Royal Vegas: a programme link that would have sent an Ontario player to the wrong company
Four addresses in the sheet this operator's programme sent out point to the wrong jurisdiction. We checked them one by one, we reported them, and two of the four belong to this brand.

A sheet of links, read line by line instead of pasted
The ordinary way an affiliate site acquires its links is to receive a spreadsheet from an affiliate manager (by electronic mail, as an attachment) and paste the column into a template, and that is the mechanical step where almost all of the damage in this trade gets done. The sheet this programme circulated on 14 October 2026 contains eighty-odd addresses for Canada (ninety, counting the French rows), and reading them one at a time rather than pasting them turned up four that do not go where their own labels say.
Two of the four belong to this brand, and the shape of the error is instructive. The rows marked for an Ontario "one-dollar" entry point at "offers.royalvegascasino.com", which is the ".com" domain serving the rest of the country, and not at "royalvegas.ca", which is the Ontario site; a player in Toronto following them would land on the company that does not hold an Ontario registration (Baytree, rather than Cadtree). An "offers." host is a marketing machine rather than a casino, built to carry whatever campaign is running this month, and what somebody did in that spreadsheet was map a province onto a campaign; a province is not a campaign, and the two registers are the reason it is not.
That is not a typographical matter but the difference between an operator that has accepted the province's standards and one that has not. The reader is the party who would have carried the consequence.
What a refusal costs, and why we took it anyway
Leaving those two rows out costs us the most commercially interesting page of the set, because a "one-dollar" entry converts better than a home page (by a wide margin) and everybody in this trade knows it. We have the links, they work, and clicking one would pay us exactly as any other does.
The reason they are absent is that a commercial link is a recommendation whether or not it is dressed as one, and recommending an unregistered entity to a reader in a province that keeps a register is the one thing an affiliate in Ontario may not do (Standard 1.21 of the Registrar's Standards obliges registered operators not to work with affiliates who promote unregistered sites). The provincial page therefore carries the ".ca" address and nothing else. What the misrouted row would actually have done to a reader is worth setting out, because the harm is not the click but everything after it: he would have opened an account with Baytree rather than Cadtree, deposited into it, and found his balance sitting with a company that has no Ontario complaints route attached to it. Moving to the registered site afterwards is not a change of address but a second registration (two accounts, two balances, two sets of terms), because nothing carries across from one company to the other, and the reader would have discovered that at the point of a withdrawal rather than at the point of a deposit.
We reported the four rows to the programme on the day we found them. They had already been reported for a sibling site on the same date and had not been corrected, which is worth knowing about a sheet before anybody trusts the next column of it.
What nobody here has verified about this casino
We have not opened an account at Royal Vegas, and the group's servers turn away requests from outside Canada, so the "cashier", the live catalogue and the full terms went unread from this desk. Two documents remain (a sheet and a column of addresses), and they are the only two this page uses.
The first is the set of addresses themselves, which carry their own evidence: "royalvegascasino.com/ca/" names the country, and "royalvegascasino.com/fr/" names the language. The second is the "factsheet", which gives the year 2000 (a minimum deposit of ten dollars) a "play-through requirement" of thirty-five times and a list of account languages that includes "English (Canadian)" and "French (Canadian)". The year is the part of that document doing the least selling and the most placing, because a brand trading since 2000 is older than the Alderney regime that licenses it today and twenty-two years older than the Ontario market it now sits inside, which is the sort of thing a reader can hold against a footer that talks about experience.
Against that, three boxes on the card above hold question marks: the settlement currency, the "withdrawal window" and the payment routes open to a Canadian account. Those are the three a reader can settle in two minutes on the cashier page, and we would rather he did that than read our guess!
The licence, and what it is for
Baytree (Alderney) Limited holds the "category 1" licence from the Alderney Gambling Control Commission (a Channel Islands regulator) that covers this brand outside Ontario, and the commission publishes the list its licensees sit on, so the entry is a public record rather than a line of footer text. A Kahnawake "permit", issued to Baytree Interactive Limited (a second company, in a third jurisdiction), sits beside it.
