Affiliate disclosure

How we earn money

20topcasinos.com is published by Zahravel Interactive DMCC. The company works with casino operators and their affiliate programmes. When a reader follows one of our links to a casino, opens an account and makes a deposit, the operator may pay us a commission. Depending on the agreement, this is a one-off payment for each new player, a share of the revenue the casino earns from that player over time, or a combination of both. We do not sell articles, and casinos cannot pay to have a review written in their favour.

How to recognise an affiliate link

Buttons such as "Visit casino" or "Claim bonus" in our comparison tables and reviews are affiliate links. They go through an address on our own domain beginning with /go/ before they forward you to the casino, which lets the operator know you came from us. Links to the National Gambling Helpline, to support organisations, to regulators and to news sources are ordinary links and earn us nothing.

What it costs you

Nothing. You receive the same welcome offer, the same wagering terms and the same payment options as a player who goes to the casino directly. If we ever mention an offer that is available only through our link, we say so on the page where it appears. You are also free to type a casino's address into your browser yourself instead of using our button; the offer and the terms will be the same, we simply will not be paid for the referral.

Before you sign up

An affiliate link is a doorway, not a recommendation for everyone. Read the casino's own terms and bonus rules, check its licence and decide on a budget before you deposit.

Effect on our lists

We would rather be open about this than pretend otherwise: commercial agreements decide which casinos we are able to link to, and a casino without an agreement may appear in a guide without a button. Ratings and the information in our tables, however, follow the criteria published in how we rate casinos: the real value of the bonus after wagering, payment methods that work from Ireland, withdrawal speed, the licence the operator holds and how it treats players. A higher commission does not buy a higher score.

What a commission cannot buy

• Silence about restrictive terms such as maximum bet limits, withdrawal caps or short expiry dates.
• A claim that a casino holds an Irish licence when it does not. Online casinos serving Ireland are licensed elsewhere, and we say so.
• Promotion aimed at anyone under 18 or at people who have excluded themselves from gambling.
• Your personal data. We do not pass names, e-mail addresses or anything else about our readers to casinos.

Archive pages

Our archive of older reviews of German-licensed casinos is kept for reference. Some of these pages still contain affiliate links. The same rules apply to them, and they are marked as archive material so that they are not mistaken for current recommendations for Ireland.

Questions

If you are unsure whether a particular link is an affiliate link, or you think a page does not meet the standards described here, write to us and we will look into it. More about the limits of our information is in the disclaimer.
