Affiliate disclosure
How StakeBonusHub makes money, what it changes about our editorial work, and how to verify our independence.
How we make money
StakeBonusHub is an affiliate website. When you sign up at Stake.com via our links — whether by clicking a CTA, entering our promo code STAKEBONUSHUB, or following any "Play on Stake" button on this site — we earn a commission. The commission is a percentage of the house edge that Stake takes from your bets, paid to us by Stake.
This is the standard affiliate model in iGaming and the only revenue source we operate on. We do not sell ads, we do not charge subscriptions, we do not run sponsored content from individual game providers.
What this changes — and what it doesn't
Our incentive is to drive sign-ups to Stake.com. That naturally biases what we cover (we cover Stake) and how prominently we feature CTAs (visibly on every page).
It does NOT change:
- Our reviews. When a slot has a low RTP or extreme volatility, we say so. When a Stake Original has math we don't like, we explain it.
- Our calculator outputs. Math is math. Calculators run client-side using public formulas. We can't fake EV.
- Our responsible-gambling stance. Our footer, banners, and dedicated pages link to free help resources unconditionally.
How to verify our independence
- Read any individual game review and check our criticism vs the Stake.com marketing copy. They will not match.
- Open our calculators and verify the math against published Stake game algorithms. We use the real formulas.
- Compare our coverage to a "shill" affiliate site (you'll find plenty Googling "stake casino bonus"). Notice we discuss losses, house edge, and risk of ruin alongside any positive coverage.
What our links look like
Every affiliate link on this site:
- Goes to
https://stake.com/?c=STAKEBONUSHUBwith optional UTM parameters appended client-side. - Has
rel="sponsored noopener nofollow"per Google guidelines. - Has
target="_blank"so it opens in a new tab without breaking your back-button behaviour. - Carries a
data-ctaattribute identifying its position on the page (for our own analytics).
Compliance
StakeBonusHub follows the FTC's affiliate disclosure guidelines, the UK ASA's gambling-related advertising rules, and EU Digital Services Act transparency requirements. The disclosure in our footer is present on every page; this dedicated page provides the long-form version.
We do not target users in jurisdictions where Stake.com is restricted (USA, UK, Netherlands, France, Spain and others). We do not market to minors and have age-verification disclaimers throughout.
