Affiliate Disclosure for Phoenix Players

Last reviewed: 13 April 2026

Phoenix Players is a reader-supported publication. To keep our reviews free, we include affiliate links to some of the casinos we cover. This page explains exactly how that works and what it means for the integrity of our editorial.

How Affiliate Links Work

When you click certain outbound links on phoenix-players.com and subsequently open an account or deposit at that casino, the operator pays us a commission. That commission is funded by the casino's marketing budget and does not increase what you pay in any way. Our welcome bonuses, wagering requirements and withdrawal limits are the same whether you arrive via our site or via a Google search directly.

Which Links Are Affiliate Links

Every casino operator listed in our main top-15 table is an affiliate partner. Each operator link carries a rel="nofollow sponsored noopener" attribute and opens in a new tab. When an operator is not an affiliate partner (for example, when we mention regulated US operators like FanDuel Casino, DraftKings Casino, BetMGM or Caesars Palace Online for comparison only), the mention is editorial and carries no affiliate code.

Editorial Independence

Commercial partnerships do not influence:

The position of an operator in our rankings
The rating we assign a site on its review page
Whether we flag a negative term, dispute or licence issue
Whether we remove a site from the rankings for non-payment or player-fund theft

If an affiliate partner later fails our testing methodology, we demote or remove it regardless of commission. See the concrete grounds for removal on our editorial policy page.

Ranking Factors vs Commercial Factors

Our ranking weights are published publicly on the editorial policy page. Commission rate is not one of the weights. A casino paying us a higher commission cannot buy a higher position in our top-15 table.

How to Verify Our Independence

Every ranking change is timestamped in the source file on GitHub
Every review has a named author and reviewer
Our testing steps are public on the how we test page
Our conflict-of-interest rules are public on the editorial policy page
We publish corrections with dated notes at the bottom of any updated article

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is provided in accordance with the US Federal Trade Commission's Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255). The existence of an affiliate relationship is disclosed clearly and conspicuously on any page that contains affiliate links, as well as here.
