- Accept wagers or bets directly from users
- Operate any gambling, betting, or gaming services
- Maintain user accounts or process deposits/withdrawals
- Facilitate gambling transactions
Our sole purpose is to provide informational resources, reviews, guides, and recommendations to help users make informed decisions about third-party betting platforms. To place bets, you must independently access and register with the third-party sportsbooks we review.

If you are under the required age, you must not use this Website.
4. Disclaimer
BarkFest.ca provides information and reviews in good faith, but we make no guarantee of accuracy, completeness, or timeliness. The betting platforms, odds, promotions, terms, and features we describe may change without notice and may not be current at the time you access them.
You are solely responsible for:
- Verifying all information directly with the relevant third-party betting operators before depositing funds or placing bets
- Reviewing and understanding the official terms, conditions, and responsible gambling policies of each platform
- Confirming that the platform is licensed and legally available in your jurisdiction

We are not liable for any losses, damages, or disputes arising from inaccurate or outdated information on our Website, or from your use of any third-party betting platform.
5. Affiliate Relationship
BarkFest.ca is an affiliate website. We earn commissions and other compensation when you click through our links and register with, or make deposits at, the betting platforms we recommend. This creates a financial incentive that may bias our reviews and recommendations.
Our affiliate relationships do not affect your rights or obligations with third-party operators—you are subject only to their respective terms of service. However, you should be aware that:
- We receive financial benefits from referrals
- Our recommendations may be influenced by commission rates and affiliate programs
- We encourage you to conduct your own independent research before choosing a platform
We are committed to transparency and honest reviews, but you should factor our affiliate interests into your evaluation of our content.
