How We Make Money
Short version: when you sign up to a platform through our links or with our promo codes, we may earn an affiliate commission. It costs you nothing extra. And it never changes what we write.
Here’s the full picture, in plain English.
The model
HypeVerdict is an affiliate site. The platforms we review run partner programs: when a user we referred deposits and opens boxes, the platform pays us a commission. That commission is how we fund the site — our test deposits, our time, and the hosting bill.
What it means for you
- Nothing changes in what you pay. The box prices, odds, and fees you see on a platform are identical whether you arrive through our link or type the URL yourself.
- Our promo codes are free to use. FREEBOX and any future codes don’t cost you anything and don’t change box odds — they only stretch your first deposit.
- You can always go direct. Every review names the platform clearly. If you’d rather not use our link, just search for it yourself. Our opinion doesn’t change either way.
Why this doesn’t corrupt the reviews
We know how this sounds — “the site earns money from the sites it reviews.” Fair. Here’s what we do about it:
- Scores come from test data, not from commission rates. A platform that pays more does not get a better score. Period.
- We publish negative findings. LootKick earns us money, and its review still lists its cons: no card withdrawal, peak-hours queues, a $250/day cap for unverified accounts. If a partner gets worse, the review says so.
- We’ve turned down partners whose payout numbers didn’t match our tests. If a platform doesn’t pass the test, there’s no review, no link, no revenue — and no score.
- Disclosure everywhere. A note sits above every affiliate link on the page, and the footer carries a site-wide affiliate disclosure. No fine print hiding.
Where the money goes
Back into testing. Every dollar of commission buys the next round of deposits, opens, and withdrawal tests — which is the whole reason this site can publish real numbers instead of recycled press-kit claims.
