Advertising and Affiliate Disclosure

Casinos.org is free to use, and we want to be open about how that is paid for. This page explains how we make money, what affiliate links are, and why our funding never decides what we recommend. For the full picture of our independence, see our Editorial Guidelines. Last updated: 15 June 2026.

How Casinos.org Makes Money

We earn revenue in two main ways: advertising, and affiliate commissions. Both keep the site free for readers. Neither buys a place in our recommendations. We think you have a right to know how a site like ours is funded, so here is the plain version.

Our Independence Comes First

This is the part that matters most. An operator cannot pay us to improve its rating, climb our rankings, soften a verdict or remove a criticism. Our editorial team produces ratings and recommendations independently, based on testing and our published Review Process, and they are kept separate from our commercial arrangements. If a brand we earn commission from performs badly, we say so and we rank it accordingly. We would rather lose the commission than mislead you.

Advertising on the Site

We may also display advertising, and we may feature operators in promoted placements. Where a placement is paid, we keep the line between advertising and editorial clear, so you can tell the difference between an ad and our genuine assessment. Paid placement never changes the verdicts and scores in our reviews.

What This Means for Your Data

When you click an affiliate link, the operator or its network may set a cookie or pass a tracking parameter so the sign-up can be attributed to us for payment. We explain exactly what this involves, and the limited data it uses, in our Privacy Policy. Non-essential tracking is only used where you have given consent.

Why You Can Trust Our Recommendations

We are upfront about being an affiliate because transparency is part of being trustworthy, not the opposite of it. Our recommendations are based on hands-on testing, verified facts and clear criteria, and our funding model is disclosed rather than hidden. That combination, openness about the money and rigour in the reviews, is how we keep your trust.
