Affiliate Disclosure

We accept affiliate commissions on some links. Here is exactly how that works, what limits it imposes on our editorial process, and what it does not influence.

The short version

What you need to know in 30 seconds
  • Some links to casinos on this site are affiliate links. If you sign up and play, we may earn a commission.
  • The commission is paid by the casino, not by you. It does not change your bonus, deposit terms, or anything else.
  • Our rankings and review scores are based on testing, not on commission rates. Operators cannot pay for higher placement.
  • If you don't want to use an affiliate link, you can always type the casino's name into Google and reach the same site directly.

What is an affiliate link?

An affiliate link is a tracked URL that tells the destination casino which website referred you. When you click a link on FreeCredit Casinos that goes to a casino we have a commercial agreement with — like clicking the "Claim Bonus →" button on one of our review pages — the link carries an identifier specific to us.

If you then sign up and play, the casino's affiliate system credits the conversion to our account and we receive a commission. The size of that commission varies by operator and program structure (some pay a one-off referral fee, others pay a revenue share on net losses over the player's lifetime).

What we earn, and how

Our affiliate programs typically pay one of two structures:

  • CPA (Cost Per Acquisition): A one-time payment ranging from RM50 to RM500 per qualifying referred player. A "qualifying" player is usually defined as one who deposits a minimum amount (commonly RM30–RM100) and plays a minimum number of bets.
  • Revenue share: A percentage (typically 25–40%) of the casino's net revenue from referred players for the duration of their account activity. Net revenue means deposits minus withdrawals minus bonuses paid out.

We do not earn from your losses directly. If you win, we still receive nothing on a CPA program; on a revenue-share program, your wins reduce the operator's net revenue and therefore reduce our commission.

What this does NOT change

Editorial independence is absolute

No operator can pay us to publish a positive review. No operator can pay us to raise their ranking. No operator gets advance access to review content or veto power over what we publish. We have rejected sponsorship offers that came with editorial conditions, and we will continue to do so.

Specific guardrails we operate under:

  • Rankings reflect test scores only. Read our testing methodology for the full scoring framework. Commission rates are not an input.
  • Critical findings are published regardless of affiliate status. Several of our most-read articles document slow withdrawals, broken bonus terms, or license problems at brands we have affiliate relationships with.
  • Standardised commission rates. Our internal policy is to negotiate commission rates within a narrow standard band. We do not accept significantly above-market rates that could be interpreted as editorial bribery.
  • Editorial and commercial are separated. The reviewer who tests a brand is not the person who negotiates the affiliate contract. Editorial decisions are made before commercial conversations begin.
  • You can always opt out. If you would rather not use an affiliate link, just type the casino's name into Google and visit their site directly. Your bonus and play experience will be identical.

How to identify affiliate links

Affiliate links on this site are tagged with HTML attributes that make them machine-readable and compliant with Google's guidelines for sponsored content:

  • The link includes rel="nofollow sponsored" in its source code
  • The link opens in a new browser tab (target="_blank")
  • The link URL typically routes through a tracker domain or includes affiliate parameters like ?aff=, ?ref=, or ?a=

Common buttons that are affiliate links: "Claim Bonus →", "Visit [Brand] →", "Sign Up →", brand cards on our rankings page, and the sidebar widgets on our blog articles.

Links that are not affiliate links: internal navigation, links to other articles on our site, links to external authorities (regulators, news sites), and links to operators we don't have a commercial agreement with.

What we will NOT do

Bright lines we don't cross
  • We do not accept payment to remove negative reviews. If a brand is acting badly, we publish about it.
  • We do not run "sponsored posts" disguised as editorial. Any sponsored content would be labelled at the top of the page.
  • We do not write reviews of operators we have not personally tested with real money. No content-mill reviews.
  • We do not accept commissions from operators targeting prohibited jurisdictions (sites that don't have a license valid for serving Malaysian players).
  • We do not link to operators with active regulatory sanctions or unresolved player-fund issues.
  • We do not use deceptive redirect chains. Our affiliate URLs route directly to the operator's domain.

FAQ

Does using your link cost me anything extra?
No. The commission is paid by the casino out of their marketing budget, not by you. Your bonus, deposit minimums, wagering requirements, and withdrawal terms are exactly the same whether you use our link or sign up directly.
Could you be biased toward casinos that pay you more?
It's a fair question, and one we take seriously. Our internal policy negotiates commission rates within a narrow standard band, so no single operator has financial leverage over us. Our editorial team is also separated from affiliate negotiations — reviewers test brands before commercial relationships are discussed. That said, we acknowledge we have a structural conflict of interest. The honest mitigation is full transparency about how we work (this page) and consistent published evidence that we criticise operators we earn from when they earn the criticism.
What happens if I have a problem with a casino I found via your link?
First, contact the casino's support team — that's the fastest path to resolution. If you don't get a satisfactory response, email us at editorial@freecreditcasinos.net with details. We use player complaints to update reviews and re-rank operators. We cannot intervene directly in disputes between you and the operator, but we take patterns of complaints seriously and have de-listed brands over them.
Do you disclose this on every page?
Yes. Every blog article has an editorial disclosure block near the footer mentioning that we may earn commissions. Brand review pages carry the same disclosure. This page provides the full detail. We also tag affiliate links with rel="sponsored" in compliance with Google's guidelines.
How can I trust you?
Trust is earned over time, not declared. Read our testing methodology in detail. Browse our blog for examples of critical findings about operators we have affiliate relationships with. Notice that our editorial team is named, has public bios, and has professional backgrounds outside of affiliate marketing. We are not anonymous and we are not hiding. If you still don't trust us — that's reasonable. Use multiple sources, read player forums, do your own due diligence. We just want to be one credible input among several.
How do I opt out of using affiliate links?
Easy: just type the casino's name into Google and click the operator's domain directly. We don't track your behaviour on third-party sites. Your bonus will be the same; we just won't receive a commission.
