Affiliate Disclosure
Transparency is everything. Here is how we monetize our platform and how this affects the casino lists you see on this site.
At Bonus Grinders, we believe you have a right to know how the websites you use make money. In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines and standard advertising rules, this disclosure explains our commercial partnerships.
What is an Affiliate Link?
When you click on a button like "Grind Bonus" or a link redirecting you to an online casino from our site, that link is an affiliate link. This means if you create an account and play at that casino, we may receive a referral commission. This commission does not cost you anything extra.
Why We Use This Model
Running a high-quality review site requires resources. We pay for hosting, security audits, technical development, and, most importantly, we fund our review team to physically deposit and test casinos. The revenue generated from affiliate links allows us to keep this service completely free to use without placing annoying banner ads on our site.
Does This Affect Our Ratings?
No. Our editorial independence is our most valuable asset. If we recommend bad casinos just because they pay a high commission, players will lose trust in us, and Google will drop our rankings. Here is how we prevent commercial bias:
- Strict Review Guidelines: Our testing team uses a fixed mathematical formula based on licensing, support, payout speed, and wager terms. You can review this system on our How We Rate page.
- No Pay-to-Play: Casinos cannot pay us to delete negative reviews, ignore predatory terms, or artificially inflate their rating scores.
- Active Delisting: If we verify that a partner casino is refusing payouts to players or changing their bonus terms without warning, we immediately mark them with warning flags or delist them from our directory, regardless of our commercial agreements.
Your Responsibility as a Player
While we do our best to ensure all data is accurate at the time of publication, online casinos change their promotional terms and conditions frequently. We strongly advise all players to double-check the terms (specifically wagering requirements and regional availability) on the casino's official site before depositing money.
