Casino Guide is free to read because operators pay us when readers sign up through our links. US consumer-protection rules expect a site like ours to say so clearly, and we would say it anyway: you should know who pays for a page before you act on it. This page explains the arrangement. It sits alongside our terms of use, disclaimer and privacy policy.

How the site earns money
Easterlume Media Group FZ-LLC, the publisher of casino-guide.biz, has affiliate agreements with some of the operators described on the site, directly or through affiliate networks. When you click one of those links and open an account or make a first deposit, the operator may pay a commission: a fixed fee, a share of the revenue it earns from the account, or a mix of both. These commissions are the site’s only income. We do not sell banner space, we do not charge operators for reviews and we do not take payments from readers.
What it costs you
Nothing. The commission comes out of the operator’s marketing budget. The welcome offer, wagering and deposit terms you get through our link are the ones the operator publishes for everyone; where a bonus code exists, we print it in the facts table so that you can use it with or without our link.
Where the affiliate links are
Affiliate links are the buttons and operator names in our lists and tables and the “visit” buttons on operator pages. They usually pass through an address on our own domain that starts with /go/, which forwards you to the operator and records that the visit came from us. Links to regulators, helplines, payment providers, news articles and photo sources are ordinary links, and nobody pays us for them.
Partners in our lists
Not every operator on Casino Guide is a partner, and being a partner does not get a site listed. A site appears only when its licence can be found in the regulator’s register and its offer and terms are published; the same eight facts are shown for every site. Where commercial terms influence which of several qualifying operators is shown first or highlighted, we say so on the list. An operator cannot pay to be added, to move up, or to have an unfavourable fact taken off its page. The rules are on How the list is made.
Editorial independence
Operators do not see our pages before they go live and have no say over what we write. If a partner changes its terms for the worse, the page changes with it. If an operator stops paying, stops publishing its terms or loses its licence, it comes off the list whatever commission it pays.
Cookies on our pages and operator links
Two cookies are set by our domain on every page you open, whether or not you click anything: mz_vid, a random visitor ID kept for up to one year, and mz_src, the source of your visit, kept for 30 days. When you follow a /go/ link, two technical cookies are added, mozbiz_session and XSRF-TOKEN, which expire after 20 hours. Together they let a visit that ends at an operator be credited to us. The operator may set its own cookies once you arrive on its site. Details are in our privacy policy.
Your part
Read the operator’s terms before you accept any offer, check that online gambling is lawful in your state and that you are 21 or older, and decide on a budget before you deposit. If gambling stops being fun, contact the National Problem Gambling Helpline: call or text 1-800-MY-RESET (1-800-697-3738) or chat at 1800myreset.org, free and confidential, 24 hours a day in all 50 states.
