Editorial independence
Our editorial decisions — what to review, what to cover on each page, what to say in the pros and cons list, what to flag as a weakness — are not controlled by the operator. The operator cannot buy a better verdict, remove a listed weakness, suppress a complaint route or require us to add a feature we do not consider true. If the operator ever stops paying commissions, we will keep the review pages running on the same editorial terms until a new sponsor appears or until the pages become unprofitable to maintain. The verdict section states what we would say to a friend; the commercial side changes none of that.
Regulatory note
United States federal and state regulations require affiliate sites to disclose paid commercial relationships clearly. This page is our disclosure. Every page that links to Bet Mode is covered by it; we do not consider a separate disclosure necessary on each page because readers who care about the funding model will come to this page, and readers who only care about the facts about Bet Mode will find them in the review pages themselves. The disclosure is also reflected in our affiliate links, which carry a 'sponsored' flag at the HTML level so that search engines can see the commercial relationship without the reader needing to inspect each link.
What it changes for you
In practical terms the affiliate relationship changes two things for you as a reader. First, the welcome bonus you see on our pages is tied to our referral code: if you follow a link from this site, you land on an account funnel pre-loaded with the bonus and the terms we describe. If you reach Bet Mode by any other route you may land on a different bonus, with different terms, or no bonus at all. Second, our review pages exist. Without the affiliate funding there would be no editorial budget to track Bet Mode across two review cycles a year, to capture screenshots on multiple devices, and to update promo codes as they rotate. The disclosure is a trade-off: in return for a referral commission, you get a research-grade overview of the operator for free.
How we earn
This site is funded by affiliate commissions. When a reader clicks a link from one of our pages, opens a Bet Mode account and places a qualifying first deposit, the operator pays us a referral fee. The fee is paid once per referred player, usually as a share of the net gaming revenue the operator earns from that player over the first twelve months. We never receive a share of individual bets or losses on a per-session basis; the commission is calculated and paid monthly on an aggregated basis by the operator's affiliate department.
Two smaller streams supplement the main commission. A fixed per-signup bounty is paid for accounts that complete verification but do not reach the first deposit — this is a flat amount that covers our acquisition cost and does not depend on later activity. A small bonus is also paid when a referred player keeps the account active past the six-month mark; this reflects the fact that long-tenure players are more valuable to the operator and is paid out in a single lump at the anniversary. None of these streams is tied to specific wins or losses by individual players.
Pricing note
The affiliate commission does not change what you pay. Bet Mode charges every player the same odds, the same deposit fees — if any — and the same wagering requirements regardless of whether the player arrived through our site, through a search result, through a social post or by typing the domain directly. There is no 'affiliate price' and no 'direct price': the commercial terms you see inside the operator's cashier are identical for every player.
