Introduction
Transparency is the foundation of trust. At Online Slots Singapore, we believe you deserve to know exactly how we operate, how we make money, and how that affects — or does not affect — our recommendations.
This Affiliate Disclosure explains:
- What affiliate links are and how they work
- How we earn commissions
- Whether our recommendations are biased by compensation
- Your rights as a reader
- Our commitment to honesty and accuracy
Please read this disclosure carefully. By using our website, you acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined below.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special URLs that track when a user clicks from our website to an online casino. If you click one of these links and subsequently sign up, deposit money, or take a specified action, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
How affiliate links work:
| Step | What Happens |
|---|---|
| 1 | You click a “Play Now,” “Claim Bonus,” or similar link on Online Slots Singapore |
| 2 | The link contains a tracking code that identifies us as the referrer |
| 3 | You are redirected to the casino’s website |
| 4 | If you sign up and deposit, the casino records that we referred you |
| 5 | The casino pays us a commission (typically a percentage of your deposit or a flat fee) |
| 6 | You pay nothing extra — your bonus, odds, and terms are exactly the same as if you had gone directly to the casino |
Important: Affiliate links do not increase your costs, reduce your bonuses, or change your terms of service in any way. The casino cannot charge you more because you came through an affiliate link — that would violate their agreements with affiliates.
How We Earn Commissions
Online Slots Singapore participates in several affiliate programmes operated by the online casinos we review. These programmes pay us commissions based on:
| Commission Type | How It Works | Typical Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue Share | We earn a percentage of the net revenue (player losses minus winnings, bonuses, and chargebacks) generated by players we refer | 25% – 45% |
| Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) | We earn a flat fee for each new depositing player we refer | $150 – $500 USD equivalent |
| Hybrid | A combination of lower revenue share + smaller CPA | Varies |
| Free Spins / Bonus Packages | Some programmes provide free spins or bonus credits to distribute to our readers | N/A |
Which casinos pay us? The table below shows our relationship with each casino we review. Full disclosure is the policy.
| Casino | Affiliate Relationship | Compensation Type | Review Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| BetGoat | Yes | Revenue Share (35%) | 9.9/10 |
| 12Play | Yes | CPA ($250 USD per depositor) | 9.8/10 |
| BK8 | Yes | Hybrid (20% + $150 CPA) | 9.7/10 |
| Uwin33 | Yes | Revenue Share (40%) | 9.6/10 |
| Maxim88 | Yes | CPA ($200 USD per depositor) | 9.5/10 |
| MyBet88 | Yes | Revenue Share (30%) | 9.4/10 |
| CMD368 | Yes | CPA ($175 USD per depositor) | 9.3/10 |
| SGClub18 | Yes | Revenue Share (35%) | 9.2/10 |
Casinos we review but do NOT have affiliate relationships with: None at this time. We believe in full transparency — if we review it, we have either an existing affiliate relationship or we are actively testing for potential partnership.
Casinos that pay us NOTHING: All of them. We are not paid by any casino to write positive reviews. Our compensation comes only from commissions on player activity — not from upfront payments for favourable coverage.
Does Affiliate Compensation Affect Our Reviews?
No. Absolutely not.
This is the most important question, and we want to be crystal clear: Our reviews are independent, honest, and based solely on our testing. We do not:
- Write positive reviews because a casino pays us more
- Write negative reviews because a casino pays us less
- Remove negative information from a review to protect a commission
- Rank casinos higher because they offer higher commissions
- Accept payment for “guaranteed” placement or ratings
How we ensure independence:
| Safeguard | How It Works |
|---|---|
| Testing-first approach | We open accounts, deposit real money, and test every casino before writing anything |
| Standardised criteria | Every casino is evaluated using the same 50+ point checklist |
| No editorial review from casinos | Casinos do not see or approve our reviews before publication |
| Negative reviews are published | We publish negative reviews and warnings about casinos that fail our tests — even if they are affiliate partners |
| Public accountability | Our ratings are transparent, and we explain exactly why each casino received its score |
| Regular re-testing | Casinos are re-tested every 3-6 months. A good casino that gets worse will see its rating drop |
What we do NOT accept:
- Paid placements (“sponsored reviews”)
- Free chips or bonuses in exchange for favourable coverage
- Editorial approval rights for casinos
- Gifts, trips, or “hospitality” from casino operators
- Equity or ownership in any casino or gaming operator
What we DO accept:
- Standard affiliate commissions (like any other comparison website)
- Demo accounts for testing purposes (clearly disclosed when used)
- Press releases and product information (treated as marketing, not fact)
Why You Should Trust Our Reviews
Independent testing costs money. Real deposits, real withdrawal requests, hours of gameplay, and professional writing time all have costs. Affiliate commissions fund this work.
Without affiliate commissions:
- We could not afford to test dozens of casinos with real money
- Our reviews would be based on screenshots and marketing materials, not real experience
- We would need to charge readers for access or run intrusive display advertising
- We would have less incentive to keep our content updated
With affiliate commissions (our actual model):
- We test every casino with real deposits (often $500+ per casino)
- We request real withdrawals to verify payout speeds
- We update reviews regularly (every 3-6 months)
- Our content is free for all readers
- We have no display advertising, pop-ups, or paywalls
The alignment of interests: Our commissions depend on you trusting our recommendations. If we recommend bad casinos, you will not deposit, we will not earn commissions, and you will stop reading our site. The only sustainable business model is to provide honest, accurate, valuable information that helps you make good decisions.
Our track record: Since launching, we have:
- Removed 6 casinos from our recommended list after they failed withdrawal tests
- Published 5 “casinos to avoid” warnings (none of which are affiliate partners)
- Downgraded 3 previously recommended casinos due to declining performance
- Never accepted payment to change a rating or remove negative information
Your Rights As A Reader
You have the right to:
| Right | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Know how we make money | This disclosure explains our affiliate relationships |
| Receive honest information | Our reviews reflect our genuine, tested opinions |
| Compare across sources | We encourage you to read multiple reviews before choosing a casino |
| Contact us with concerns | If you believe a review is inaccurate or biased, email us and we will investigate |
| Use or ignore affiliate links | You can search for the casino directly if you prefer not to use our links — though we appreciate when you do |
What we ask from you:
- Understand that affiliate links help keep our content free
- Recognise that no online casino review can guarantee you will win or have a positive experience
- Gamble responsibly and within your limits
- Contact us if you find inaccurate information so we can correct it
Affiliate Program Specifics
We are participants in the affiliate programmes of the casinos listed on this site. These programmes include but are not limited to:
| Affiliate Network / Program | Casinos Covered |
|---|---|
| BetGoat Partners | BetGoat |
| 12Play Affiliates | 12Play |
| BK8 Partners | BK8 |
| Uwin33 Affiliate Program | Uwin33 |
| Maxim88 Partners | Maxim88 |
| MyBet88 Affiliates | MyBet88 |
| CMD368 Partner Program | CMD368 |
| SGClub18 Affiliates | SGClub18 |
Standard affiliate terms (vary by programme):
- Cookie duration: 30 – 90 days (if you click our link and deposit within that window, we earn commission)
- Commission payment schedule: Monthly (typically net-30 or net-60)
- Minimum payout threshold: $100 – $500 USD equivalent
- Negative carryover: Some programmes apply negative carryover (next month’s losses offset previous months’ wins)
What “negative carryover” means for us: If a player we refer wins $10,000 in January, we may have a negative commission balance. Some programmes carry that negative balance forward to future months. This creates a financial incentive for us to refer players who lose — which is precisely why we disclose it. We actively avoid programmes with predatory negative carryover terms where possible, and we flag them when we cannot.
