One paid link, on one page
One paid link, pointing to an online casino partner, keeps the flyer going. That link sits on the home page and is clearly marked Ad.
No other page carries ads. The inner pages, including this one, have none.
How the money works
The partner pays the flyer a commission. The partner can change over time. If it does, the new link is marked the same way.
The commission does not shape what the flyer says about the casino on United Boulevard, the theatre, the bus routes or anything else. The how the flyer is made page explains where the facts come from.
What the partner is not
The paid link is something other than PlayNow. Neither BCLC nor the province runs it. The flyer does not claim the partner is licensed, approved or regulated, and the ad should not be read that way.
For context, PlayNow.com counts as the single legal place to gamble online in B.C. under provincial rules. PlayNow is run by BCLC. Other sites may be reachable here, but without a B.C. licence they are not legal. There is more on this on the casino online in BC page.
What is never paid
- Links to the venue's own site are not paid.
- Links to PlayNow, BCLC and GameSense are not paid.
- Links to TransLink and Ticketmaster are not paid.
- Links to Gambling Support BC and other support services are not paid.
No venue pays for coverage. That includes Great Canadian Casino Vancouver and the casinos on the nearby casinos page. There are no sponsored listings and no paid reviews.
Adults only, and help if you need it
Gambling in British Columbia is for adults 19 and older. The flyer is written for adults.
Should gambling stop being fun, Gambling Support BC can be reached free of charge, 24/7, at 1-888-795-6111. The gambling support page lists other options, including Game Break.
