Affiliate disclosure

The short version

Best Licensed Casinos contains affiliate links. If you click a link to a casino and open an account, the casino may pay us a commission. This costs you nothing and does not reduce any bonus you receive. Commissions do not influence our ratings, rankings or the content of our reviews.

How affiliate links work

Links to casinos on this site (buttons labelled "Claim bonus", "Visit" or similar) pass through our own redirect and contain a tracking code identifying Best Licensed Casinos as the referrer. If you register and deposit, the casino attributes your account to us and pays a commission under one of these models:

• Revenue share: a percentage of the casino's net revenue from referred players over time.
• CPA (cost per acquisition): a one-off payment for each referred player who deposits.
• Hybrid: a combination of the two.

These links are marked with rel="sponsored" in the page code, as recommended by search engines, and the redirect pages are excluded from search indexing.

What this means for you

• You pay nothing extra. Your bonus, odds and terms are identical whether you use our link or go direct.
• We do not receive any personal data about you from the casino; attribution is anonymous.
• You are never obliged to use our links.

Why commissions do not affect our ratings

We maintain a strict separation between editorial and commercial activity:

• Ratings are finalised by the editorial team, using the published methodology, before any commercial conversation about a casino takes place.
• We review casinos regardless of whether they have an affiliate programme or whether we are accepted into it.
• We do not sell rankings, placements, review scores or "sponsored" positions. Every position on every list is determined by score.
• We do not remove or soften critical content at an operator's request. We correct factual errors when shown evidence.
• The commission rate a casino offers has no bearing on its score or placement. Several highly rated casinos on this site pay lower commissions than lower-rated ones.

What we do not do

• We do not accept payment for reviews or positive coverage.
• We do not publish operator-written content presented as editorial.
• We do not use fake countdown timers, "limited slots" claims or other urgency tactics.
• We do not promote unlicensed casinos, regardless of commission offered.
• We do not target our content at people under 18 or at people who have self-excluded.

Casino names and trademarks

Casino names, logos and trademarks referenced on this site belong to their respective owners. Their use here is for identification and review purposes only and does not imply endorsement of Best Licensed Casinos by any operator.

Accuracy of bonus information

Bonus terms change frequently and vary by country. We check terms monthly and note the last-updated date on every page, but the casino's own terms and conditions always take precedence over anything published here. Always read the terms on the casino's site before depositing.
