Sub-Affiliate Program Terms
What we expect from referral partners, and what partners can expect from us.
The short version
Send real people who actually want to read casino reviews, and you earn a share of the revenue their clicks generate. Game the tracking or the traffic, and the partnership ends. Everything below is the fine print on those two sentences.
Who can join
The program is invitation-only. Partners are set up by our team, receive a personal referral code and a login to the partner dashboard, and accept these terms the moment they first use either. If you'd like an invitation, write to editorial [at] realmoneycasinorank.com and tell us where your audience comes from.
How referral tracking works
Your referral link is any page on one of our sites with ?ref=your-code appended. When a visitor lands through it, their browser remembers the code for the rest of the tab session, and a later click through to a casino is credited to you. If the visitor has accepted cookies on our site, the code is kept for up to 30 days so a return visit still counts. The mechanics are described in plain language in our privacy policy; the record we keep is anonymous, so you'll see click counts, never people.
What this means in practice: attribution is last-code-wins, it depends on the visitor's browser keeping the code, and clicks that arrive without your code attached can't be credited retroactively. We don't reconstruct lost attribution by hand.
Revenue share and payment
Each partner has an individually agreed revenue share, visible on your dashboard along with every commission entry we record. Entries show as owed until they're settled, then flip to paid. Commission is based on the revenue casino operators actually confirm to us — if an operator reverses or withholds a payment, the linked commission is adjusted the same way. Payment details (method, currency, minimum threshold, schedule) are agreed individually when you join.
What ends a partnership
Most of this is obvious, but it needs to be written down. We remove partners, withhold unverified commissions, and void fraudulent ones for any of the following:
- Fake or automated traffic — bots, click farms, scripts, forced redirects, hidden iframes, cookie stuffing, or anything else that manufactures landings or clicks that no human chose to make.
- Incentivized traffic — paying, rewarding, or otherwise compensating people for clicking your link. The visit has to be the visitor's own idea.
- Brand bidding — bidding on RealMoneyCasinoRank or our domain names in paid search, or running ads that impersonate us or our pages.
- Self-referrals — tagging your own casino clicks with your own code.
- Misleading promotion — inventing bonuses we don't list, misquoting our ratings, or presenting our reviews as something they're not.
One honest mistake gets a conversation. A pattern gets a removal. Deliberate fraud gets both, minus the conversation.
Audience and compliance
Our content is for adults, and so is your promotion of it. Don't target minors, don't target people who've self-excluded from gambling, and follow the advertising rules that apply wherever your audience lives — they differ by country, and knowing yours is part of the job. If a market we cover is off-limits for gambling promotion in your channel, don't promote us there. Disclose the relationship where your local rules require it; an honest "this is a partner link" costs nothing.
Pausing, changes, and endings
We can pause a referral code while we look into unusual traffic; paused codes stop tagging new visits but nothing already credited is touched. Either side can end the partnership at any time, in writing or by pausing the code permanently. Commissions already verified as owed are still paid out on the normal schedule. We may update these terms — when we do, the date at the top changes, and continuing to use your code after that counts as accepting the new version.
