Affiliate disclosure

Some links on Gambling Meter are affiliate links. We may earn a commission at no cost to you. This does not influence our rankings or recommendations.

What this means

How affiliate links work on this site

An affiliate link is a tracked link to a casino or gambling site. If you click one of those links and later create an account or deposit, Gambling Meter may earn a commission from the operator.

That commission does not add a cost to you. It also does not change the terms, eligibility rules, account limits, payout rules, or responsible gambling tools that apply after you leave this site.

Our disclosure principles

These rules keep the commercial model separate from the editorial review process.

No cost to you

Using an affiliate link does not add a charge to your deposit, account, or play.

No ranking override

Affiliate relationships do not override our review checks, rankings, or recommendations.

Local redirect paths

Casino links route through local `/go/` pages before leaving this site.

Terms still control

Operator terms, eligibility rules, and payout rules are the final source before depositing.

What affiliate links do not influence

Our ranking process still starts with usefulness and player risk, not with the link relationship.

Ranking checks

  • Whether a site makes terms, eligibility, and account limits clear
  • How payout windows, withdrawal rules, verification, and payment methods compare
  • Whether safer gambling tools are visible before a player deposits
  • How well the game lobby matches the page intent
  • Whether an operator should move down, move up, or be removed from a recommendation

Before you deposit

  • Confirm the operator accepts players in your location and age group
  • Read wagering, max bet, expiry, max cashout, and withdrawal rules
  • Check payment methods, verification steps, and payout timing before depositing
  • Set a budget or deposit limit before opening a gambling session
  • Use operator terms as the final source when details change

Commercial relationships

What compensation means in practice

Compensation supports the cost of researching, editing, hosting, and maintaining this site. It does not make Gambling Meter the operator of a linked product.

When a commission may be earned

A commercial partner may pay Gambling Meter when a reader follows a tracked link and later completes a qualifying action. The qualifying action and reporting method are determined by the commercial agreement. Readers do not pay Gambling Meter to access the comparison content.

A click alone does not create a player account with us. Any registration, identity check, deposit, bet, withdrawal, account limit, or dispute is handled by the destination under its own terms.

Why not every operator appears

We cannot promise that every operator in a market will be reviewed or linked. Product access, location, source quality, editorial scope, and the availability of a working destination can all affect which brands appear on a page.

Absence from a list is not automatically a negative judgment, and inclusion is not certification or regulatory approval. A ranking is a starting point for comparison, not a substitute for checking current eligibility and operator terms.

Tracked links

Affiliate buttons use a local Gambling Meter route before the browser continues to a third-party destination.

The route can carry non-sensitive referral context needed to identify the source page or campaign. It should never require your casino password, payment-card number, identity document, or crypto wallet recovery phrase. Review our privacy policy for more information about website requests and outbound links.

Once the destination loads, its terms, privacy policy, cookies, account controls, and transaction procedures apply. Check the address before entering personal or financial information.

Review independence

Rankings are built from review checks such as terms clarity, payout visibility, game fit, mobile usability, support access, and safer-play controls.

You can read the review model on ourhow we rate page. A site can move down or be removed when the available evidence no longer supports the recommendation.

Questions and corrections

If you believe a commercial relationship has not been disclosed clearly, or that a factual error affects a recommendation, email support@gamblingmeter.net. Include the page URL, the exact text at issue, and a current primary source where possible.

We review corrections on their evidence. A commercial request does not guarantee inclusion, removal, a particular description, or a ranking change.
