Affiliate disclosure

How this site makes money, and how we keep that separate from our ratings.

Last updated 10 Oct 2026

Online Casinos USA is free to read. We pay for it through affiliate partnerships with some of the operators we write about.

How it works

When you click an offer button and open an account, the operator may pay us a commission. You never pay more because of this.

What it does not change

  • Partners cannot pay for a higher rating or a better position.
  • We say clearly whether an operator is state-licensed, a sweepstakes casino, or licensed offshore.
  • Offer boxes always show the key terms next to the offer.

How to spot an affiliate link

Offer buttons, such as the “Claim Bonus” and “Play Now” buttons in our casino rankings, are affiliate links. Many of them go through a short address on this site that starts with /go/ before forwarding you to the operator. Affiliate links on this site use rel="sponsored" so search engines can identify them.

Why we tell you

The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires publishers to disclose material connections with the brands they feature. We would tell you anyway: you should know how a site is funded before you trust its recommendations.
