How we make money

codie.gg is free to read because it is funded by affiliate commission. This page explains precisely what that means, because a site that takes money from the operators it reviews owes its readers a clear account of the arrangement.

What we earn and when

When you click a "Visit site" button and go on to register or deposit at an operator, we may receive a commission from that operator. The commission is paid by the operator, not by you, and it does not change the terms, bonus or price you get. You pay exactly what you would pay reaching the site any other way.

Every outbound link to an operator on this site runs through our own redirect at a path beginning with /go/. That is a technical detail with one honest purpose: it keeps the tracking clean and it means the operator's real link is handled in one place rather than scattered through the pages.

The line it never crosses

Commission never buys a ranking. No operator can pay to appear on a list, to rank higher on one, or to have a review softened. The scoring method is applied the same way to every operator whether they pay us well, pay us little, or do not pay us at all, and the order of every list is set by that score.

This is the single most important sentence on the page, so it is worth stating plainly: if paying us more could move a site up our rankings, this whole site would be worthless, and we know it. The rankings are the product. Selling them would destroy the only thing that makes the commission possible in the first place.

What this means for you

Read our lists knowing that we have a commercial interest in you clicking through, and read them knowing that interest does not decide the order. The way to hold us to that is the change log, where every ranking change is recorded with a reason, and the reviews themselves, which carry the honest cons alongside the pros, including the con that applies to every operator here: they are not licensed in your country and they sit outside your national self-exclusion scheme.

If you ever find a ranking that looks like it was bought, the evidence would be a site placed above better-scoring rivals with no stated reason. You will not find one, because that is not how the list is built. Our editorial policy sets out the wall between the writing and the commercial side in more detail.
