Affiliate Disclosure
MadDuckBet is an affiliate website. We don't operate a casino, take deposits, hold player funds, run games or process gambling transactions. We compare casinos and bonuses, and we link to them.
How we get paid
When you click a "Visit Casino" or "Get Bonus" link and then register or deposit at that casino, the casino may pay us a commission. These deals are usually a share of the operator's revenue from the players we send, a one-off payment per registered player, or a mix of the two. You never pay us anything, and your bonus is not smaller because you arrived through us.
This is the entire business model. It's why the site is free to use and why there are no ads on it.
What the money affects
Being paid by the companies we write about is a real conflict of interest, so here is where it touches the site:
- Which casinos we cover at all. In practice we can only list operators whose affiliate programmes we can reach.
- Paid placements. Where a casino has paid for a highlighted slot, it carries a label saying so.
- What we spend time on. Markets and operators that earn something get reviewed sooner than ones that don't.
What the money does not affect
- Bonus terms. Wagering requirements, minimum deposits, validity and restrictions are taken from the casino's own terms, never adjusted to suit a commission deal.
- Ratings and reviews. Scores come from the criteria published on the casinos page. Commission rate isn't one of them.
- The "Recommended" order. Its inputs are published on the same page, and payment isn't among them.
- Negative findings. If an operator pays well and treats players badly, the review says so. Operators don't see or approve our reviews before we publish them.
Links and tracking
Outbound casino links go through a /go/ address on our own domain so that the click can be counted and attributed. The record includes the casino, the page you clicked from, device type, the country you selected if you selected one, campaign parameters and the time. It does not include your name, your email address or anything from a casino account. The detail is in the cookie policy and the privacy policy.
What we are not
We're not a regulator, a licensing body, an ombudsman or a dispute service. A casino being listed here isn't a guarantee that it holds a licence valid where you live, that it will pay you, or that online gambling is legal in your country. Check the licence and your local rules yourself, and read responsible gambling before you play.
If we've got something wrong
If anything here is inaccurate, whether a bonus term, a payout time or an unlabelled placement, tell us through the contact page. We'll correct it, or explain why we think it's right.
