CasinoWithdraws costs readers nothing; casino operators cover the bill by paying us for some of the players we refer. Below is the mechanism in plain terms, which parts of the site it can touch and which parts stay out of its reach.
Where the money comes from
Nearly all of our revenue arrives through affiliate agreements with online casinos and sportsbooks, signed either with the operators themselves or through the partner programmes they run. Readers are never charged, we sell no subscriptions, and no one can pay us to write a given review. Visitor data is not sold to anyone.
Spotting a commercial link
Buttons labelled "Play", "Visit" or "Claim" on reviews, comparison tables and sidebar widgets usually lead first to a /go/ address on CasinoWithdraws itself. That hop hands you over to the casino with a tracking reference attached, and the reference is what tells the casino we referred you. During the hop our server sets two cookies, mozbiz_session and XSRF-TOKEN, and neither survives much beyond 20 hours. On top of that, each page on the site sets mz_vid, kept for twelve months to tell repeat visits apart from new ones, and mz_src, kept for 30 days to record the route that brought you here. The cookie policy covers each of them. Links to regulators, banks, payment providers, help organisations and news outlets are ordinary links that pay us nothing.
The kinds of deal we sign
Terms differ from brand to brand. Under a cost-per-acquisition deal the operator pays a single fee once a referred visitor opens an account and makes a qualifying deposit. Under revenue share we collect an agreed slice of what that player loses at the casino, minus bonuses and fees, for months or sometimes years. Some contracts mix a smaller fixed fee with a share. Rates vary between operators and shift over time, and we do not publish individual figures.
One consequence deserves to be stated openly: with revenue share, our income goes up when referred players lose. That conflict is the reason our payout tests are recorded in exactly the same way for every brand, whether it pays us or not.
What a deal can influence
Commercial terms can affect which casinos we pick for hub pages, the order of brands in lists and tables, and which bonus we highlight when an operator runs several at once. A brand sitting first in a "fastest payout" list is therefore not automatically the one that paid out quickest in every test; the order also reflects our agreements and whether an offer is open to South African visitors.
What no deal can buy
No operator can purchase a review score, a recorded withdrawal time or the removal of a complaint we have documented, and operators cannot edit our reviews. When a partner's payouts slow down, its review says so, and we will take a brand out of our recommendations regardless of what it pays.
Casinos with no agreement
Some casinos reviewed here have no commercial arrangement with us at all; we cover them because readers ask about them, and their pages go through the same tests and the same scoring. Other agreements have lapsed. Whether a page carries a /go/ button is the plainest sign of where an arrangement exists.
The reverse also happens. A brand that pays us may drop out of a hub page when its withdrawals start to drag, when its cashier stops accepting rand, or when complaints pile up faster than it answers them. Losing that traffic is a cost we accept, because a payout guide that keeps recommending slow payers stops being useful to the people reading it, and then it stops earning anything at all.
Your choice remains yours
Clicking through our links adds nothing to what you pay. You can always reach an operator by typing its address yourself instead. Bear in mind that online casino play is not authorised in South Africa, as our disclaimer explains, and that only adults aged 18 or over should gamble.
