Affiliate Disclosure

Affiliate Disclosure: We believe in complete transparency about how FreeBetDeal operates and how we earn revenue. This page explains our affiliate relationships in plain English.

Affiliate Disclosure Summary – Key Points

• FreeBetDeal earns commissions when users click our links and register with gambling operators.
• This commission comes at zero extra cost to you.
• Our reviews and rankings reflect genuine editorial judgement, not commission rates.
• We only recommend operators with valid licences from recognised regulatory bodies.
• We comply with ASA, CAP Code, and UKGC affiliate marketing guidelines.
• Affiliate relationships are always clearly identified on our pages.

What Is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate Disclosure: Affiliate marketing is a performance-based marketing model where a website (the affiliate) earns a commission by referring customers to a third-party business. FreeBetDeal operates as an affiliate for online casinos, sportsbooks, poker rooms, and other gambling operators.

When you click a link on FreeBetDeal and subsequently register a new account and/or make a deposit with an operator, we may receive a commission from that operator. This commission is paid by the operator — it does not add any charge to your account or affect the bonus you receive.

⚠️ Important: FreeBetDeal is an advertising and comparison website. We do not operate gambling services, hold gambling licences, or process any player deposits or withdrawals. All gambling is conducted directly on the third-party operator’s platform.

How We Earn Revenue

Affiliate Disclosure: FreeBetDeal generates revenue through three primary affiliate commission structures:

💰 Revenue Share (RevShare)

We receive a percentage of the net gaming revenue generated by players we refer to an operator, on an ongoing monthly basis. Rates typically range from 20% to 45%.

🎯 Cost Per Acquisition (CPA)

We receive a fixed one-time payment for each qualifying new player we refer, typically triggered by a first deposit above a minimum threshold.

🔀 Hybrid Deals

A combination of a reduced CPA payment plus an ongoing revenue share percentage. Common with established operators.

The specific commission arrangement we hold with any given operator is confidential and subject to change. We do not disclose exact rates as these are commercially sensitive.

How Affiliate Relationships Affect Our Content

Affiliate Disclosure: We are committed to editorial independence. Our affiliate relationships do not determine our review scores, rankings, or recommendations. Our editorial team assesses every operator against a standardised set of criteria including:

• Licensing and regulatory compliance
• Bonus terms and conditions (wagering requirements, time limits, game contributions)
• Game selection and software providers
• Payment methods, speeds, and withdrawal limits
• Customer support quality and availability
• Mobile performance
• User reviews and complaints history
• Responsible gambling tools and policies

Operators that score poorly in our assessment will receive lower ratings regardless of any commercial relationship. We also list operators we do not have affiliate agreements with if they represent genuine value for our users.

However, we acknowledge that operators we have affiliate agreements with may appear more prominently on category and comparison pages as a result of commercial considerations. Where this is the case, it will be disclosed.

Identifying Affiliate Links

By default, all external links to gambling operators on FreeBetDeal should be treated as affiliate links. We label affiliate content with notices such as:

• “This page contains affiliate links”
• “We may earn a commission if you click this link”
• “Advertising disclosure”
• “Sponsored listing”

In accordance with ASA and CAP Code guidelines, we ensure that paid-for or commercially influenced placements are clearly labelled as such.

Regulatory Compliance

FreeBetDeal operates in compliance with applicable advertising standards and gambling marketing regulations. This includes:

• ASA / CAP Code — We comply with the UK Advertising Standards Authority’s rules on gambling advertising, including the prohibition on targeting under-18s.
• UKGC Licence Conditions — We only promote operators holding valid UKGC, MGA, or equivalently recognised licences.
• FTC Guidelines — For any US-facing content, we comply with Federal Trade Commission disclosure requirements.
• GDPR / UK GDPR — We handle user data in accordance with UK data protection law. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
