Affiliate Disclosure

Shmnt.co is an independent review and comparison site. To keep this resource free for readers, we earn referral commissions from casino operators and game providers when you click certain links on our pages and sign up for their services. This page explains exactly how that works and what it means for you.

How We Earn Revenue

When you follow a link from Shmnt.co to a partner casino and create a new account, we may receive a one-time payment or a share of net revenue generated by that account. This is standard practice across comparison and review publishing - it is how sites like ours fund editorial research, testing, and content production without charging readers.

Not every casino or game we cover is a paying partner. We research and write about operators regardless of whether a commercial agreement exists, because our readers rely on complete market coverage.

Our Ratings Are Independent

Commission rates do not influence our scores, rankings, or editorial conclusions. A casino that pays a higher commission does not receive a higher rating. Our evaluation criteria - licensing, bonus fairness, game selection, withdrawal speed, and customer support - are applied consistently to every operator we assess.

If we receive a complaint from a reader or discover a change in an operator's practices, we update our coverage to reflect current conditions, irrespective of any commercial relationship. Accuracy protects our readers and protects our reputation - both matter more than any single referral fee.

How We Select Partners

We apply a baseline standard before entering any affiliate agreement. Operators must meet all of the following criteria:

Hold a valid licence from a recognised regulatory authority (MGA, UKGC, Curacao eGaming, or equivalent)
Process player withdrawals within a reasonable and advertised timeframe
Publish clear bonus terms with wagering requirements disclosed upfront
Operate responsible gambling tools including deposit limits and self-exclusion
Maintain an active and responsive customer support channel

Operators that fail these checks are not listed as partners and are flagged in our reviews where relevant. We re-evaluate partners periodically and remove those that no longer meet our standards.

FTC Compliance

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), Shmnt.co discloses all material connections to the companies whose products and services we review. Where a paid relationship exists, pages carry a visible disclosure notice so readers can weigh that context when making decisions.

We are committed to honest, clear communication about how our business operates. If you have questions about a specific relationship or want to know whether a particular casino is a paying partner, contact us at [email protected] and we will respond promptly.

Your Choices

Affiliate links are never mandatory. You can visit any operator we list by searching for them directly, and our reviews remain equally available whether or not you use our links. We appreciate your support - it is what makes independent publishing possible.
