Affiliate Disclosure
Bitcoin Casinos News is free to read because some of our outbound links to casinos are affiliate links. This page explains exactly how that works, how to spot it, and why it never affects our scores. This disclosure is written to meet UK ASA/CAP and US FTC expectations for clear, conspicuous disclosure.
How we make money
When you sign up to a casino through some of our links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We also carry clearly labelled advertising and, occasionally, sponsored articles. That revenue funds the newsroom — the research, the licence checks and the writing — and keeps the site free.
How to identify an affiliate or paid link
- Outbound links to operators we may earn from use
rel="sponsored nofollow". - Paid display units are labelled “ADVERTISEMENT”; paid articles are labelled “SPONSORED” at the top and in the byline.
- Not every link is commercial: links to regulators, help organisations, source documents and our own pages are never affiliate links.
What commission does not do
Commission never changes a score, a ranking or a verdict. Our Cashout Report weights are fixed and published, and we rank by score, not by commission. We publish negative reviews and sub-7 verdicts, and a casino earns its review before it earns a link — never the reverse. If we cannot secure an affiliate arrangement with an operator, we still review it on the same terms; commercial availability is not a ranking factor.
Editorial independence
Editorial and commercial are separated. Reviewers score against verified facts using the published rubric; no advertiser or affiliate partner sees a score before publication, and none can request a change to one. A partner may ask us to correct a factual error — the same right any reader has — but not to soften a verdict.
Responsible-gaming pages are ad-free
Our responsible-gaming hub and its children — including the self-check — carry no ads and no affiliate links, ever. We never target self-excluded users. Advertising and sponsored placement, where present elsewhere, are labelled and segregated from editorial rankings. See our advertising terms for the full standards. 18+. Gambling involves a house edge and a real risk of loss.
