Year by Year is paid for by one kind of link: a paid link to an online casino partner, marked Ad. Those links appear on the home page and on no other page of the site.
The three Ad links
Three paid links appear on the home page, each marked Ad. One sits in the menu, one in a block just below the first screen and one near the end of the page. All three lead to the same online casino partner. No inner page carries one.
The site earns a commission from these links. The partner is not fixed and can change. The links are for Ontario only, and players must be physically located in Ontario to use them.
A private online casino is legal in Ontario only with AGCO registration and an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario. The list of regulated sites is published by iGaming Ontario at igamingontario.ca. Any online casino can be checked against that list before play.
What is never paid
Casinos, OLG, the province and help services never pay this site. Links to the five casinos, to OLG.ca, to ConnexOntario and PlaySmart, and to government pages such as iGaming Ontario and the AGCO are plain links. Nobody pays for them. The site offers readers no rewards, and no casino deals are shown on any page.
Inner pages carry no paid links, and that includes each casino biography. On the home page, the scroll-driven timeline from 1996 to 2026 carries none of them either. The three Ad links sit in the menu, in the block below the first screen and near the end of the page.
Questions
Do the casinos pay for their pages?
The casinos never pay this site. Neither do OLG, the province or help services. Each casino page is a short biography built from dated checks, and it carries no paid links.
Why is the online partner not named?
The partner can change, and the guide does not name it on any page. The home page links to it are marked Ad. Readers in Ontario can check any online casino against the list of regulated sites at igamingontario.ca.
