Affiliate Disclosure
Transparency is important to us. Here's exactly how we make money and how it affects our content.
🔍 Full Transparency Statement
NebulaSpin earns commission when you sign up at casinos through our affiliate links. This is how we fund our operations and keep the site running. We believe you deserve to know this upfront, which is why this disclosure is prominently featured throughout our site.
What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a business model where we earn a commission for referring customers to casino operators. When you click our links and sign up at a casino, we receive compensation from that casino.
This is a common practice in the online casino review industry and allows us to provide free content while generating revenue to sustain operations.
How We Earn Commission
NebulaSpin participates in affiliate programs with various online casinos and gambling operators. Here's how it works:
Step-by-Step Process
- You click a casino link on NebulaSpin (labeled as "Play on Stake," "Visit Casino," etc.)
- You're redirected to the casino's website with a tracking cookie
- You sign up and create an account (this part is optional, but necessary for us to earn)
- The casino confirms the referral and credits us with a commission
Commission Structures
Casino affiliate programs typically use one of these models:
- CPA (Cost Per Acquisition): We earn a one-time payment when you sign up and make a qualifying deposit
- Revenue Share: We earn a percentage of the casino's net revenue from your activity (ongoing)
- Hybrid Models: A combination of upfront payment plus ongoing revenue share
Important: We do NOT receive information about your individual gambling activity, deposits, bets, wins, or losses. Casinos only share aggregated conversion data necessary for affiliate tracking and commission calculation.
Our Affiliate Relationships
We have affiliate relationships with multiple casino operators, including but not limited to:
- Stake - Primary partner (affiliate code: vi4AVDze)
- Shuffle - Partner (referral code: 0FQDrcAz30)
- Other casinos featured on our reviews and comparison pages
Not all casinos we mention are affiliate partners. If we reference a casino where we don't have an affiliate relationship, we'll note that when relevant.
Does Affiliation Affect Our Content?
Short answer: We strive for it not to, but we acknowledge the potential for bias.
Here's our honest take on this question:
What Doesn't Change
- Honest Assessments: We provide our genuine opinions based on research and analysis
- Highlighting Issues: If a casino has problems, we report them regardless of commission potential
- Rating Criteria: Our rating methodology is consistent across all casinos
- Responsible Gambling: We always prioritize player safety and responsible gambling messaging
Potential Biases We Acknowledge
- Coverage Focus: We may cover casinos where we have affiliate deals more extensively
- Prominence: Partner casinos may appear more prominently on comparison pages
- Benefit of Doubt: We might be slightly more lenient with minor issues for partners
Our Commitment: If we believe a casino provides poor service or treats players unfairly, we will say so regardless of our affiliate relationship. Our long-term reputation is more valuable than short-term commission.
Our Editorial Principles
Affiliate Links Identification
On NebulaSpin, affiliate links are clearly identifiable through:
- Button Labels: "Play on Stake," "Visit Casino," "Get Bonus," etc.
- Context: Links within casino reviews and comparison tables are affiliate links
- Disclosure Reminders: Footnotes and disclaimers on relevant pages
When you click these links, you will be redirected to the casino's website. From that point forward, you are subject to the casino's terms and conditions, not ours.
What You Should Know
It Doesn't Cost You More
Using our affiliate links does not increase the cost to you. Casino bonuses, terms, and conditions are the same whether you sign up through our link or directly. We simply earn a commission for the referral.
You're Not Obligated
You are never obligated to use our affiliate links. You can:
- Navigate directly to casino websites if you prefer
- Research multiple review sites before deciding
- Use our information without clicking any links
Our Recommendations Are Opinions
Our reviews and ratings are subjective opinions based on available information and research. They are not guarantees of quality or suitability for your specific needs.

- Educational Guides: Information about RTP, volatility, wagering requirements, etc.
- Industry News: Updates about new games, regulations, and trends
