Affiliate Disclosure | faerie-fingers
This site earns money through affiliate partnerships with online casino operators. When you click a link and sign up, we may receive a commission. That is how the lights stay on. Here is exactly how it works — and what it does not change.
Halvard SteinkeDo you make money from these casinos?
Yes. When a reader clicks one of our tracked links and registers or deposits at an operator, that operator pays us a commission. The amount varies by deal — it can be a flat fee, a revenue-share percentage, or a hybrid of both. We receive nothing if you do not sign up. We never charge readers directly. Every operator link on this site is a potential revenue source for us, and we believe you deserve to know that upfront.
Does that change your rankings?
No. Affiliate revenue influences which operators we choose to feature — we only list operators we have reviewed — but it does not dictate the order those operators appear in ranked lists. Scores are calculated from independently assessed criteria: licence quality, bonus terms, payment speed, and customer support. An operator paying us a higher commission rate does not move up the list because of that fact alone.
How is this different from advertising?
Advertising is a fixed fee paid for placement, regardless of outcome. Affiliate commissions are performance-based — we earn only when a reader takes a qualifying action. That structure aligns our incentive with yours to a greater degree: if an operator delivers a poor experience and readers stop converting, our revenue from that operator drops. We still apply editorial scrutiny before featuring any operator.
Can a casino pay to be ranked higher?
No operator can buy a higher editorial ranking. Operators can negotiate commission rates with us, but those negotiations happen separately from the review and scoring process. Our editorial team does not participate in commercial negotiations. If a conflict of interest arises, the operator is either excluded from ranked lists or flagged with a clear notice on the relevant page.
What does an affiliate link look like?
Most affiliate links on this site look like standard buttons or text links pointing to an operator's website. They may contain a tracking parameter in the URL — a short code that tells the operator's system the visit originated here. We do not disguise these links or route them through misleading redirects. If you use a browser extension that flags affiliate URLs, it may highlight these links.
What happens if you stop promoting an operator?
When we end a partnership — because terms change, a licence lapses, or editorial review reveals problems — we remove or replace the operator's links. Existing reviews may remain live as reference material but will be updated to reflect that we no longer actively recommend that operator. We mark those entries clearly so readers are not directed toward a site we no longer endorse. Our 2026 review cycle includes scheduled audits of every active partnership.
