By Oliver Drake, slot reviewer — 8+ years covering themed slots and RTP analysis. Last updated 11 July 2026. 18+ only. Casino links across duckslots.net are affiliate links — this page is the full disclosure of how that works.
The short version: when you click a link from duckslots.net to an online casino and then register or deposit, that casino pays us a commission. This page spells out what that means for you.
Which links are affiliate links
Links pointing to casino sites — the “Play at…”, “Claim at…” and “Visit…” buttons, and the casino links in our “Where to Play” tables — are affiliate links. They carry a tracking parameter so the casino knows the visit came from us. Links to game providers, help organizations and other information sources are not commercial.
What we get paid for
Casinos pay for referred players — typically a fee when a referred visitor signs up and deposits, or a share of the revenue that follows. Exact terms differ from casino to casino; the existence of the commission does not.
What it costs you
Nothing. The price of playing — deposits, odds, bonus terms, withdrawal rules — is identical whether you arrive through our link or type the casino’s address yourself. You never pay extra to fund our commission, and any bonus code we mention is the same public code available to everyone.
What the commission does not buy
Scores. Ratings on this site come from the testing process described in How We Test, and they don’t move for money. Some casinos we partner with hold mediocre scores here, and those scores will stay mediocre until the product improves. If a casino made a better rating a condition of partnership, we’d end the partnership.
The same applies to games: providers don’t pay us, and review verdicts aren’t sponsored.
How links are marked
Affiliate links carry the rel="sponsored" attribute, and every page that contains them shows a disclosure notice near the top. If you find a page where that notice is missing, report it — that’s a mistake, not a policy.
The conflict, stated plainly
We make money when you gamble. That is a real conflict of interest, and the only honest treatments for it are disclosure — this page — and testing discipline. We’d rather you play less and trust us longer: gambling is 18+, it’s entertainment spending rather than income, and our responsible gambling page lists free help if it ever stops being fun.
Gambling should stay fun. Set limits before you play, never chase losses, and if it stops feeling like entertainment, get free confidential help at BeGambleAware or GamCare. 18+.
