How BetEdge Makes Money (And Why It Matters)

We believe in radical transparency. Here's exactly how BetEdge operates financially—and why our business model aligns with your interests, not against them.

Yes, We Earn Affiliate Commissions

When you sign up at a casino through a BetEdge link, we may earn a commission from that casino. This is standard in the online gambling industry and is how we fund our operations:

  • Data analysis and testing – We deposit real money, test withdrawals, and verify performance
  • Editorial team salaries – Writers, analysts, and researchers
  • Monthly BetEdge Score updates – Fresh data, recalculated rankings
  • Server costs and technology – Hosting, tools, infrastructure

This is an affiliate site. We are not hiding that.

But Here's What Makes BetEdge Different

1. Commission Rates Do NOT Determine Rankings

Most casino review sites rank casinos by who pays the highest commission. We don't.

Our Promise:
The BetEdge Score™ is based solely on our five-pillar methodology:

  1. Trust & Licensing (25%)
  2. Payout Speed (20%)
  3. Bonus Value (20%)
  4. Game Fairness (20%)
  5. Player Experience (15%)

A casino paying more does not rank higher unless it genuinely performs better.
Performance determines position. Always.

2. We Only Earn If You Stay and Play

This is the key difference.

Most Affiliate Sites:
They earn immediately on click or signup—your experience doesn’t matter.

BetEdge's Model:
We earn ongoing revenue only if you remain an active, satisfied player.

  • Slow payouts → You leave → We don’t earn
  • Predatory bonus terms → You get frustrated → We don’t earn
  • Bad operators → You churn → We don’t earn
  • Good casinos, fast withdrawals, fair gameplay → You stay → We earn

Our success depends on your satisfaction.
Our incentives are aligned with yours.

3. Transparency in Every Review

Every casino listing on BetEdge provides:

  • A full breakdown of how the BetEdge Score™ was calculated
  • Data sources (licensing, RTPs, withdrawal speed tests)
  • Red flags, warnings, and important notes
  • A clear "Last Updated" timestamp

You don’t have to trust us blindly — you can verify the data.

4. We Feature Casinos We Can't Monetize

Some top casinos have no affiliate programs or are unavailable in certain regions.

We still rank them.
If they score well, they appear—whether or not we earn.

Player value comes first. Always.

What We Do NOT Do

  • Paid placements – No casino can buy a higher ranking
  • Fake reviews – We test casinos using real money
  • Hidden agendas – All affiliate relationships are disclosed
  • Predatory marketing – No “guaranteed wins” or misleading hype
  • Selling your data – We don’t sell emails or personal info

How to Spot Dishonest Affiliate Sites

Red flags that a casino review site isn’t trustworthy:

  • “Top 10” lists that never change
  • No ranking methodology explained
  • Only positive reviews; no flaws mentioned
  • Aggressive CTAs like “CLAIM NOW!”
  • No timestamps on reviews

BetEdge Does the Opposite:

  • Monthly ranking updates
  • Full methodology published
  • Red flags highlighted
  • No urgency manipulation
  • Every score includes a “Last Updated” date

Our Commitment to You

We Will Always:

  • Prioritize player value over commission size
  • Update rankings monthly based on fresh data
  • Disclose affiliate relationships clearly
  • Flag casinos that underperform—even if we earn from them
  • Provide verifiable evidence behind every BetEdge Score

We Will Never:

  • Rank casinos based on payment deals
  • Hide negative information to protect commissions
  • Promote unlicensed or predatory operators
  • Sell your data or compromise your privacy

Bottom Line

Yes, we earn affiliate commissions.
But our business model only works when we recommend casinos that treat you fairly, pay fast, and provide real value.

Transparency isn’t a marketing tactic. It’s our operating principle.
