Affiliate Disclosure
CasinoRIX publishes casino reviews, comparison pages, bonus information, payment guides, and other online gambling content. Some pages on CasinoRIX may include links to online casinos, operators, affiliate networks, or other commercial partners.
This Affiliate Disclosure explains, in plain language, how CasinoRIX earns money from those links, how our affiliate relationships work, and how we keep commercial partnerships separate from our editorial ratings.
CasinoRIX is free to use. We earn money through affiliate partnerships: when a reader clicks certain links on our site and later completes a qualifying action on a partner site (for example registering, making a deposit, or claiming a promotion), the operator may pay us a commission. This never adds any cost for you. The operator pays the fee, not the reader.
Affiliate partnerships influence which casinos and offers appear on CasinoRIX. They do not influence the ratings, scores, or rankings those casinos receive. A casino that pays a higher commission does not get a better score, a higher position, or the removal of negative information. A casino with documented unresolved complaints receives a lower rating regardless of its commercial terms. Our ratings are not for sale.
How those ratings are produced, including our hands-on testing process, is documented on our How We Rank Casinos page.
Who CasinoRIX is
CasinoRIX is an independent online casino information and comparison website. We are not a casino, sportsbook, or gambling operator. We do not accept wagers, hold player funds, issue bonuses, process payments, or operate any gambling product. We do not hold a gambling licence because we do not provide gambling services.
CasinoRIX is not owned by a casino operator and is not part of an operator-controlled affiliate network. Editorial decisions, such as which casinos we cover, how we rate them, and what we publish about them, are made by our editorial team, not by any operator.
How CasinoRIX Makes Money
CasinoRIX earns revenue through affiliate partnerships with casino operators, advertising partners, and affiliate networks. When a reader clicks a partner link on CasinoRIX and later completes a qualifying action on the operator’s website, the operator may pay CasinoRIX a commission.
Depending on the partnership, that commission may be based on actions such as:
- visiting a casino website;
- creating an account;
- making a first deposit;
- claiming a bonus;
- becoming an active player;
- meeting another agreed commercial condition.
The commission models we use are standard for the industry and generally fall into three types:
- CPA (cost per acquisition) – a one-time fixed fee when a referred reader completes a qualifying action;
- Revenue share an ongoing percentage of the operator’s net revenue from the referred player;
- Hybrid – a combination of the two.
Specific commission terms for individual operators are confidential commercial arrangements and are not published. The existence of a commercial relationship, however, is disclosed, both on the page that contains the link and on this Affiliate Disclosure page.
This revenue funds the work behind CasinoRIX: research, real-money testing, content production, translation across our markets, website maintenance, updates, and free access to all of our casino information.
Does Using an Affiliate Link Cost You More?
No. Using an affiliate link on CasinoRIX does not add an extra cost to you. The commission is paid by the operator.
The casino’s own terms, payment rules, bonus conditions, withdrawal limits, verification checks, and account decisions are set entirely by the operator. CasinoRIX does not control those conditions. Before registering, depositing, or claiming any offer, always check the operator’s official terms and conditions.
What Counts as an Affiliate Link?
An affiliate link is a link that allows CasinoRIX or one of our partners to recognise that a reader reached a casino website through CasinoRIX.
Some affiliate links look like ordinary buttons or text links. Others use tracking parameters, redirect links, or partner tracking systems. A “Visit Casino”, “Claim Bonus”, or “Play Now” button typically leads through an affiliate tracking link.
How we mark commercial links
To make commercial links easy to recognise, and to comply with search engine and advertising rules, CasinoRIX:
- applies the appropriate link attributes (rel=”sponsored” and/or rel=”nofollow”) to affiliate and commercial links, so they are not treated as plain editorial endorsements by search engines;
- places a short disclosure label near commercial buttons, partner offer blocks, and featured-offer cards, at the point where readers interact with them, rather than relying only on this page.
This point-of-click labelling is intentional: a disclosure that only lives on a separate page is not enough. We want the commercial nature of a link to be clear where you click it.
What Affiliate Tracking Means (and Your Privacy)
Affiliate tracking attributes traffic or qualifying actions to CasinoRIX. It lets a partner recognise that a reader clicked through from our website, which is how the operator knows a commission may be due.
Tracking is typically handled through:
- cookies – small files stored in your browser; and/or
- postback / server-to-server tracking – a back-end exchange of conversion data between the operator and our tracking system.
You can manage or delete cookies in your browser settings, and readers in the EU and other applicable regions can decline non-essential cookies through our consent banner. How we handle personal data is explained in full in Privacy Protection Policy section on our Terms & Conditions page, and our use of cookies is described on our Cookie Policy page.
Affiliate tracking does not mean CasinoRIX controls the operator’s website, account registration, verification process, payment handling, bonus approval, withdrawal decisions, or customer support. Once you leave CasinoRIX and visit a casino, your relationship with that operator is governed by the operator’s own terms, privacy policy, bonus rules, and responsible-gambling tools.
