Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: August 9, 2026

Short version: Gambling101 is free to read because we earn a commission when you sign up at some of the casinos we link to. It costs you nothing extra, and it does not change what we write.

How this works

Some links on this Site β€” mainly in our casino comparison tables and in-content recommendations β€” are affiliate links. If you click one and create an account (and in some cases deposit or wager) at that casino, we may receive a referral commission from the operator. This is standard practice across the gambling-affiliate industry and is how most independent gambling education sites, including this one, are funded.

Affiliate links on this Site are marked with rel="nofollow sponsored" in the underlying HTML (a technical signal to search engines that the link is a paid/sponsored relationship) and are typically labeled "affiliate link" or accompanied by a note pointing back to this page.

What this does not change

  • You never pay more by using our links β€” commissions come from the operator's marketing budget, not from you.
  • Our educational content (odds, house edge, bankroll math, strategy) is written the same way regardless of whether a page contains affiliate links.
  • We do not accept payment to inflate a casino's ranking, hide known issues, or recommend a site we wouldn't otherwise recommend.

How we choose which casinos to list

We look at licensing and regulation, real-money game fairness, payout speed, banking options, the clarity of bonus terms, and the availability of responsible-gambling tools (deposit limits, self-exclusion, session reminders). We only list operators that pass these checks. That said, our review process is not a substitute for your own due diligence β€” always confirm a casino is licensed to accept players from your specific location before depositing.
