Affiliate Disclosure

BookOfDead.ie is an independent review and information site dedicated to Irish players who want accurate, up-to-date guidance on Book of Dead and the online casinos that carry it. To keep this site free for readers, we earn referral commissions when you click one of our casino links and create a real-money account.

This is standard practice across the affiliate publishing industry and is explicitly permitted under Irish and EU advertising guidelines. We are committed to full transparency: every page that links to a casino operator carries this disclosure, and no commission arrangement is hidden from our audience.

How Commissions Work

When you follow a link from BookOfDead.ie to a casino partner and complete a qualifying registration, the casino pays us a fee. This fee is either a one-time payment, a revenue-share percentage, or a combination of both - the exact structure varies by operator. You pay nothing extra: the commission comes from the casino's marketing budget, not from your deposits or winnings.

We receive no payment simply for featuring a casino, and we receive no bonus for placing a specific operator higher in our rankings. Our rating methodology is applied uniformly to every casino we review.

Our Editorial Independence

Commercial relationships do not influence our scores, rankings, or written assessments. A casino that pays a higher commission rate does not receive a higher rating. Our reviews are based on independently verified criteria:

Valid gaming licence issued by the Irish Revenue Commissioners or a recognised EU regulator
Verified RTP figures for Book of Dead from the official provider, Play'n GO
Documented bonus terms including wagering requirements, time limits, and game restrictions
Withdrawal speed and payment method availability for Irish players
Responsible gambling tools such as deposit limits, self-exclusion, and reality checks

If a casino fails to meet our minimum standards on any of these points, we do not list it - regardless of any commercial offer. We reserve the right to remove or downgrade a partner at any time if their standards decline after publication.

Partner Selection

We approach partnership negotiations only after a casino has passed our editorial review. Operators must hold a current licence, offer Book of Dead in their game library, and demonstrate fair complaint-handling records. We do not accept partnerships with unlicensed sites or platforms that target self-excluded players.

Compliance with FTC Guidelines

In accordance with the US Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, and equivalent standards set by the Advertising Standards Authority for Ireland, we clearly identify all material connections between BookOfDead.ie and any casino operator we recommend. Any page containing affiliate links is covered by this disclosure.