A licence is narrow in its use and worth stating narrowly: it gives a player somewhere to go once the operator's own complaints process has run out. Which of this brand's three authorities is that somewhere depends on where the player lives, and that belongs to the page kept here on licences.
So a brand with three instruments on its footer may still hold none that covers your address. The licence that matters to a reader in Winnipeg is Alderney's, and the one that matters to a reader in Ottawa is Ontario's.
Ontario, and the register that settles the question
Cadtree Limited appears on the Ontario register with four brands, Royal Vegas among them, and the same four names appear in Alberta under the same company, which few groups in our index manage. Both lists (with the dates their regulators give them) sit on the longer treatment under provinces.
What a reader gets from that entry is a regulator in his own province, a shared exclusion scheme covering every registered site at once, and advertising standards that forbid us to put an offer in front of him. The last of those looks like a loss and is not: a page with nothing to sell has nothing to gain by misdescribing a licence.
Readers who connect from Ontario or from Alberta are sent to the page written for their province, and that page carries the provincial address (the ".ca" one) rather than this one.
The dollar, and what two addresses prove between them
"Royalvegascasino.com/ca/" and "royalvegascasino.com/fr/" are two paths, and between them they establish a fact that no amount of copy can: this brand maintains separate Canadian pages in both official languages, and somebody is paying to keep them. That is the test this site applies in place of a rating, because a path can be read by anyone and a rating cannot.
What the paths leave open is the currency behind the deposit form, and the factsheet does not answer it either. The four broken rows above are the more interesting silence: a sheet that misroutes a "one-dollar" entry to the wrong company is a sheet whose currency column nobody has checked either, and what the currency question costs over an ordinary year is set out on the page kept here on Canadian dollar accounts.
We could not establish which currency this operator settles in, and the cashier page can settle it for a reader in a single field before any money moves.
The catalogue (the engine) and the one line that is not a selling point
Games Global runs this lobby (twelve brands in our index, one engine) and the live tables come from the suppliers the factsheet names, among them "OnAir Entertainment", "Evolution", "NetEnt" and "Red Tiger". The game count is for that reason absent from the card above: a number that belongs to an engine shared by twelve brands tells a reader nothing about the one he is looking at, whereas a licence number tells him who he would be contracting with.
Two admissions in the operator's own sheet deserve to survive into a page about it. There is no telephone support (chat and electronic mail only), and there is no sportsbook product; both are stated by the brand rather than discovered by us, and a reader who wants either should know before he registers rather than after.
What is left to do with all of this is short enough to carry in the head. Decide which province you are in, because that decides which company you would be dealing with; read the currency on the cashier page before the offer; and if an offer is put in front of you, run the thirty-five times through the calculator on the page we keep on wagering requirements before deciding what it is worth.
A last word belongs to the four rows, because the episode generalises past this brand: an affiliate site is a layer of transcription between a programme and a reader ("paste the column, publish the page", as the work is usually done), and every error in the source survives that layer unless somebody reads it. Four errors in ninety-odd rows is not a scandal. Four errors that nobody caught for a week (in rows that point a provincial player at an unregistered entity) very nearly is!

Questions readers ask
Why is there no one-dollar offer link for Ontario here?
Because the two addresses the programme supplied for it point at "offers.royalvegascasino.com", which is the site for the rest of Canada and not the Ontario one. An Ontario player following that link would arrive at the company that is not on the provincial register, so we left both out.
Is royalvegas.ca the same casino as royalvegascasino.com?
No. The provincial site belongs to Cadtree Limited and appears on the register of iGaming Ontario (the subsidiary that contracts with the operators); the international one is licensed to Baytree (Alderney) Limited. Separate companies, separate licences and separate balances.
Does the site work in French?
Yes. The programme supplies a "royalvegascasino.com/fr/" address for the rest of Canada, and the factsheet lists "French (Canadian)" among the languages of the account, which is the kind of detail that distinguishes a brand serving Québec from one that merely tolerates it.
What is the play-through requirement?
Thirty-five times, stated in the operator's own factsheet of 14 October 2026. We publish the multiplier because the operator published it, and we publish no amount at all.
