Transparency · ca-therapy-guide.ca · Google Ads

Canada-focused. Content is for adults in Canada seeking general information on gambling harm and help-seeking. We do not provide cross-border clinical services and we do not operate gambling.

Adults only. Provincial legal gambling ages are 18 or 19; this site discusses gambling harm and recovery — not for children.

No promotion of gambling. No bonuses, odds, sign-up offers, or affiliate links to operators inside articles.

No healthcare delivery by this publisher. We do not provide therapy, clinical counselling, assessment, or crisis services; we do not enrol patients. Articles are general education only.

No gambling licence. We do not offer real-money gambling; only information and public signposting.

No implied endorsement. Links to ProblemGambling.ca, ConnexOntario, CAMH, Gambling Therapy, and others are independent organizations; we are not their agents and we do not receive referral fees.

Advertisers. Campaigns must follow Google Ads policies for gambling and games, healthcare and medicines policies where applicable, Canadian law, and provincial rules. This website is not a real-money gambling product: it offers harm reduction and help-seeking information. We do not promote operators or facilitate play for money.

No cloaking. HTML is server-rendered; scripts only improve usability (menus, consent) — they do not replace editorial content.
