Affiliate Disclosure
We tell you exactly how we get paid. Read this once and you understand the entire commercial structure of this site.
How we make money
tchlih.com is an affiliate publisher. When you click a link to a casino or sportsbook from our site and complete an action (typically signing up and depositing), the operator may pay us a referral fee. This fee comes from the operator's marketing budget; you don't pay any premium for using our links. The price, bonus and terms you get are identical whether you find the operator via us or via Google directly.
How affiliate fees affect ranking — and how they don't
The fee is the same whether an operator scores 8 or 9 in our six-criterion rubric. The only ranking-relevant question is "did the operator clear the 7.5 score threshold?". If yes, it's in the top 10. If no, it isn't — even if the operator pays a higher commission than the brands above it.
Several operators in our review database pay above-average commissions and do not appear in any "top" listing on this site because their rubric score is below 7.5. We are happy to share that operator list with auditors on request.
What we will not do
- Accept payment in exchange for a higher score
- Accept "guaranteed top placement" deals
- Push offshore brands to readers in countries where promoting gambling carries criminal penalties (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Algeria, Jordan, Turkey)
- Coach readers in VPN circumvention of national filtering
- Hide affiliate relationships in unmarked links
- Cloak affiliate URLs in ways that conceal the destination
How we label affiliate links
Every outbound affiliate link on this site carries rel="sponsored nofollow" in HTML, opens in a new tab, and is visually styled as a button-style "Visit" CTA. Editorial links inside body copy (e.g. "see our licensing explainer") are not affiliate links.
Disputes and corrections
If an operator disputes a claim or score, our dispute process applies. The same rule applies to readers: if you spot a factual error, email [email protected] with the URL, the disputed sentence and the source we should use. We publish corrections at the top of the affected article.
