About this guide

Who pays for Nine Glyphs

Three links on the home page, each marked Ad, pay for this guide through a commission from one online casino partner. Nobody pays for a glyph, and no casino, BCLC, PlayNow, TransLink or help service pays this site.

Three marked links

The site carries three paid links, and all of them sit on the home page. One is in the menu. Another appears in a block just below the first screen, and the third is near the end of the page. Each one is marked Ad.

All three lead to the same online casino partner, and the site earns a commission from it. The partner can change, so this page does not name it. Inner pages, including the nine casino pages, carry no paid links at all.

What the partner is not

The partner is a private online casino. It is not PlayNow, and it is not run or licensed by the province. It has no connection with BCLC, the IGCO or any of the nine casinos in this guide.

A BC resident who plays there has none of the provincial protections. PlayNow limits do not apply, and neither does Game Break. A Game Break agreement covers BC gaming facilities and PlayNow.com, not private online casinos. Complaints about the partner cannot go to the IGCO.

What is never paid

Links to casinos are never paid, and neither are links to help services. Casinos, BCLC, PlayNow, TransLink and help services never pay this site.

The marks on a glyph are not for sale either. Each ray, ring and dot is drawn from published facts, so a casino cannot buy a longer ray or a filled dot.

Questions about the marks

Can a casino pay for a longer ray?

No, a casino cannot. A ray's length is the number of hours the floor is open that day, as published. Casinos never pay this site.

Why are there no paid links on the inner pages?

Only the home page carries paid links: three of them, each marked Ad. Casino pages and other inner pages carry none, and links to casinos and help services are never paid.
