Full Transparency
CasinoCoupons may earn commissions when you click on links and sign up at casinos through our site. This helps us keep our service free while maintaining our commitment to honest, unbiased information.
How We Earn Money
CasinoCoupons is a free service, and we want to explain how we fund our operations:
Affiliate Partnerships
We participate in affiliate programs with various online casinos. When you click on a link on our website and subsequently register or deposit at a casino, we may receive a commission from that casino.
These commissions help us:
- Keep our service completely free for all users
- Maintain and update our bonus database regularly
- Develop new features and tools
- Produce educational content
- Cover hosting and operational costs
Important: You never pay extra for using our links. Any commission we receive comes from the casino's marketing budget, not from your pocket.
Our Commitment to You
Despite our affiliate relationships, we maintain strict editorial standards:
Honest Information
We display accurate bonus terms, including wagering requirements and restrictions, regardless of our affiliate relationship with a casino.
No Pay-for-Ranking
Casinos cannot pay to appear higher in our listings. Our display order is based on objective factors like bonus value and terms.
Complete Coverage
We list bonuses from casinos we work with and those we don't. Our goal is comprehensive coverage, not just partner promotion.
Negative Reviews Welcome
If a casino has poor terms or practices, we'll display that information even if they're an affiliate partner.
What This Means for You
When using CasinoCoupons, please understand:
- Links may be affiliate links: Most links to casinos on our site are affiliate links that track referrals.
- Same bonuses available: You receive the same bonus whether you use our link or go directly to the casino.
- No obligation: Clicking a link doesn't obligate you to sign up or deposit.
- Your choice matters: We encourage you to compare options and choose what's best for you, even if that means not using a casino we link to.
Types of Compensation
We may receive the following types of compensation from casinos:
- CPA (Cost Per Acquisition): A one-time payment when a referred user registers and/or makes a deposit.
- Revenue Share: An ongoing percentage of the net revenue generated by referred players.
- Hybrid Deals: A combination of CPA and revenue share.
The specific terms vary by casino and are confidential business agreements.
Editorial Independence
Our editorial content is independent from our business relationships:
- Our team that reviews and lists bonuses operates separately from affiliate management.
- We apply the same evaluation criteria to all casinos.
- We will remove or warn about casinos that don't meet our standards, regardless of affiliate status.
- Educational content is created to inform, not to drive affiliate conversions.
