Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: January 31, 2026
In short: We earn commission when you sign up at casinos through our links. This never affects our ratings or recommendations. Bad casinos get bad scores regardless of what they pay us.
How We Make Money
RoyalCasinoList is funded through affiliate partnerships with online casinos. When you click a link on our site and register at a casino, we may receive a commission. This is the standard business model for casino review sites.
The types of compensation we may receive include:
- Cost Per Acquisition (CPA): A one-time payment when you register and make a qualifying deposit
- Revenue Share: A percentage of the casino's net revenue from your play over time
- Hybrid Deals: A combination of CPA and revenue share
Our Editorial Independence
Here's what makes us different from many review sites:
✓ What We Do
- Test every casino with real money
- Publish negative reviews when warranted
- Update reviews when casinos change
- Disclose all affiliate relationships
✗ What We Don't Do
- Accept payment for positive reviews
- Let affiliate deals influence ratings
- Recommend unlicensed casinos
- Hide our business relationships
Our ratings are based solely on our testing methodology, which includes real deposits, timed withdrawals, KYC processes, and customer support evaluation. A casino paying us higher commissions does not get a higher score.
Identifying Affiliate Links
On our site, affiliate links are typically found in:
- Casino review pages (the "Visit Casino" or "Claim Bonus" buttons)
- Comparison tables and casino listings
- Bonus offer boxes
- Any "external" link that takes you to a casino website
We do not use deceptive practices to hide affiliate links. When you click a button that says "Visit Casino" or "Claim Bonus," you're using an affiliate link.
Your Choice Matters
Using our affiliate links costs you nothing extra. Casinos don't charge players more for coming through affiliate sites. In fact, our negotiated bonus codes often provide better offers than going directly to the casino.
You're never obligated to use our links. If you prefer, you can:
- Visit casino websites directly by typing their URL
- Search for casinos on Google
- Use our reviews for information without clicking affiliate links
