Where the Money Comes From

Every site covering online casinos is paid by somebody. Most are paid by the operators they write about and prefer not to say so on a page anyone will read. This one is paid the same way and says so here, because a reader who does not know how a site is funded cannot properly weigh what it recommends.

The arrangement, in one paragraph

casina.biz carries affiliate links. When a reader follows one and registers or deposits at the operator, the operator's affiliate programme credits this site with a commission — sometimes a share of the operator's revenue from that player, sometimes a one-off payment. That income covers the writing, the test deposits and the hosting. There is no other revenue stream: no display advertising, no paid placements, no sponsored posts dressed as editorial.

It changes nothing for you

The commission is paid by the operator out of its own marketing budget. Arriving through a link here does not change the bonus you are offered, the terms attached to it, the payment minimums, the payout speed or anything else about the account. Typing the address directly into a browser produces an identical experience — the only difference is that this site is not paid for it.

Not the operator, and not affiliated with it

This needs saying without hedging: casina.biz is not Casina. It does not own, operate or represent the brand, it is not part of the same company, and it has no access to player accounts, balances or documents. No games run on this domain, no deposits are received here, and no registration happens here. Everything transactional takes place on the operator's own site, under the operator's own terms.

How the commission is kept out of the writing

Three rules do the work. First, verdicts are written before any partner link is placed, from the notes taken during testing — the link is added to a finished page, not the page built around the link. Second, the weaknesses found during testing stay in the text; steep wagering, a slow first payout, a thin support desk and a brand's absence from the SRIJ register are all things a commission cannot buy out of a page. Third, no operator sees a page before publication and no operator can request a change to one afterwards.

Every platform is measured against the same checklist — catalogue, payment rails and their real timings, bonus terms recalculated into turnover, support responsiveness, licensing and player-protection tooling. Applying one standard to everyone is what makes the comparisons mean anything.

The limits of what a commission can excuse

No amount of affiliate revenue justifies pointing a reader somewhere unsafe. Pages that describe an offer also describe the deposit limits, the time-outs and the self-exclusion routes that sit next to it, and the RAMJ national register is explained on this site precisely because it is the tool an operator's own marketing will never mention. Where a brand is not licensed in Portugal, that fact appears in the text rather than in a footnote.

Found something wrong?

Payment minimums, bonus percentages and payout windows all move, and a page that was accurate in spring can be wrong by autumn. If something here does not match what you see in the cashier, tell us through the contact page: reports are checked against the operator's current pages, and where they hold up the guide is corrected and re-dated. More on the editorial method is on the about page, and the person who writes these guides is introduced under author.

Affiliate disclosure in the regulatory sense

Beyond the ethics of it, disclosure is also a compliance matter. Gambling advertising in Portugal is regulated, and the expectation on a commercial site is a plain, findable statement of the relationship rather than a line buried in a terms page. This is that statement: some links here are partner links, they pay this site, they cost the reader nothing, and they do not change what is written.

The corollary matters too. Because the model rewards registrations, the honest counterweight is to keep the tone informational rather than promotional — no urgency, no guaranteed winnings, no invented licence, no pressure. Anyone should be able to read a page here, decide not to play, and have lost nothing by reading it.
