Affiliate disclosure

RakeBase is an independent affiliate and comparison site for crypto casino, sportsbook and prediction-market welcome offers. We do not charge our visitors anything. Instead, we participate in the affiliate and referral programmes run by the platforms we list.

When you click a link or use a code on RakeBase and then sign up, or take a qualifying action such as making a first deposit, the operator or its affiliate network may pay us. Depending on the platform, this can take the form of:

• a one-time referral fee (cost per acquisition) for a qualifying sign-up, and/or
• an ongoing revenue share based on the operator’s activity from referred players.

These payments are how we cover the cost of building, researching and maintaining the site.

• It costs you nothing extra. You pay the same, and frequently get a better or exclusive welcome offer, whether you reach the operator through RakeBase or go to them directly.
• You’re never obligated to use our links. They’re there for convenience and to unlock our offers; using them is entirely your choice.
• The offer is between you and the operator. We don’t process sign-ups, deposits or payments, and we don’t control an operator’s terms, which can change at any time.

We want to be straight with you about this, because it’s the whole reason the site exists:

• We generally feature operators we have an affiliate relationship with, so the offers you see are not an exhaustive list of everything available in the market.
• Commercial arrangements can influence which offers are featured, promoted or ranked more prominently, and offers may be labelled “featured” or “sponsored”.
• Being paid by an operator does not change the facts we publish about an offer. We commit to describing each offer’s real terms, bonus value, minimum deposit, wagering requirements, eligibility and withdrawal rules, as accurately as we can, and to leading with those terms rather than the hype.
• If an offer’s terms get worse, or an operator behaves in a way we’re not comfortable with, we’ll revise or remove it.

In other words: our income depends on referrals, but our usefulness depends on being honest about what you’re signing up for. We try hard to keep those two things aligned.

We assess offers on the real value of the bonus (not just the headline “up to” figure), the fairness and clarity of the wagering requirements, deposit and withdrawal options, payout reliability, and the operator’s overall reputation. We review listings regularly and update them when terms change. You can read more in our About page.

To keep things transparent at the point where it matters, you will see clear disclosures placed directly alongside offers, not just on this page. These include:

• “Sponsored” or “Featured” tags on offer cards and offer pages where a commercial relationship applies.
• A short line such as “This site may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you” near offer buttons and in the footer.
• An advertising label (for example “#ad” or “Ad”) where required by the platform or jurisdiction.

These labels exist so you always know when a link is a paid affiliate link, which, on RakeBase, you can assume is the case for any “Claim Offer” or “View Offer” link unless we state otherwise.

Nothing on RakeBase is financial, legal or professional advice, and nothing here is a recommendation to gamble. Gambling involves real financial risk. Our content is intended only for adults aged 18 or over (or the legal gambling age where you live), who understand that risk and only ever play with money they can afford to lose.

If gambling stops being fun, free and confidential support is available, see our Responsible Gambling page, or visit begambleaware.org (UK), call 1-800-GAMBLER (US), or visit gamblingtherapy.org (worldwide).

We aim to disclose our affiliate relationships in a way that is clear and conspicuous, consistent with:

• the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Endorsement Guides;
• the UK CAP Code and Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) rules on affiliate marketing and gambling advertising; and
• EU consumer-protection rules requiring the commercial intent of content to be made clear.

If anything about how we make money is unclear, or you’d like to know whether a specific link is an affiliate link, contact us at contact@rakebase.com.
