Affiliate disclosure

Nobody pays to read Online Casino LOS. The bills are met by casinos that reward the publisher when a reader becomes their customer. Below is the whole arrangement, including the part money plays in the order of the rating board.

At a glance

• Quayward Press Limited, the publisher, receives commission when a reader signs up or deposits at a casino reached from this site.
• Each casino on the rating board is there under a commercial agreement.
• Those agreements feed into the order of the board; what the site reports about bonuses, banking and the law cannot be bought.
• A reader who clicks through pays nothing extra and gets the same offer.
• Links to regulators, legislation and help services bring in no money at all.

Where the money comes from

Casinos run partner schemes that reward websites for sending new customers. The guide belongs to such schemes, sometimes by contract with the casino itself and sometimes through a network that manages several brands. A casino may pay a one-off sum once a referred newcomer funds an account, a cut of what it earns from that customer over the following months, or both. That revenue covers research, the regular re-checking of offers, the banking guides, hosting and design.

Which links are commercial

Commercial links run through addresses on onlinecasinolos.com that start with /go/. That covers the “Visit” buttons on the board, casino names inside comparison tables and the button closing each review. The /go/ step logs the click before handing the reader on; the privacy policy names the cookies that step uses. Links to the National Gambling Board, the provincial boards, Acts of Parliament, banks and support organisations go straight to their destination and pay nothing.

What it means for the rating board

Money has a say in the board, and the guide states that plainly. A casino can appear only when there is an agreement, when it takes South African players and rand, and when it advertises a welcome deal. Its place is then set by the method on how we rate — how generous the published deal is, a spread across casino groups, the operator's history and the commercial terms. Where a spot reflects a paid placement over and above normal commission, a label beside the listing says so.

A familiar brand may be absent because it turns away South African players or because no agreement exists. Being left off says nothing about quality; being listed guarantees nothing either.

What is not for sale

A commission pays for a referral and nothing else. Casinos have no hand in writing reviews, get no preview, and cannot buy the removal of a criticism. Playthrough rules, withdrawal caps, slow payouts and the lack of a local licence are reported in identical terms for partners and non-partners. Pages on payment methods, tax and the law are written with no casino's interest in mind.

What it costs the reader

Nothing. Casinos fund referral fees from their advertising budgets. Someone who arrives via /go/ gets exactly the deal a direct visitor would. Should a page ever show an offer arranged only for this site's readers, it will be marked as an exclusive.

Why the site says this

A guide paid by the casinos it lists has a reason to nudge readers towards them. Readers deserve to know that before trusting a single ranking, and saying so on its own page is the straightforward way to run a site like this one.

The fundamentals stay the same. Read the casino's rules, look up its licence, never stake grocery or rent money, and bear in mind that online casinos hold no South African licence. Only those 18 or older may gamble; the responsible gambling page points to free support.

Questions and updates

Any shift in the commercial set-up that readers ought to hear about leads to a fresh revision, and the date beside the heading moves with it.
