Bitcoin.com is committed to providing our users with the most comprehensive tools, services, and educational resources in the cryptocurrency industry. To support our mission of global economic freedom, Bitcoin.com receives compensation through affiliate relationships and commercial partnerships.
1. What is an Affiliate Relationship?
When you click on certain links on www.bitcoin.com and take a specific action—such as signing up for an exchange, creating a gaming account, or purchasing a hardware wallet—Bitcoin.com may earn a commission or referral fee from that provider.
Importantly, this comes at no additional cost to you. In many instances, our affiliate partnerships allow us to provide you with exclusive bonuses or promotional offers not available through direct sign-ups.
2. Commercial Ranking Methodology (Non-Organic Rankings)
It is important for our users to understand how our directories and listing pages are structured.
Directory and listing pages on Bitcoin.com are not ranked organically based solely on editorial preference. The order in which partners appear is primarily determined by commercial agreements. Specifically:
- Fixed Positioning Fees: In many sections, such as iGaming and Gambling, partners pay a specific listing fee to guarantee a high-visibility position within our tables or directories.
- Revenue Sharing: In addition to listing fees, Bitcoin.com generally receives a percentage of revenue generated from users who register via our referral links.
3. Disclosure by Category
We apply these commercial models across the following primary sections:
- Crypto Gambling and Casinos: Rankings are determined by commercial placement fees and revenue-share agreements. While we only feature platforms that meet our stringent security standards, the "Top" or "Featured" positions are paid placements.
- Cryptocurrency Exchanges: Our exchange directories use a combination of placement and referral fee models to determine listing order.
- Crypto Cards: We may receive placement fees and/or compensation for every successful card application or activation initiated through our site.
- Bitcoin Wallet: We may earn commissions on hardware sales.
- Conferences: We may receive commissions on ticket sales and event sponsorships generated through our referral links.
4. Editorial Integrity vs. Commercial Listings
While the positioning of a partner is commercially driven, the content of our reviews remains objective. Our editorial team conducts independent testing to ensure the data (fees, supported coins, withdrawal speeds) is accurate.
If a partner pays for a top spot but provides a poor user experience, we reserve the right to include critical feedback in our reviews to ensure our users remain informed of potential risks.
5. User Responsibility & Risk Warning
Cryptocurrencies and online gaming involve significant financial risk.
- Verify Details: Offers, bonus terms, and T&Cs change rapidly. Always verify the terms directly on the partner’s site.
- No Endorsement: Paid placement does not constitute a legal endorsement of a platform’s future performance or absolute safety.
- Not Financial Advice: All content is for informational purposes only.
