Cryptotips earns affiliate commissions. When a reader clicks through to an operator and then registers and deposits, the operator pays us a revenue share, typically 25 to 40 percent of its net gaming revenue from that account for a defined period. That commission funds the testing, the writing, the editing, the hosting, and the coffee.
Nothing editorial. Scores are assigned by the testing team from a scoring matrix that does not include commercial fields. Rankings are sorted automatically from the scores. No operator has ever paid us to raise a rank and no operator has ever succeeded in asking. If a site improves its product, the score moves up; if the product regresses, the score moves down; the commission rate has no entry in that equation.
It changes which operators are worth reviewing in the first place. We only cover operators we can maintain a clean affiliate relationship with, and we do not list operators that target Australia, the USA, India, the United Kingdom, or Germany. Those are regulated or restricted markets where unlicensed promotion is either illegal or ethically indefensible, so any brand that accepts or markets to players in those countries is out of our test set on principle. That is a selection bias worth being honest about, and it is the reason our list is short rather than long: the bar to enter is affiliate viability, jurisdictional cleanliness, and the editorial bar, and only a handful of sites clear all three.

The ones that are not visible are our internal rev-share rates with each operator. We do not publish those because they are negotiated commercially; if you are a regulator, researcher, or journalist with a legitimate need to see them, email [email protected] and we will discuss access under a standard NDA.
If you have a question about a specific commercial relationship, email editorial. We will answer on the record.