Do Affiliate Partnerships Affect Reviews or Rankings?
No. This is the most important commitment on this page, so it is stated without qualification.
A commercial relationship does not guarantee a positive review, a high score, or a fixed ranking position. Commission rates do not affect ratings. An operator cannot pay its way out of a negative review, and cannot pay for a higher position, a better score, or the removal of criticism.
What commercial relationships do affect is which casinos and offers reach the site in the first place. Once a casino is in our system, its rating is determined by our published methodology.
CasinoRIX reviews, compares, and mentions casinos that are not affiliate partners, and we publish criticism, warnings, lower ratings, and negative observations about partner brands when our review process identifies problems. A casino may be marked down or criticised for issues such as:
- unclear licensing or ownership information;
- weak responsible-gambling tools;
- poor payment transparency;
- slow or restrictive withdrawals;
- confusing or predatory bonus terms;
- high wagering requirements;
- missing country-specific information;
- unreliable customer support;
- unresolved player complaints or negative user feedback.
A commercial partnership never removes the requirement for a casino to meet our basic transparency and quality standards.
Independence in Practice
Here’s how we apply independent approach:
- We exclude and downgrade partners. Operators with real commercial value to us are excluded or marked down when they fail our standards.
- No pay-to-list. Every casino in our directory is there because an editor decided it was worth covering. We do not sell directory listings, we do not run paid “Top X” placements or operator-purchased awards, and we do not publish operator-supplied marketing as editorial copy.
- No personal incentives. Our editorial staff and contributors do not accept gifts, comped balances, paid travel, or other personal benefits from the operators they cover.
Our full editorial standards, including authorship, sourcing, fact-checking, and corrections, are published on our Editorial Guidelines page.
Featured Offers and Partner Placements
Some pages on CasinoRIX include featured offers, bonus cards, comparison tables, recommended lists, or other commercial placements. A featured offer may have a commercial relationship behind it. A featured placement does not mean the offer is automatically the best option for every player.
Bonus value, eligibility, payment availability, country restrictions, wagering requirements, maximum-bet rules, and withdrawal conditions vary by operator and by the reader’s location. Casino promotions also change quickly. Always confirm the latest bonus terms directly on the operator’s website before claiming an offer.
Are All Casinos on CasinoRIX Affiliate Partners?
No. Not every casino, brand, payment method, provider, or offer mentioned on CasinoRIX is necessarily connected to an affiliate partnership.
Some brands are included because they are relevant to a specific market, review topic, payment guide, bonus category, comparison page, or user search intent, regardless of any commercial relationship.
CasinoRIX also covers casinos that are unavailable, closed, restricted, not recommended, or no longer accepting new players when this information is useful for readers.
Can Casino Partners Change Our Content?
No. Casino partners may provide factual information about their products, such as bonus details, payment methods, licensing data, or support contacts, and we may use it after verification. But partner input does not replace CasinoRIX’s own editorial review, and partners do not approve, edit, or sign off on our reviews, ratings, or rankings.
CasinoRIX updates content when reliable information shows that details have changed, including changes to bonus terms, payment limits, supported countries, licensing or ownership, withdrawal rules, or responsible-gambling tools.
Market Availability and Local Rules
CasinoRIX serves several regional markets, and gambling rules differ by country and region. Casino availability, bonus availability, payment access, and operator website access depend on the reader’s location, local law, and the operator’s own terms.
CasinoRIX provides information and comparisons only. We do not operate gambling services, accept wagers, process payments, issue bonuses, or decide whether an operator legally serves readers in a specific country or region.
We identify commercial content clearly and make affiliate relationships easy to recognise. Local rules also affect how casino offers, bonus information, and operator links appear in different markets.
Canada
Commercial relationships and material connections, including affiliate commissions, fall under Canadian deceptive marketing and consumer-protection expectations when they affect how readers understand a review, recommendation, or link.
CasinoRIX discloses affiliate relationships on this page and uses short labels near commercial links. Affiliate relationships do not determine our ratings, review conclusions, or editorial criticism.
Gambling rules in Canada differ by province and territory. A casino, bonus, or payment method referenced on CasinoRIX is not automatically available across all of Canada. Readers in Canada must check provincial or territorial rules and the operator’s own terms before using any casino website or offer.
Ontario
Ontario has a regulated iGaming framework overseen by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) and iGaming Ontario. AGCO Registrar’s Standards restrict public advertising and marketing materials that communicate gambling inducements, bonuses, and credits, except in permitted contexts such as the operator’s own gaming site or direct communications to users who have consented.
For Ontario-facing content, CasinoRIX treats bonus and promotional information with extra care. Ontario pages use more limited wording around bonuses, credits, free spins, and promotional claims, and direct readers to the operator’s official website for current availability, eligibility, and terms.
A casino or offer mentioned on CasinoRIX is not automatically available, licensed, or suitable for Ontario users. Ontario readers must check AGCO / iGaming Ontario status, operator terms, and local availability before acting on any information on this site.
