Affiliate disclosure

Short answer: some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and then open an account or deposit with a casino, Cashout Clarity may be paid a commission by the casino or its affiliate program. It costs you nothing extra. Commission never decides whether a casino is listed, where it appears, or what we say about it.

How we earn money

We join casino affiliate programs. When a reader follows one of our links and signs up or deposits, the program records that the reader came from us and pays a commission.

Depending on the program, a commission can be:

• a fixed amount for each new customer who deposits; or
• a share of what the casino earns from the customers we refer, over time; or
• a mix of both.

Be clear about what the second model means: when commission is a share of the casino's revenue, we earn more when referred customers lose more. That conflict of interest is the reason for the rules below.

How affiliate links are marked

• Affiliate links go through a redirect on our own site, at an address beginning /go/.
• They carry rel="sponsored nofollow", the standard way to tell search engines a link is commercial.
• Buttons that lead to a casino appear only in that casino's row in a comparison table, and only when that casino has an approved affiliate offer. There are no casino buttons in the text of our guides, in the glossary or in the calculator.
• When you click, we log an anonymous click record — no personal data. The privacy policy explains exactly what is recorded.

What commission can't buy

• A listing. A casino appears in a table only if it meets the rule on our methodology page: sourced cashier and withdrawal data, checked within 60 days. An approved offer without sourced data is not enough.
• A position. Tables are not ordered by commission rate, and no casino can pay to move up.
• Wording. We don't let operators or affiliate programs write, edit or approve our copy, and we don't remove accurate information on request.
• A label. We don't call any offshore casino safe, legal or licensed, whatever the commercial terms.

One limit to be aware of: because a listing requires an approved offer, our tables only include casinos we have an affiliate agreement with. They are not a full survey of the market.

Country rules we apply

Australia. GambleAware NSW states that offshore gambling operators are not allowed to offer services to Australians, and that a site offering online casino games or real-money pokies is an illegal service. Every Australian page carries a notice saying so, and every casino row in an Australian table shows the casino's status on ACMA's list of blocked gambling websites. We don't present an offshore casino as a safe or legal choice.

Ontario. The AGCO's Registrar's Standards for Internet Gaming restrict the advertising of inducements, bonuses or credits, except on an operator's own site or in direct marketing sent after the player has actively consented. We don't promote casino bonuses to readers in Ontario.
