Affiliate Disclosure
Crypto-Casinos.com earns money through affiliate commissions. When you click certain links to operators on this site and then register or deposit, we may receive a commission from the operator.
The short version
Affiliate partners may compensate Crypto-Casinos.com. If you click certain links to featured operators and then register or use their services, those operators may pay us a commission at no extra cost to you.
These commissions help us cover the costs of running the site, from researching and testing to creating new content and keeping everything up to date.
Affiliate relationships do not affect our verdicts. Operators cannot pay for a “Trusted” rating, list placement, or removal of negative coverage. Our Editorial Policy details how we separate commercial relationships from editorial decisions.
This page describes our practices, what we accept and decline, and how we handle conflicts between commercial relationships and editorial standards.
Which links earn us money
Not every outbound link on this site is an affiliate link.
Some of the links on our review, comparison, and category pages are affiliate links. We clearly mark these as “Go to Site” or similar. If you click a link and sign up or use a service, we might receive a commission from the operator.
Non-affiliate links direct to oversight agencies, responsible gambling organizations, news sources, support services, and other external publications. We do not earn revenue from these links.
Some operators we cover lack affiliate programs or have programs we choose not to join. We may still review and recommend these operators if they meet our criteria. Affiliate relationships do not influence our coverage, verdicts, or review content.
What affiliate relationships do not influence
Verdict
Our editorial assessment and review methodology determine whether an operator is rated Trusted or Not Recommended. Operators that do not meet our criteria may receive a negative verdict, regardless of any commercial relationship.
Coverage
We review operators based on editorial judgment of reader interest and relevance, not on commission opportunities.
Content
Our reviews reflect our testing, research, and findings. We do not alter or omit material information at the request of operators with whom we have commercial relationships.
Ranking and placement
Our editorial team decides where operators appear in our lists, focusing on factors like relevance and what’s best for players. We never let commissions determine placement.
Sponsored content
Whenever we publish sponsored content, we make sure it’s clearly labeled and kept apart from our independent articles.
What we will not accept
We will not accept, from any operator or third party:
- Payment in exchange for a Trusted rating
- Payment for inclusion in any list, ranking, or category page
- Payment for placement priority or top position in any list
- Payment for the removal or softening of negative coverage
- Payment to delay or suppress the publication of an unfavorable review
- Gifts, bonuses, hospitality, or other benefits that could reasonably be perceived as influencing editorial decisions
- Personal gifts to reviewers from operators they cover
If we use testing accounts during our review process, we will disclose this information where appropriate.
When an affiliate partner is rated “Not Recommended”
If an operator with a commercial relationship no longer meets our editorial standards, our editorial assessment takes precedence.
We suspend or end commercial relationships with operators that do not meet our criteria. Commercial considerations never override our editorial judgments.
When appropriate, we allow operators to respond to factual findings before publication. We base editorial decisions on available information at the time, independent of commercial considerations.
Regulatory compliance
- We comply with applicable disclosure requirements and advertising standards in the jurisdictions where we operate.
- We clearly disclose material commercial relationships when required and ensure commercial content is distinct from editorial content.
- We do not knowingly direct affiliate content to individuals below the legal gambling age in their jurisdiction.
- If an operator restricts access from certain countries or regions, we reflect this in our reviews where relevant.
How we choose which operators to partner with
We do not establish affiliate relationships solely because a commission opportunity exists.
Editorial evaluation comes first. Commercial relationships may follow if an operator meets our standards, and we believe the partnership aligns with our commitment to readers.
We may choose not to enter into affiliate relationships with operators whose practices, terms, or expectations conflict with our editorial principles.
