How we make money
SpinaZonke.io is a commercial publication. We earn affiliate commissions when readers click through to one of the operators we review, sign up, and play. The commission comes out of the operator's marketing budget. It does not come out of the player's pocket. It does not change the welcome bonus or any other promotion the operator offers.
What does not change because of money
Our ratings. Our reviews. The order in which operators appear in our rankings. The pros and cons we list. The numbers we publish.
Every operator review on this site is based on a real test, with a real R200 deposit, on a real account opened by Sipho Khumalo. Every number is checked by Nomvula Dube against the operator's live terms and the relevant provincial gambling board.
What is disclosed
Three things, on every relevant page:
- A bar at the top of every page stating "We may earn a commission from operator links." with a link back to this page.
- The word Partner next to any operator we have a formal commercial partnership with (currently Hollywoodbets).
- The attribute
rel="sponsored"on every outbound affiliate link, as required by Google's webmaster guidelines.
Editorial firewall
The editorial team, Sipho Khumalo and Nomvula Dube, does not have visibility into commercial commission rates. They are paid a fixed salary, not a percentage of revenue. Reviews are written before commercial terms are negotiated. If an operator pulls their affiliate programme after we publish a negative review, we do not edit the review.
What you should do with this information
Read the review. Compare it against another source (CasinoHEX SA, Bettors, the operator's own page). Decide based on what fits your play style. If you sign up via our link, thanks, that is how the lights stay on. If you sign up via the operator's organic search result, that is also fine.
