Who pays for Behind the Doors

No page carries paid links except the home page. Three such links exist, and each one bears the Ad mark. The first is in the menu; the second sits in a block directly below the first screen; the third appears near the page's bottom.

Each of the three leads the reader to one partner, an online casino. When a reader follows one, the site earns a commission. That commission is how Behind the Doors is paid for. Each link carries the Ad mark so it reads as a paid link, not as editorial. The partner can change.

Inner pages, including every casino page, carry no paid links. Links to venues, regulators and help services are not paid either. A reader can use the casino pages from start to finish without meeting an ad.

Venues do not pay this site. Neither do casino operators, the province or the help services named on these pages. Links to venues, regulators and help services are there for the reader and carry no payment. Readers get nothing from the site either: it offers no rewards of any kind.

Behind the Doors is no casino. Bets are not taken here, and the site keeps neither accounts nor a cashier. There is nothing to deposit and nothing to win here. Its subject is the eight casinos of the Edmonton area; the guide is independent and has no affiliation with any operator or venue.

In Alberta, anyone who advertises an online gaming site must follow AGLC's standards. An ad must carry a responsible gambling message. It must not target minors or use people who appear to be minors, and it must not link gaming to attractiveness or status. What an operator gives new players may be advertised only on its own site, so nothing of that kind appears here.

The legal gambling age in Alberta is 18. Readers can check any online operator in AiGC's directory of registered iGaming sites at abigaming.ca/players/registered-igaming-sites. An operator missing from that directory is not regulated. Approved operators display the AiGC logo.
