Affiliate Disclosure
This page explains, in genuine and complete terms, how this website (“Site”, “we”, “us”) generates revenue and what that funding model means for the Gates of Olympus content and casino comparisons published throughout it. Gates of Olympus is a Pragmatic Play slot distributed through a wide range of independently licensed online casinos. We are not one of those casinos. We operate as an independent editorial and affiliate publisher covering the game and the platforms that offer it.
We believe this explanation matters more than it might seem. Readers who understand how an affiliate site is funded are in a much better position to evaluate what they read there. That is why this page exists as actual content rather than three lines buried in a footer.
// Contents
// The Referral Mechanism Explained
When a visitor follows a link from this Site to a casino offering Gates of Olympus, registers an account, and makes a qualifying deposit, that casino may pay us a referral commission. This is the funding model used by independent gambling comparison publishers generally, and it mirrors how review-based affiliate publishing works in industries well outside gambling. It is, practically speaking, what makes this content free to read.
The commission comes from the casino’s own marketing budget. It adds no cost to your deposit, changes no bonus term you are offered, and has zero effect on how Gates of Olympus actually plays for you. The tumble mechanic, the multiplier symbols, the RTP configuration – none of it shifts based on how you arrived at the casino. We state this explicitly because it is the most persistent misconception readers bring: the idea that an affiliate link costs the player something. It does not.
You would pay the same stakes, receive the same bonuses on the same terms, and play the same version of Gates of Olympus as someone who found the same casino through a search engine and typed the URL directly.
// How Our Partnerships Are Structured
We maintain affiliate relationships with a number of licensed casinos that offer Gates of Olympus. The specific structure varies by partner but generally follows one of these patterns:
- Revenue share – we receive a percentage of net revenue generated by players we have referred, ongoing for as long as those players remain active.
- Cost per acquisition (CPA) – a single fixed payment triggered when a referred player crosses a specified deposit threshold.
- Hybrid arrangements combining elements of both.
We do not disclose the precise commercial terms of individual partnerships, since these are confidential business agreements. What we will state plainly: the size or structure of any commission has never influenced, and will not influence, which casinos appear in our comparisons or how those casinos are described.
// Referral Tracking: What Happens and What Doesn't
A tracking cookie is placed on your device the moment you click through to a partner casino from this Site. It records that the click originated here. If you then register and deposit within that casino’s attribution window – typically 30 days – the referral is credited to us and the corresponding commission becomes payable.
That is the entire mechanism. The cookie captures a click event and a timestamp. It does not identify you personally, does not monitor your session on the casino’s platform once you arrive, and is not used to build any advertising profile. The complete technical specification is in our Cookie Policy.
// How We Actually Choose Which Casinos to Recommend
The question readers should ask – and do ask – is whether commission income shapes what we say. We apply one fixed set of criteria to every casino we evaluate, regardless of what that casino pays us:
- A current, independently verifiable gambling license from a recognized authority.
- Bet limits, withdrawal conditions, and bonus terms stated in language that a reader can actually follow.
- Clear disclosure of which RTP configuration of Gates of Olympus the casino is running, given that Pragmatic Play distributes the game under at least three different settings.
- A functional demo mode that is easy to find.
- Mobile performance that we have personally confirmed rather than taken on faith.
- Responsible gambling tools that are genuinely accessible within the platform, not buried behind a support ticket.
A casino that falls short on even one of these does not get listed, no matter what it pays us. This is not simply a policy position; it is the operating standard we have applied consistently across every evaluation.
We also revisit listed casinos periodically rather than treating an initial pass as permanent. If something material changes – a licensing issue, a deterioration in withdrawal practices, a meaningful increase in player complaints – we update or remove the listing regardless of whatever commercial arrangement is currently in place.
// Identifying an Affiliate Link
A large proportion of the casino links distributed throughout this Site are affiliate links. We disclose this relationship comprehensively through this single page, linked from every section of the Site, rather than tagging individual links, since that level of granularity would significantly reduce the readability of our content. A practical rule worth internalizing: any link to an online casino on this Site could be earning us a commission.
Our Review Cycle
We apply our listing criteria not just when we first add a casino but on an ongoing basis. Casino terms change, license status changes, and player feedback evolves. A one-time evaluation is not sufficient on its own, so we build periodic re-evaluation into our process. Readers who notice a discrepancy between what we have written and what they actually encountered at a listed casino are encouraged to raise it through our contact form – that kind of direct feedback genuinely shapes how we assess and update listings.
// What We Do Not and Cannot Promise
Nothing published on this Site constitutes a guarantee regarding what will happen if you play Gates of Olympus. The RTP figures we cite – 96.5% in the standard configuration, with 95.51% and 94.5% alternatives also in distribution – represent long-run statistical averages published by Pragmatic Play, not predictions for any specific session. Bonus terms, promotional structures, and bet limits are set independently by each casino and can change at any time without any obligation to notify us.
The same applies to game mechanics: the tumble feature, multiplier symbols capable of reaching 500x, and the 5,000x maximum win ceiling all reflect Pragmatic Play’s published parameters at the time of writing. The developer retains full discretion to revise the game.
// Financial Risk
Gambling involves genuine financial risk. Gates of Olympus is a maximum-volatility slot with optional features – the Ante Bet and the Buy Feature – that can meaningfully increase financial exposure. If you follow a link from this Site and choose to play for real money, that decision and any financial consequence belong entirely to you. We encourage setting hard deposit and loss limits before a session rather than during it.
// Where Our Involvement Ends
We have no operational access to any casino’s systems, accounts, or player funds, and we are unable to intervene in any dispute between you and an operator. If something goes wrong at a casino you joined through this Site, the correct first step is always that casino’s own support channel.
Bonus Terms and Our Commission
Whether a casino offers a generous welcome bonus or a modest one has no connection to how much it pays us. These are entirely separate commercial decisions made independently by the operator. We do not factor bonus generosity into our editorial criteria, and commission size does not correlate with it in any case.
// Regulatory Context
Affiliate marketing in the gambling sector is subject to advertising standards and disclosure requirements across numerous jurisdictions. This page is written to meet the transparency expectations common across most major regulated gambling markets. Where you are uncertain whether accessing gambling affiliate content is lawful where you live, please check independently before proceeding.
// Keeping This Current
We update this disclosure as our partnerships or applicable standards change. The version published here at any given moment is the current one.
// Contact
Any question about our affiliate relationships, or concern that content here misrepresents a casino’s actual practices, can be raised through the contact form on this Site. We investigate this kind of feedback substantively.
