Affiliate Disclosure
We will keep this straight with you, because that is the whole point of the page. LegalOnlineBlackjack.com makes money through affiliate relationships with some of the online blackjack sites we review. When you click through to certain operators from our site and sign up, we may earn a commission. That is how we keep the lights on and keep doing the hands-on testing we do.
The bottom line: Being an affiliate does not buy a better ranking. Our rankings are based entirely on how sites perform in our testing, and most of our affiliate partners are not in our top spots. If a non-affiliate site is better, it ranks higher. Period.
Affiliate Relationship at a Glance
- Do we earn commissions?: Yes, from about half our listed sites
- Does it affect rankings?: No – rankings are earned on testing
- Does it cost you extra?: Never – same offers as going direct
- Are non-affiliates reviewed too?: Yes, and some rank higher
The Details
How It Works
We are affiliates for about half of the casinos listed on our site. The other half, we have no financial relationship with at all. We still review them, still recommend them when they earn it, and still rank them wherever their performance puts them.
The most important thing to understand is this: being an affiliate does not buy a better ranking. Our rankings are based entirely on how sites perform in our review process, real accounts, real deposits, real withdrawals and everything else we test. In fact, most of our affiliate partners are not in our top spots. If a non-affiliate site is better, it ranks higher. Period. We are not going to bump a worse site up the list just because it pays us, because the moment we do that, our recommendations become worthless, and so do we.
Why We Are Comfortable Telling You This
A lot of review sites bury their affiliate relationships or pretend they do not exist. We think that is backwards. Affiliate commissions are a completely normal way for a site like ours to operate, and there is nothing wrong with it as long as it does not corrupt the reviews. Ours do not. We rank sites based on where we would actually want to play and cash out, and we let the money fall where it falls.
What This Means For You
Clicking our links never costs you anything extra. You get the same sign-up offers, the same bonuses and the same terms you would get going to the site directly. The only difference is that we earn a small commission for the referral, which funds the ongoing testing that keeps this whole operation honest and up to date.
If you ever want to see how a specific site earned its ranking, our Review Process lays out every step, and our About Us page tells you exactly who is behind the reviews. And whether or not you ever click one of our links, please take a look at our Responsible Gambling resources. Keeping the game fun is the only thing more important to us than keeping it honest.
