Advertising and Affiliate Disclosure
KasinoBonus is an independent entity that is dedicated to adhering to journalistic standards and integrity when it comes to providing independent and well-researched opinions.
The editorial team and the staff all align with the same research and writing guidelines that make sure that only the most truthful information are presented to the reader, without any outside influence, even when we are writing about someone that has paid us to do so.
Paid Reviews
In cases where a casino brand has decided to pay us for the work that we do on reviewing the brand, we will gladly do so and will accept compensation for our hard work, but our research and our findings will be what they are and the opinion that our reviewers form won’t be influenced by the financial aspect. In other words, a casino may pay us to write about them – but they can’t pay us to write good things.
This makes us very unlike most of our competitors – who’ll gladly review – and promote – shady casinos, even if they have a habit of not playing their players, or treating customers unfairly. KasinoBonus only ever recommends the best real money online casinos.
How We Evaluate Casinos
We believe in showing our work. Every review you read on KasinoBonus is the result of a structured, no-nonsense evaluation process that ensures consistency, fairness, and accuracy. Whether a casino has partnered with us or not, every brand goes through the same rigorous checklist before we recommend (or reject) it. Here’s what that looks like:
- Real-money testing – We deposit our own money to see how the site really works – which allows us to review online casinos unlike almost any other casino review website.
- Fine-print analysis – We break down terms & conditions to catch hidden traps and let you see exactly what to expect when playing at a site for yourself.
- Ownership background check – We look at who’s running the casino and their reputation – checking that if they’ve operated in the past, they haven’t screwed their players.
- Player feedback – We take into account what other players are saying – and always browse the web to see what real players have to say.
- Customer support test – We assess how fast, helpful, and honest support actually is – and put tough questions to them to ensure that if you run into issues, you’ll be treated fairly – and like a real, paying customer.
- Withdrawal testing – We request real withdrawals to check for delays or blockages – and give you our honest, unfiltered feedback, so you know exactly what to expect when playing for yourself.
This ensures that all reviews are fact-based, repeatable, and immune to financial influence—even when the casino is a paying partner.
Paid Partnerships
In cases where a casino brand is incentivising us financially in any way through a partnership deal with KasinoBonus, the details of the deal are discussed with each casino separately. We may receive financial compensation for various aspects of the partnership.
However, what’s important here is that the situation for the reader, which is you, the Finnish gambler, doesn’t change in any way based on what casinos we have partnered with. You will always get the same correct information about each casino, the review will always be truthful and based on facts, and the details of the deal won’t affect the bonuses or anything else that you get from the casino. Our deal with the casino won’t be at any cost to you.
Editorial Independence: Why It Matters
It’s easy to claim integrity. It’s harder to prove it. At KasinoBonus, we don’t hide the fact that we get paid for some of the work we do. However, we do make sure that our readers – you – never suffer as a result of it. Unlike many other gambling sites that quietly adjust reviews or rankings based on how much a brand pays, we don’t operate that way.
Our founder Matti has built his reputation on putting Finnish players first, even when it means losing money. We’ve blacklisted paying partners, issued warnings about advertised brands, and refused to promote popular casinos that didn’t meet our standards.
When you read a review here, you can be confident that you’re reading about the reality of a site – not simply fluff or positive words because we’ve been paid to list their review on our website.
Conclusion
While we are being financially compensated for the partnerships that we strike with the casinos, we draw the line and don’t let the Finnish player to be positively or negatively impacted by our deals.
This is a much sterner stance than any other Finnish casino review website.
KasinoBonus, uniquely, does not let money dictate which casino is promoted better or which casino is written about in a better way. We take the money – but we don’t let casinos take our freedom of speech.
We’ve had cases before where a casino paid us to do a review, and it turned out to be an awful review that warned Finnish people to not play there. That’s Matti and his integrity for you. Finnish players are much more important to him than some money that the casino may give him.
