Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: January 2026

Blackandwinebar.com is committed to transparency and honesty with our readers. This page explains our affiliate relationships, how we earn commissions, and how these relationships do not compromise the integrity of our reviews and recommendations.

What is an Affiliate Relationship?

Blackandwinebar.com participates in affiliate marketing programs with various online gambling operators, including 1win and other casino platforms. When you click on affiliate links on our website and complete qualifying actions (such as signing up for an account or making a deposit), we may earn a commission from the operator. This commission is paid by the gambling operator, not by you as the reader.

It is important to understand that you will not pay any additional fees or higher prices because you accessed an operator through our affiliate links. Your cost remains exactly the same whether you visit directly or through our website.

How Affiliate Links Work

Affiliate links are special URLs that track referrals from our website to partner operators. These links allow gambling operators to know that you came from Blackandwinebar.com. If you complete a qualifying action, the operator credits our account with a commission. This arrangement benefits all parties:

Editorial Independence and Objectivity

Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial decisions or compromise our independence. James Wilson, the founder and primary reviewer at Blackandwinebar.com, maintains strict objectivity in all reviews and recommendations regardless of commission structures. We evaluate each gambling operator based on merit, and our recommendations reflect genuine assessment rather than profit potential.

In fact, we sometimes recommend operators that offer lower commission rates because they genuinely provide superior value to players. Conversely, we may decline to promote certain operators despite lucrative commission offers if they do not meet our quality standards or if we have concerns about their practices.
