Affiliate Disclosure
Full transparency about how we earn commissions and maintain editorial independence.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Bettably participates in affiliate marketing programs offered by sportsbooks, betting sites, and daily fantasy sports platforms. This means we earn a commission when you click on certain links on our site and open an account or place a bet.
Affiliate links allow us to fund our research, testing, and content creation while keeping the Site free for readers. This is a standard practice in the online sports betting industry.
How Affiliate Marketing Works
You Click a Link
When you click a link to a sportsbook on our site, you're sent to that sportsbook's website. A tracking cookie is stored in your browser.
You Open an Account
If you decide to open an account or make a deposit, the sportsbook tracks this action using the cookie.
We Earn a Commission
The sportsbook pays us a commission (typically a percentage of your deposits or losses). This comes at no extra cost to you.
You Get the Same Bonuses
You receive the exact same bonuses and promotions whether you use our link or go directly to the sportsbook. The commission does not reduce your winnings or bonuses.
Our Editorial Independence
We maintain strict editorial independence. Our reviews, ratings, and recommendations are based on:
- Odds competitiveness (juice/vig) and line quality
- Payout processing speed and reliability
- Bonus rollover requirements and withdrawal restrictions
- Regulatory compliance and licensing status
- Live betting performance and app stability
- Customer support quality and response times
Commission rates have zero influence on our ratings. Many of our top-rated sportsbooks actually pay lower commissions than alternatives.
Which Links Are Affiliate Links?
As a general rule, any link that sends you to a sportsbook or betting site is likely an affiliate link. This includes:
- Links within sportsbook reviews and comparison pages
- "Visit Site" or "Claim Bonus" buttons
- Sportsbook logos and images that link to their websites
- Links in blog posts and articles
We clearly disclose affiliate relationships throughout the site. Links to non-commercial resources (e.g., state gaming commissions, responsible gambling organizations) are not affiliate links.
We Do Not Accept Paid Reviews
Bettably has a strict policy:
- We never accept payment to write reviews or influence our ratings.
- We never guarantee positive coverage in exchange for affiliate partnerships.
- Sportsbooks cannot buy their way into our top recommendations.
If a sportsbook has poor odds, slow payouts, or unfair bonus terms—we will say so, regardless of commission rates.
