2. Site Purpose

Groundcover Theatre operates exclusively as an informational and review platform. We provide independent reviews, guides, comparisons, and educational content about online betting sites and casinos available to Canadian residents. We are NOT a gambling operator, casino, sportsbook, or betting platform ourselves. We do not offer, facilitate, or directly conduct any gambling activities. All gambling services are provided by third-party licensed operators, and you will engage directly with those operators, not with us.

3. Age Restriction

You represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age, or the minimum legal gambling age in your province of residence in Canada, whichever is greater. If you are under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, you are strictly prohibited from using this Site.

You are solely responsible for verifying all information directly with the respective casino operators before engaging in any gambling activity. We are not liable for any inaccuracies, omissions, or changes made by third-party gambling operators.

5. Affiliate Relationship

Groundcover Theatre operates on an affiliate marketing model. When you click links or promotional offers on this Site and subsequently create an account or deposit funds with a recommended casino operator, we may earn a commission or referral fee. This relationship does not influence our editorial opinions or recommendations; however, we disclose this potential financial benefit in the interest of transparency. Our recommendations are based on our independent evaluation of each operator, but you should be aware that we have a financial interest in your choosing to use operators we promote.

IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO US, IF ANY. YOUR USE OF THIS SITE AND RELIANCE ON ANY INFORMATION, REVIEWS, OR RECOMMENDATIONS IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSSES, INJURIES, OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF THIRD-PARTY GAMBLING OPERATORS OR YOUR GAMBLING ACTIVITIES.
