Affiliate disclosure
Casino Gambling Network is free to read. It is paid for by commissions from some of the sites we write about. This page explains how that works, so you can weigh what you read with the full picture.
Who earns the commission
Casino Gambling Network is operated by Cutwaterholm Digital Limited, registered address Madison Building, Midtown, Queensway, Gibraltar GX11 1AA. Email: [email protected].
How affiliate links work
Many of our buttons and links to operators go through an address that starts with /go/. When you click one, our redirect service sends you on to the operator or to its affiliate network and passes along an anonymous visitor ID. If you then open an account and play, the operator can match the sign-up to our site and may pay us a fee. Depending on the agreement, that fee can be a one-off amount per new customer or a share of the revenue the operator earns from referred players over time. The technical side, including the cookies involved, is described in our privacy policy.
What it costs you
Nothing. You do not pay more, and the operator's bonus is not reduced, because you arrived through our link. If you prefer not to use an affiliate link, type the operator's address into your browser instead; the guides are just as useful either way.
What the money can influence
We want to be straight about this. Commercial agreements can affect which sites appear in our lists and in what order they are shown. An operator we have no agreement with may not be listed at all, even if it is a reasonable choice. The five points we check for every listed site are set out on How We Rate Sites.
What it does not influence
Payments do not change what our guides say about betting rules, odds, payouts or the law. We do not accept money to describe an offshore site as licensed in the US, to hide unfavourable bonus terms or to leave out risks. Our guides on bet types, betting math and state law contain no paid placements.
How to recognise a commercial link
Buttons such as “Visit site” or “Claim bonus” next to a listed operator, and operator names in our lists that lead to an address beginning with /go/, are affiliate links. Links to leagues, regulators, news sources and help services are ordinary links and earn us nothing. We do not publish paid articles disguised as guides, and we do not sell space in our betting guides to operators.
How we keep the guides honest
The facts in our guides come from state regulators, league rules and the operators' own published terms, and each guide lists its sources. When an operator changes a bonus, tightens its wagering rules or slows down payouts, we update the page whether or not we earn from that operator. If a listed site stops meeting the points we check, it can be moved down or removed even if that costs us commission. If you think a page reads like an advert rather than a guide, tell us and we will review it.
Offshore operators
The operators we are paid by are licensed outside the United States and are not regulated by US state gaming authorities. A commission from them is not a sign that they are safe or legal where you are. Check your state's rules first, and choose a state-licensed app where one is available.
Age and responsible play
Our links are meant for adults aged 21 and over. We do not want commission from anyone who is underage or who is betting more than they can afford. If that might be you, call, text or chat the free National Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-MY-RESET (1-800-697-3738), available 24/7.
