Affiliate Disclosure
We earn from some of the links on this site. Here is exactly how that works, how to recognise an affiliate link, and why it never changes the verdict we give a casino.
How We Make Money
Some of the outbound links to casinos on this site are affiliate links. These are formatted as /go/<slug> - for example, a link to a reviewed operator might point to /go/example-casino before redirecting you to the casino. If you click one of these links and later choose to play, we may earn a commission. This comes at no extra cost to you: your bonus, terms and balance are exactly the same as if you had visited the casino directly.
How to Tell Which Links Are Affiliate Links
We make affiliate links easy to identify so you always know what you are clicking:
- Affiliate links open in a new tab.
- They carry
rel="sponsored nofollow"in their markup, the standard way of flagging a paid relationship. - They use the
/go/<slug>path before redirecting to the operator. - Not every link is an affiliate link. Many outbound links - to regulators, licensing authorities, game studios and reference sources - earn us nothing at all.
Why It Doesn't Affect Our Scores
Our scoring follows our published methodology, and only that. Commercial relationships never change a verdict, never move a score up or down, and never decide who appears in a "best" list. A casino we earn a commission from can - and sometimes does - still score poorly, and we say so plainly. Reviews and ratings are produced independently of any commercial arrangement, as set out in our editorial policy.
Why Affiliate Funding Exists
Affiliate commission is how this site pays for itself. It keeps CasinoNews.ai free to read - there is no paywall, no subscription and no user accounts to create. You get the full review, the full methodology and the full bonus terms without ever signing up or handing over personal details.
Our promise is simple: independence over commission. If a casino doesn't deserve a good score, it doesn't get one - no matter what we might earn.
