Affiliate Disclosure

LearnTheOdds has financial relationships with some of the operators we write about. We disclose each relationship type below so you know exactly what we earn, and what we don't, from each operator. None of these relationships affect our testing criteria, scores, or stated findings.

Current financial relationships

Stake.us: revenue-share affiliate

When you register at Stake.us through a tagged link on this site and play, we receive a percentage of the net revenue generated on your account, paid by Stake.us. This is a standard publisher affiliate arrangement. Tagged links use per-page campaign codes (e.g. LTOREVIEW, LTOBlackjack) for attribution. We use rel="sponsored nofollow" on all outbound Stake.us links.

SpinQuest: revenue-share affiliate

When you register at SpinQuest through a tagged link on this site, we receive a share of net revenue from your account, paid by SpinQuest. This is a standard publisher affiliate arrangement. Tagged links use per-page campaign codes (e.g. lto-review, lto-craps) built on the SpinQuest affiliate URL format. We use rel="sponsored nofollow" on all outbound SpinQuest links.

Amazon Associates: physical products

We participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program under the store ID ltowildstudio-20. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases: if you buy through a tagged link on this site, Amazon pays us a small percentage of the order at no extra cost to you. This is materially different from the operator arrangements above, it pays on a physical product you bought, not on gambling activity, and it cannot be affected by how you play.

This page used to say Amazon links appeared on one page only. That changed in July 2026 when we published our own books, so here is the standing policy rather than a count: we use affiliate links where they are appropriate, and not where they would compromise the work. In practice Amazon links appear on the casino cruise packing list, on our own books, and on the cards pointing at them. They do not appear on calculators, casino reviews, state pages or responsible gambling content, and nothing outside our operator reviews links you to a place to gamble.

All Amazon links carry rel="sponsored nofollow noopener". We publish no prices, ratings, review counts, stock status or delivery claims, and we use no Amazon imagery, those come from Amazon and are only accurate there.

Our own books: a first-party product, not a recommendation

The books are ours. Jake Wild, the byline on this site's articles, wrote them; Wild Games Studio, LLC, which publishes this site, publishes them. That is a total connection rather than a partial one, and it is stated on every card and page where a book appears, ahead of anything about buying, because it is the more important fact.

We earn twice on a sale: a publishing royalty, and an Amazon Associates referral fee on the same order. Neither depends on how or whether you gamble. The research behind both books is free on this site and stays free: the books assemble it at length, they do not paywall it. And neither book claims a method for beating a negative-edge game; see what we don't sell.

McLuck: player referral only (not a publisher affiliate)

McLuck does not offer a publisher or creator affiliate program. Our relationship with McLuck is a standard player-to-player friend referral: if a referred friend spends over $100, we earn Gold Coins and Sweep Coins, not cash, and not a percentage of revenue. This is materially different from our Stake.us and SpinQuest arrangements. We include a McLuck referral link on the McLuck review page; it uses rel="sponsored nofollow". We do not recommend McLuck (it scored 50/100 on our rubric): the link is provided for readers who choose to visit anyway.

How compensation affects what you read

Compensation can affect which operators we feature and their placement on comparison pages, but it does not affect our testing criteria, rubric scores, or stated findings. Our McLuck review is the clearest example: we earn from McLuck referrals and still rate it 50/100 and explicitly do not recommend it. We rank operators by their true consumer value; see our Methodology for the full rubric.

How we label affiliate links

Outbound affiliate links use standard rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" attributes. Affiliate CTAs are visually marked and appear in dedicated sections, not inline with editorial content. Operator offers and eligibility change often; we date and re-check this content, but always confirm current terms on the operator's own site.
