4. Third-Party Links and Affiliate Disclosure

4.1 Affiliate Relationships

BeyondSome is an affiliate marketing website. When you click links to casino operators on our site and sign up, we may earn a commission. This commission does not affect your experience or cost—you pay the same amount you would if you visited the casino directly.

Important: Our affiliate relationships do not influence our reviews or rankings. We exclusively recommend casinos with 0x wagering bonuses that meet our strict testing criteria, regardless of commission rates.

4.2 Third-Party Websites

Our website contains links to third-party casino operators and responsible gambling resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites. When you click a link to a third-party website:

• You are subject to that site's privacy policy, not ours
• The casino operator may collect your personal information during registration
• We receive tracking information about your click (e.g., timestamp, IP address) but not your casino account details

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of all casino operators before providing personal information.
