Affiliate Disclosure

How We Earn Money

SpinPatrol earns revenue through affiliate marketing partnerships with online casinos. When a user clicks one of our tracked links and creates a verified, depositing account at a casino, we receive a commission from that casino. This is standard practice in the online casino review industry and is how most independent review sites operate.

The commission structure varies by casino and is typically based on one of three models: CPA (cost per acquisition — a fixed payment per qualifying player), Revenue Share (a percentage of the player's net gaming revenue over time), or a hybrid of both.

How This Affects Our Rankings

The short answer: our rankings are not for sale. The longer explanation:

• Casino rankings on SpinPatrol are determined by our editorial scoring methodology, not by affiliate commercial arrangements.
• We do not accept payment from casinos to appear in our top 10 or to receive a specific ranking position.
• Casinos pay us different commission rates. Our ranking algorithm does not use commission rate as an input variable.
• If a casino we work with receives complaints about non-payment or significant service deterioration, we reduce their score and ranking regardless of the commercial relationship.
• We have declined to include casinos in our ranking that offer high commissions but have poor player reputations.

Editorial Independence

All review content on SpinPatrol is produced by our editorial team. Casino partners do not have the right to review or approve content before publication, request removal of negative findings, or influence the editorial score we assign to their casino.

When a casino contacts us to contest a review finding, we take it seriously — if they provide documentation that our testing produced an anomalous result, we will retest. We do not, however, change scores based on commercial pressure alone.

What This Means for You

When you click a link on SpinPatrol and create an account, the casino knows you came from our site. This doesn't affect the terms you receive as a player — you get the same welcome offer, game access, and support as any other player. It does mean we earn a commission if you become an active player.

We believe this model allows us to publish genuinely useful casino reviews at no direct cost to readers, while maintaining commercial relationships that fund the site's operation. We're committed to being transparent about the model so you can weigh our recommendations accordingly.
