How We Review Crypto Casino Affiliate Programmes
The criteria, evidence and update cycle behind our crypto casino affiliate programme reviews: commission terms, payouts, licences and regulator history.
Each programme review on Bitcoin Casino Affiliates is built from documents you can check yourself: the programme’s published terms, its commission pages, and the licence records of the casinos it promotes. This page explains what we look at, where the evidence comes from and how often a review is rechecked.
What we assess
| Area | What we look for | Main evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Commission model | RevShare tiers, CPA amounts, hybrid deals, and whether rates are published or negotiated | Programme commission page and affiliate terms |
| Deductions | Admin or platform fees, bonus and payment-fee deductions, negative carryover rules | Affiliate terms and conditions |
| Payouts | Minimum payout, payout frequency, coins and fiat methods offered | Programme FAQ or payment section |
| Brands and licences | Which casinos the programme promotes, the operating company and the licence each brand displays | Casino footer and terms, regulator register or seal |
| Restrictions | Banned traffic sources, brand-bidding rules, restricted countries, clawback and “fraud” clauses | Affiliate terms and conditions |
| Regulatory history | Enforcement decisions against the brands or their operators | Published regulator decisions |
Where the evidence comes from
Primary sources come first. A commission rate is only stated when the programme publishes it; if the programme keeps rates private, the review says “negotiated / not published” instead of guessing. Licences are checked against the regulator’s own records where one exists, such as the Malta Gaming Authority’s licensee register or the Kahnawake Gaming Commission’s list of permit holders. For Curaçao licences we use the Curaçao Gaming Authority’s site at cga.cw. Some regulators, including Anjouan and Tobique, are checked through the validation seal on the casino’s own site, because a bare domain search does not return a reliable result.
Trade press is used for context, such as reports of a regulator decision, and is never the only source for a load-bearing fact when the regulator publishes the decision itself.
What we do not do
- We do not invent commission rates, conversion figures or earnings examples presented as real results.
- Worked examples are labelled as examples, with the numbers shown so you can redo the maths.
- No programme can pay for a review to say something its terms do not support.
- Player-facing claims, such as bonus offers, are outside our scope unless they affect how commission is calculated.
Ranking programmes
Lists on the home page and in the programme directory are ordered by how well a programme’s published terms serve a publisher: clear rates, no or limited negative carryover, reasonable minimum payouts, licensed brands and no history of regulator bans in the markets it targets. Some listed programmes may pay us, as our about page explains; that relationship is disclosed and does not override the terms-based order.
Keeping reviews current
Affiliate terms change without notice, and casino licences lapse or move. Each review shows the date it was last updated, and we aim to recheck every review at least twice a year, sooner when a programme announces new terms or a regulator acts against one of its brands. If you see something out of date, our corrections process applies: email [email protected] with a link to the source.