New Zealand
The Gambling Act 2003 prohibits remote interactive gambling, subject to limited statutory exceptions. Section 16 of the Act also prohibits publishing or arranging to publish overseas gambling advertisements in New Zealand. An overseas gambling advertisement includes communications that promote gambling or a gambling operator outside New Zealand, or communications reasonably likely to encourage people to gamble outside New Zealand.
CasinoRIX provides informational content only and does not operate gambling services in New Zealand. References to overseas operators, where they appear, are not confirmation that an operator is authorised, advertised, or promoted under New Zealand law.
Readers in New Zealand must check local rules and the operator’s official terms before acting on any casino, bonus, or payment information on this site.
Poland
Online gambling in Poland is subject to strict national regulation, including the state monopoly framework for online casino games operated by Totalizator Sportowy and the public register of domains used to offer, advertise, or promote gambling contrary to Polish law: Rejestr Domen Służących do Oferowania Gier Hazardowych Niezgodnie z Ustawą.
Some operators, offers, or websites referenced on CasinoRIX are not legally available to players in Poland. Offshore licences do not automatically make an operator legal for Polish users.
CasinoRIX does not present offshore casino operators as legal alternatives in Poland unless their local availability is confirmed under Polish rules. Readers in Poland must check what is lawfully available to them locally before acting on any casino, bonus, or payment information on this site.
Hungary
Hungary has a regulated gambling framework supervised by the Supervisory Authority for Regulatory Affairs (SZTFH / SARA). The regulator maintains information on licensed gambling operators and monitors illegal online gambling.
SZTFH / SARA can order the blocking of unlicensed gambling websites, websites that publish illegal gambling offers or advertising, and websites acting as intermediaries for unlicensed gambling services.
Some operators, offers, payment methods, or websites referenced on CasinoRIX are not lawfully available to users in Hungary. CasinoRIX does not guarantee that any operator or offer mentioned on the site is licensed, authorised, or accessible in Hungary.
Readers in Hungary must check regulator information, local rules, and the operator’s official terms before acting on casino-related information.
Slovenia
Slovenia operates a concession-based gambling framework. The Government of the Republic of Slovenia grants concessions for special games of chance, including concessions for casinos and gaming halls, and gambling activity is supervised by the competent national authorities.
A casino, operator, payment method, or offer mentioned on CasinoRIX is not automatically authorised or available for users in Slovenia. Offshore availability does not equal local authorisation.
CasinoRIX provides informational content only. Readers in Slovenia must check local concession and authorisation rules, as well as the operator’s official terms, before acting on any casino-related information.
Portugal
Online gambling and betting in Portugal are regulated by the Serviço de Regulação e Inspeção de Jogos (SRIJ), under Turismo de Portugal. In Portugal, only entities licensed by SRIJ are authorised to offer online games and betting.
A casino, bonus, operator, or payment method referenced on CasinoRIX is not automatically licensed, authorised, or lawful for Portuguese users. Offshore availability does not equal Portuguese authorisation.
Readers in Portugal must check the operator’s Portuguese licence status, official terms, and local availability before acting on any casino or bonus information on this site.
EU Markets Generally
CasinoRIX publishes content for several European markets. EU consumer-protection rules, national gambling laws, advertising requirements, licensing frameworks, and responsible gambling obligations differ from country to country.
Where local rules are specific, CasinoRIX adapts wording, disclosures, bonus information, availability notes, and responsible gambling references to the relevant market.
Accuracy of Casino and Bonus Information
Online casino information changes frequently. Operators may update terms, bonuses, payment methods, country availability, verification rules, licence details, withdrawal limits, or account conditions without notifying CasinoRIX.
CasinoRIX works to keep information accurate and up to date, but we cannot guarantee that every bonus, limit, payment option, or operator detail remains unchanged after publication. The operator’s official website, terms and conditions, bonus rules, and cashier pages should always be treated as the final source before making any gambling-related decision.
We Do Not Guarantee Gambling Outcomes
CasinoRIX is an informational and comparison website. We do not operate online casinos, process payments, approve accounts, issue bonuses, or control withdrawals.
CasinoRIX does not guarantee:
- winnings;
- successful withdrawals;
- bonus approval;
- account verification;
- uninterrupted access to a casino;
- availability of a specific payment method;
- eligibility for a promotion;
- any specific gambling outcome.
Gambling involves financial risk. Casino content should never be treated as financial advice, income advice, or a way to solve money problems.
Responsible Gambling
CasinoRIX content is intended only for adults who are legally allowed to gamble in their location (18+, or the higher minimum age that applies in your jurisdiction).
Gambling should be treated as entertainment, not as a source of income. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, and do not chase losses. If gambling stops feeling controlled or starts causing stress, financial pressure, or personal problems, consider taking a break and using available deposit-limit, time-out, or self-exclusion tools.
