Last Updated: 2026

Welcome to Dowling's Groundworks (dowlingsgroundworks.ca). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of our website and all content, services, and information provided thereon. By accessing and using this website, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use this website.

By accessing dowlingsgroundworks.ca, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service in their entirety. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and anyone who interacts with our website. If you do not accept these Terms, you must cease use of the website immediately.

2. Site Purpose

Dowling's Groundworks is an informational and review website dedicated to providing educational content, comparisons, and reviews of sports betting platforms available in Canada. We are NOT a gambling operator, sportsbook, or licensed casino. We do not offer, operate, or facilitate any gambling services, sports betting, or gaming activities directly.

Our website serves solely to provide information, reviews, guides, and recommendations about third-party gambling operators. Any gambling or sports betting activities must be conducted directly with licensed operators through their own platforms.

3. Age Restriction

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the minimum legal gambling age in your province or territory in Canada, whichever is higher) to access and use this website. By using this website, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement. We reserve the right to restrict access to users who do not meet the minimum age requirement. Parents and guardians are responsible for preventing minors from accessing this website.

4. Disclaimer

While we strive to provide accurate, up-to-date, and reliable information about sports betting platforms and casinos in Canada, we make no guarantees regarding the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the information contained on this website. Sports betting regulations, operator terms, bonuses, and promotions change frequently and without notice.

You should always verify all information directly with the gambling operators' official websites before making any decisions or deposits. We are not responsible for any inaccuracies, outdated information, or changes made by third-party operators after information is published on our site.

Gambling involves risk and may result in financial loss. Sports betting outcomes are unpredictable. We do not guarantee winnings, predict results, or claim any gambling strategy is effective. If you choose to gamble, do so responsibly and only with funds you can afford to lose.

5. Affiliate Relationship

Dowling's Groundworks is an affiliate website. We earn affiliate commissions and referral fees when users click on links to gambling operators featured on our website and create accounts or make deposits. This creates a financial relationship between us and the operators we promote.

Despite this affiliate relationship, we strive to provide honest, unbiased reviews and comparisons. However, you should be aware that our recommendations may be influenced by the commission structure and affiliate agreements we have in place. We only recommend operators that we believe meet reasonable standards of legitimacy and player protection.

Our affiliate relationships do not change our commitment to transparency or the accuracy of the factual information we provide about each operator's features, games, and licensing.
