Affiliate disclosure: how BetterGambling makes money

Affiliate disclosure: how BetterGambling makes money

BetterGambling is free to use, and operators pay us when a reader signs up through one of our links. Commission funds the testing behind every review. It does not decide what those reviews say, and below is exactly where the line falls.

BetterGambling earns commission from some operators

Some links on this site are affiliate links. When you register or start playing through one, the operator may pay us a commission.

Payment terms differ by operator. Some pay a share of what the casino earns, some pay a flat fee per registered player, some combine the two. None of it costs you anything. You get the same price, the same bonus, and the same terms as a reader who reaches the operator another way.

The notice that appears on review and comparison pages says the same thing:

This page may contain affiliate links. If you register or start playing through them, we may receive a commission from the operator. This does not change the price, bonus, or terms for you. We create ratings and recommendations according to our own editorial criteria.

Commission does not buy position, scores, or silence

Rankings follow the scores our reviewers give, and those scores follow published criteria. Money moves nobody up a list.

Commission changes none of the following:

  • Where an operator appears in any ranking or comparison table
  • The score it receives, or any part of that score
  • Whether we report slow payouts, unfair terms, or poor support
  • Whether an operator stays listed after we find a problem

Operators have been marked down and dropped despite paying us, which is the point of the arrangement. Reviews that shift with the commission are worth nothing to a reader, and a site full of them is worth nothing to anyone.

Our writers do not see what an operator pays

Reviewers testing or scoring a casino have no idea what that casino earns us. Commercial terms stay outside the editorial process, and writers cannot access them.

This matters more than a promise of independence. Writers who cannot see the numbers cannot be swayed by them, even without meaning to be. Our staff are never told to keep an operator high in a list, and never asked to soften a review.

Why this arrangement works for you

Commission pays for the work behind the site. Someone has to fund the hours spent reading operator terms, counting game libraries, checking licence registers and re-checking all of it as things change.

Other models work out worse for you. Paywalls put the information behind a price. Data brokering makes you the product. Commission keeps the site free and points our interests at readers who come back, which only happens when the reviews hold up.

Tell us if we got something wrong

Accuracy matters more to us than any single commission. Tell us if you find a figure out of date, a bonus term we described wrongly, or an operator we rated too kindly.

Write to [email protected], and we will check it. Where we got something wrong, we will correct it and say so.
