Our Editorial Standards
247iBET is an affiliate-supported iGaming intelligence hub. We earn commissions — and we never let that compromise our recommendations.
How 247iBET Is Funded
247iBET is an independently operated Canadian iGaming intelligence hub. We publish editorial guides, regulatory analysis, and market research to help Canadian bettors make informed decisions.
We partner with licensed operators — including our primary partner, 247iBET. When you click a referral link and create an account, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
Editorial Independence
- Our editorial team evaluates platforms independently of commercial relationships.
- Compensation never influences rankings, ratings, or recommendations.
- We disclose affiliate relationships wherever partner links appear.
- All regulatory data is sourced from official provincial bodies (AGLC, AGCO, AiGC).

Core Principles
Compensation Never Influences Rankings
Whether an operator pays 247iBET a commission has zero bearing on their editorial ranking. We will recommend a non-partner operator over 247iBET when our evaluation criteria warrant it.
Every Claim Is Sourced
Regulatory claims reference official sources: AGCO, iGaming Ontario, AGLC, and the Alberta iGaming Corporation. Market statistics include publication dates and are refreshed within 30 days.
Affiliate Relationships Are Transparent
247iBET earns revenue through affiliate commissions (cost-per-acquisition and revenue-share models). Every page with affiliate links carries a visible disclosure.
Content Is Actively Maintained
Our regulatory sources are reviewed on a 30-day cycle. Stale content is flagged automatically and updated or removed. All guides display their last-reviewed date.
How We Evaluate Operators
Every operator in our guides is evaluated against four weighted criteria. These apply equally to 247iBET and every other operator we review.
Regulatory Compliance
30%Operators must hold valid provincial registration (AGCO for Ontario, AGLC/AiGC for Alberta). We verify licensing status against official registrar databases.
Payout Speed & Reliability
25%We evaluate withdrawal processing times, payment method availability, and documented payout complaints. Interac e-Transfer speed is a key metric for Canadian players.
Trust Score
25%Based on operational history, player dispute resolution, responsible gambling tools, and third-party audit certifications (iTech Labs, eCOGRA, GLI).
User Experience
20%Interface quality, mobile responsiveness, customer support availability, and Canadian-specific features (CAD currency, local payment methods, provincial content).
How 247iBET Is Funded
247iBET earns revenue through two affiliate models:
- Cost-Per-Acquisition (CPA) — We receive a one-time commission when a reader signs up through an affiliate link and becomes a qualified player.
- Revenue Share — We receive an ongoing percentage of the revenue an operator earns from players we refer, creating alignment with player satisfaction.
These arrangements are standard in the regulated iGaming affiliate industry. They allow us to provide free, high-quality editorial content while maintaining independence from operator influence.
