Partner payments
Who pays Gambling Sites .pro, how paid links and sold slots are marked, and what that money can and cannot touch.

Two sentences first
Gambling Sites .pro is a free site. Gambling operators fund it, chiefly with referral fees owed each time somebody we sent registers and funds an account, and partly by buying placements. Readers never pay us anything.
This page names the kinds of payment, shows how each one is marked on the page, and is candid about where money could pull against your interests.
Which links are commercial
| What you see | Is it paid? | How to tell |
|---|---|---|
| “Visit” buttons and operator names in lists | Usually, yes | The link goes through /go/ and carries rel="sponsored" |
| “Sportsbook of the month” and similar boxes | Yes, the slot is sold | Labelled “paid placement” on the box |
| Links inside articles to regulators, laws, helplines | No | Plain links to the source site |
| Review text, pros and cons | Not sold | Written from our own checks |
Hover over a button before you click: when the address under it starts with /go/, treat it as commercial even if no label sits nearby. That redirect is how an operator knows a sign-up came from us.
How operators pay
Three arrangements are common. A flat fee (often called CPA) is paid once for each new depositing customer. A revenue share hands over a cut of the operator's net takings from that player, month after month, which is, put plainly, a share of the money players lose. A hybrid mixes a smaller flat fee with a smaller share. Brands that buy a placement pay for the slot itself for a set period, regardless of sign-ups.
Rates vary from brand to brand and are settled in private, either directly with the casino or sportsbook or through the network that manages its partners. Individual rates stay confidential.
Three labels
Three words do the work on our pages. Sponsored sits beside a link or button that can earn a fee. Paid placement marks a box, banner or highlighted slot that a brand rented for a period. Editorial marks text written without any payment attached to it, such as state guides, explainers and help pages. When a page mixes the three, each block carries its own label rather than one note at the bottom.
If you find a commercial link or box with no label, tell us; it is a fault, and we fix it.
What partners do not get
A partner cannot preview a review, ask for a weakness to be removed, or change the welcome terms we quote. It cannot see who our readers are. When a recheck shows a partner has tightened its rollover or slowed payouts, the new figure goes on the page even if that hurts sign-ups through our links. Ending a deal removes the commercial link; it does not erase the review.
Where the money pulls
A revenue share means we earn more when readers who signed up through us lose more. We are not going to pretend that this incentive is absent. It is the reason the site publishes its scoring fields, quotes rollover and maximum-bet rules in full, and keeps every review's list of weaknesses.
Payment can decide whether a brand appears in a paid slot, and whether a list entry carries a link at all. It does not buy a review text, and paying more does not change the facts we record about an offer.
Offshore partners
Several commercial partners are based overseas and carry no licence from any US state. Earning a fee from them does not make them safer. Read the licensing section of our disclaimer before you deposit with any of them.
What a referral link stores
Any page drops two first-party cookies. mz_vid, an anonymous tag, lives for twelve months; mz_src, recording which source sent you, lives for a month. A /go/ redirect writes two more, mozbiz_session and XSRF-TOKEN, good for about twenty hours, so that the click can be tallied. Google Analytics 4 also runs on every page. Once you reach the operator, its own cookies and its tracking partner's cookies apply. The privacy policy has the details.
One click, start to finish
You read a casino review and press “Visit”. The browser passes through our /go/ address, which records the click and passes you along to the brand, a partner tag attached. You register and deposit. Weeks later the operator's report credits the publisher with a fee for that account, or with a slice of its revenue each month. Your welcome offer matches what any other newcomer entering that code gets.
What it costs you
Nothing extra. Using our links does not raise prices, change odds or shrink bonuses. If you prefer that we earn nothing from your sign-up, type the operator's address into the browser yourself. The price, odds and bonus will not differ.
