering an account or making a deposit.
How ManonCyr.ca Earns Revenue
ManonCyr.ca earns revenue through affiliate arrangements with online casino operators. When you click a "Play Now", "Claim Bonus", or similar link on this Site and subsequently register an account and/or make a qualifying deposit at the casino operator, we receive a commission payment. This commission is paid by the casino operator — not by you.
The commission we earn does not affect the price of any casino's services, the bonus amounts offered to players, or any other terms you receive as a player.
Does This Affect Our Reviews?
No. Our editorial independence is the foundation of our reputation. Here is how we protect it:
- We review before we list. Every casino undergoes our independent review process before any affiliate agreement is signed.
- We decline many partnerships. Casinos that do not meet our standards are declined, regardless of commission rates offered.
- We remove casinos. If a casino's quality declines after listing, we reduce their score or remove them — even if we lose commission income.
- Scores are algorithm-based. Our ratings are generated from a weighted scoring matrix across 8 categories. Casino operators cannot pay to improve their score.
- We disclose relationships. This page exists specifically to maintain transparency.

Operators We Work With
We maintain affiliate relationships with licensed casino operators serving Canadian players. The casinos featured prominently on this Site typically have active affiliate arrangements. However, we occasionally include casinos in our content without an affiliate relationship when they are genuinely noteworthy — in those cases, links may go directly to the casino without tracking.
