Who pays for All Year

Every paid link sits on the home page. There are three, each marked Ad. One sits in the menu, one in a block just below the first screen, one near the page's end. All three lead to the same online casino partner.

These links earn the site a commission. The partner behind them can change, so the guide does not name it. Inner pages, from the venue pages to the helpline, carry no paid links at all.

The partner is a private online casino. It is not PlayNow, and it is not licensed in Manitoba. It has no connection with Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries (MBLL). It is also unconnected with the Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis Authority of Manitoba (LGCA) and with every venue in this guide.

MBLL's Voluntary Self-Exclusion does not cover it. In Manitoba, PlayNow.com is the only licensed online gambling site. MBLL runs PlayNow.com and calls it the only legal and regulated multi-product gambling website in the province.

Venues never pay this site. Neither do MBLL, PlayNow or any help service. Links to venues and to help services, such as the Gambling Helpline, are never paid.

No venue can buy a place in the guide or a line in the season planner. The guide lists only what holds from one season to the next: floor and table hours, food, parking, transit, bus tours, hotels and the rules at the door. It leaves out shows, race dates, holiday hours and anything else that changes within weeks; where a venue posts them, the guide points to its own pages.
