At Reliefbeds (reliefbeds.co.za), we believe that every visitor to our site deserves complete honesty about how we operate and how we generate revenue. This Affiliate Disclosure page exists to explain, clearly and without ambiguity, the commercial relationships we maintain and how those relationships do — and do not — influence the content you read on this website.
An affiliate relationship is a commercial arrangement between a content publisher — in this case, Reliefbeds — and an online casino operator or gambling platform. When we include a link to a casino, sportsbook, or related gambling service on this website, that link may be a tracked affiliate link. This means that if you click the link and subsequently register an account, make a deposit, or complete another qualifying action on that platform, Reliefbeds may receive a commission or referral fee from the operator at no additional cost to you.
This is a standard and widely accepted practice across online publishing. It is how many review and recommendation websites — including this one — are able to fund their operations, produce detailed research, and keep content freely accessible to readers.
The existence of affiliate relationships does not influence the editorial content published on Reliefbeds. Dylan van der Merwe, the owner and primary author of this website, maintains strict editorial independence in all reviews, ratings, and recommendations. Operators are never able to purchase a positive review, alter written assessments, or influence star ratings in exchange for affiliate fees or any other form of compensation.
Casinos that perform poorly during our evaluation process are reviewed honestly, including negative findings. Reliefbeds will recommend an operator only when it genuinely meets our standards for player safety, licensing, fairness, and overall quality — regardless of the size of any potential commission.
Dylan van der Merwe evaluates each online casino against a consistent set of criteria developed specifically for the South African market. These criteria include:
No operator is able to bypass this methodology. All casinos featured on Reliefbeds are assessed using the same framework before any recommendation is made.
In accordance with the guidelines issued by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regarding endorsements and testimonials, Reliefbeds clearly discloses all material connections between this website and the operators featured in our content. Wherever affiliate links appear on this site, we endeavour to make that relationship known to our readers in a clear and conspicuous manner.
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships, our review process, or how we maintain editorial independence, you are welcome to contact Dylan van der Merwe directly through the contact page on reliefbeds.co.za. We are committed to answering your questions honestly and promptly.
