Advertiser Disclosure
We believe in complete transparency about how we fund our operations. This page explains our affiliate relationships and how we maintain editorial independence.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special URLs that contain a tracking code. When you click one of these links and sign up at a gambling site, we receive a commission from that site. This is a standard practice in the online publishing industry and is how many websites—including comparison sites, review platforms, and news outlets—generate revenue.
Important: You are never charged extra for using our links. The commission comes from the gambling site's marketing budget, not from your deposits or winnings.
What This Means for You
How We Make Money
We earn commissions when you sign up at gambling sites through our links. This is how we fund our operations and keep our content free for readers.
No Extra Cost to You
Using our affiliate links never costs you extra money. In many cases, we negotiate exclusive bonuses that give you better value than signing up directly.
Editorial Independence
Affiliate relationships never influence our ratings, reviews, or recommendations. Our editorial team operates independently from our business team.
How Affiliate Relationships Work
When we feature a gambling site on CS2Gambling.com, we may have an affiliate partnership with them. Here's how the process works:
- You read our review and decide to try a site
- You click our link, which contains a tracking code
- You create an account and make a deposit
- The gambling site pays us a commission for the referral
- You receive any bonuses we've negotiated (often exclusive)
Not all sites we review have affiliate relationships with us. We also feature sites where we have no financial incentive, simply because they meet our quality standards and serve our readers.
Our Commitment to Independence
We understand that affiliate relationships can create potential conflicts of interest. That's why we've established strict policies to ensure our content remains trustworthy:
- We never accept payment to improve a site's rating
- Sites cannot pay to be included in our "Top Picks" lists
- We publish negative reviews when warranted, even for partners
- All sponsored content is clearly labeled
- Our rating methodology is the same for partners and non-partners
- Reader trust is more valuable than any commission
