Affiliate Disclosure

What Is an Affiliate Disclosure?

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires websites to be transparent about financial relationships with the businesses they write about. This page fulfills that requirement by explaining exactly how Spooky Express earns revenue and how those relationships do, or more importantly do not, affect our content.

We take that responsibility seriously. You deserve to know how this site works before you act on anything we publish.

How Spooky Express Makes Money

Spooky Express is a free resource. To keep it running, we participate in affiliate marketing programs with licensed sportsbooks, online casinos, and poker rooms. When you click a link on our site and complete a qualifying action, such as creating an account or making a first deposit, the operator may pay us a commission.

No matter the commission model, the price you pay and the bonuses and terms you receive, are exactly the same as if you had navigated to the site directly.

How Affiliate Links and Tracking Work

Some links on Spooky Express contain a tracking code. When you click one of these links, the operator’s system records that you arrived via our site so they know to credit us with the referral. This process is entirely standard across the industry.

Tracking codes do not give us access to your personal information, your account balance, or any of your financial data at any stage. They exist solely to attribute the referral and have zero effect on your experience as a player.

If you would prefer not to use affiliate links, you are always free to visit any sportsbook, casino, or poker site directly by typing its address into your browser.

Our Editorial Independence

Commercial relationships do not determine what we write. Our reviews, rankings, betting previews, and picks are produced independently by our team based on research, analysis, and genuine experience with the operators and products we cover.

Operators cannot pay for positive coverage, alter our ratings, or remove negative findings from our reviews. If a sportsbook has slow payouts, poor customer service, or predatory bonus terms, we will say so, regardless of any financial arrangement.

We also decline to feature operators that we do not consider reputable. If we would not recommend a platform to a friend, it does not appear on Spooky Express.

What We Look for When We Review Operators

• Licensing and legal standing – We check that every operator holds a valid license from a recognized regulatory body.
• Payout reliability – We look at withdrawal speeds, available payment methods, and documented user experiences.
• Bonus fairness – We read the terms carefully. Rollover requirements, time limits, and game restrictions all factor into our assessments.
• Betting and gaming products – Odds quality, market depth, live betting, casino game variety, and software performance.
• Customer support – Availability, response times, and the quality of assistance provided.
• Security and privacy – SSL encryption, data handling practices, and industry-standard account protections.
• Responsible gaming tools – Deposit limits, self-exclusion options, and links to support resources.

Affiliate relationships never influence these assessments. An operator cannot improve its score by paying us more.
