PokerNewsDaily is free to read, and it stays that way in part because of the poker rooms, casinos, and sportsbooks we work with. This page explains exactly how that works, so it’s never something you have to guess at.
How the money works.
Some of the links on this site — mainly on our reviews, bonus pages, and “best of” comparisons — are affiliate links. If you click one and sign up with that room or casino, we may earn a commission. It costs you nothing extra either way; the money comes from the operator, not out of your pocket.
Where you’ll find these links.
Affiliate links live on our commercial content: reviews, room comparisons, and bonus pages, where you’d expect to find a “sign up” link in the first place. Our news coverage is a different operation entirely — reporting on a tournament or a legislation update doesn’t come with a commercial angle attached, and we’re not paid to mention a room there.
What this doesn’t buy.
An affiliate relationship gets a room listed. It doesn’t get a room a better review, and it doesn’t get an accurate criticism removed. We cover how that separation actually works — and how we test and rate a site regardless of whether we have a deal with it — on our editorial policy and how we evaluate pages.
Before you sign up anywhere.
You have to meet the legal age and be located somewhere it’s legal to play — that varies by state and country, and it’s on you to confirm it before you sign up, not something we can verify for you. Gambling involves real money and real risk, and we’d rather you go in clear-eyed about that than sold on it. If you want tools or resources around that, we cover it directly on our responsible gambling page.
