FairLedger is independent, reader-supported and funded primarily through affiliate commissions. This page sets out exactly how those commissions work, so you can judge our recommendations on full information.
1. What "affiliate link" means
An affiliate link is an outbound link to an operator that contains a referral identifier. When you click it, sign up and play, the operator pays FairLedger a percentage of the gross gaming revenue your account generates - typically 25% to 50%, depending on the operator.
2. How it affects (or does not affect) coverage
- The Independent Score on every review is computed by an open-source algorithm. Affiliate commission is not a variable.
- Editorial decides which casinos to cover. Commercial then negotiates the affiliate rate. The order is never reversed.
- We have removed casinos from the directory after editorial issues even when the affiliate rate was attractive.
3. Our wager-share program
We pay between 50% and 100% of every dollar of affiliate commission back to the user who generated it, as wager-share rewards. This is paid each Sunday at 23:59 UTC in BTC, USDT or USDC. See the leaderboard page for terms.
4. What we never accept
- Payment for a positive review.
- Payment for top-ranking placement.
- Equity, tokens or other ownership stakes in covered operators.
- NDA-protected briefings that condition coverage on confidentiality.
5. Disclosure markers
Every affiliate link on the site has the
rel="sponsored nofollow" attribute, in compliance with the
UK ASA, US FTC and Google Webmaster guidelines.
6. Not financial or gambling advice
Nothing on FairLedger is financial, legal or gambling advice. Gambling involves risk of loss. Bonus values and odds change. Always read the operator's terms before depositing.
