Affiliate Disclosure

TsarWars.net operates as an independent online casino review and comparison platform. To keep the site free for readers, we participate in affiliate marketing programs with licensed casino operators. When you click a link on our site and sign up or make a deposit at a partner casino, we may earn a referral commission from that operator.

How Commissions Work

Affiliate commissions are paid by casino operators, not by you. You pay exactly the same price whether you reach a casino through our site or navigate there directly. Commissions are typically calculated as a percentage of net gaming revenue or as a fixed cost-per-acquisition fee - the exact structure varies by partnership agreement.

This revenue model is common across comparison and review sites in the iGaming industry. It allows us to fund editorial research, technical audits, and ongoing content updates without charging readers a subscription fee.

Editorial Independence

Affiliate relationships do not influence how we score or rank casinos. Our ratings are determined by a standardised evaluation framework applied equally to every operator we review. A casino with no affiliate relationship can receive a higher rating than one that pays us commissions - and frequently does.

Casinos that score poorly on safety, licensing, payout speed, or customer support are not promoted, regardless of potential commission income. Our editorial team and our commercial partnerships operate independently of each other.

How We Select Partners

We apply the following criteria before accepting any affiliate partnership:

The operator must hold a valid licence from a recognised regulatory authority (for example, the Malta Gaming Authority, UK Gambling Commission, or Curacao eGaming).
The casino must have a documented track record of paying withdrawals on time and resolving player complaints fairly.
Bonus terms must be transparent, with wagering requirements clearly disclosed to players.
The operator must have no unresolved formal sanctions or significant player dispute patterns on record.
The casino must support responsible gambling tools including deposit limits, self-exclusion, and links to support organisations.

Operators that do not meet these criteria are declined, even when offered above-market commission rates.

FTC Compliance

In accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), we disclose our affiliate relationships clearly on this page and in relevant content across the site. Where a review or listing includes a paid or commission-eligible link, you will see a disclosure notice near that content.

If you have questions about our affiliate relationships or want to know whether a specific casino listed on TsarWars.net is a commercial partner, contact us at contact@tsar-wars.net. We are committed to transparency and will respond to all reasonable enquiries.
