## Regulatory essentials for Canadian sponsorships (iGaming Ontario, AGCO, Kahnawake)
EXPAND: Ontario operates under iGaming Ontario (iGO) and AGCO: if an operator plans to market into Ontario, only iGO-licensed operators should be in ads or affiliate lists; provincial rules on advertising and responsible gaming must be observed. For ROC provinces, Kahnawake licensing and provincial monopolies dominate the regulatory landscape, so include a legal carve-out stating “no marketing or services in jurisdictions that prohibit this content.” Next, we’ll close with FAQs and responsible gaming.

## Mini-FAQ (for Canadian operators)
Q: Can I include Playtech slots in Ontario promotions?
A: Only if the operator and the marketing comply with iGO/AGCO rules; always verify the operator’s Ontario license status before running ads.
Q: Which payment method should I require in the contract?
A: Prioritize Interac e-Transfer, iDebit/Instadebit, and support for Visa/Mastercard debit; require CAD settlement windows (48–72 hours ideal).
Q: How do I benchmark a fair rev-share?
A: Use the comparison table above; mid-market rev-share typically sits between 12–25% depending on exclusivity and traffic guarantees.
Q: Are gambling winnings taxable for Canadian players?
A: For recreational players, winnings are usually tax-free in Canada; professional gamblers are an exception and CRA treatment can vary.

Common Mistakes Recap & Final Prompt
