Short version: two commission streams, zero paid rankings. Details below, in the order the money would arrive.
Stream 1 — online casino referrals
The buttons on our two online-casino pages (the top 10 and the newest sites) are built to carry referral links from casino operators' affiliate programmes. When a reader follows one, opens an account and plays, the operator can pay this site a fee or a share of its revenue — the terms depend on the programme. Each block of those buttons has a visible note saying so.
Stream 2 — hotel booking partners
A "See room prices" button sits on all 12 resort spec sheets and on the ranking cards. If a booking partner's link is set for that hotel, the button is labelled partner link, and that partner can pay us a commission on a completed booking. With no partner set, it opens the resort's reservation page directly — zero commission.
Status on 30 October 2026
