At Cardvdgps (cardvdgps.co.za), we believe that every South African player deserves honest, straightforward information before choosing an online casino. As part of that commitment, we are fully transparent about how this website operates financially. This page explains the nature of our affiliate relationships, how they work, and why they do not influence the integrity of our reviews and recommendations.
An affiliate relationship is a commercial arrangement between a content publisher and a third-party business. When Cardvdgps includes a link to an online casino operator on this website, that link may be a tracked affiliate link. This means that if you click on the link and subsequently register an account or make a deposit at that casino, Cardvdgps may receive a financial commission from the operator.
This commission is paid entirely by the casino operator and comes at no additional cost to you as a player. The price you pay, the bonus you receive, and the terms and conditions offered to you are identical whether you arrive at the casino through our link or by typing the address directly into your browser.
When you click a casino link or a call-to-action button on cardvdgps.co.za, a small tracking code embedded in the URL identifies that the referral originated from our website. The casino operator records this referral and, if the visit results in a qualifying action such as a registration or deposit, a commission is credited to Cardvdgps. This is a standard and widely used model across the online publishing industry and is fully compliant with applicable advertising guidelines.
No. Our editorial independence is absolute. The existence of an affiliate relationship with a casino operator does not determine whether that operator is reviewed positively, negatively, or recommended to our readers. Thabo Malan, the owner and lead reviewer of Cardvdgps, maintains a strict separation between commercial partnerships and editorial judgment.
We also list and review casinos that do not have active affiliate agreements with us. If a casino earns a strong recommendation on this site, it is because it genuinely meets our quality standards, not because of any financial arrangement.
Every casino reviewed on cardvdgps.co.za is evaluated against a consistent and rigorous set of criteria. Thabo Malan personally assesses each operator based on the following factors:
Thabo Malan is the founder and primary author of Cardvdgps.

In accordance with the guidelines set out by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and best practices for international affiliate publishing, Cardvdgps discloses all material connections between this website and third-party casino operators. Any page or article that contains affiliate links is subject to this disclosure policy.
