Affiliate disclosure.

We always want to be honest with you about everything, including how we make money.

Some of the brands we link to on the site are affiliate partners. When that’s the case, we tell you. No fine print, no hiding it.

This page lays out how it works.

Our focus is the content.

Our job is simple: give you the best blackjack content we can.

That’s the strategy guides, the simulator, the trainer, the casino reviews, and the news that actually matters. Built for whoever’s reading, whether you discovered the game last week or you’ve been counting cards since the 90s.

If something on the site doesn’t help a reader play smarter, we don’t ship it.

How affiliate links keep the lights on.

A blackjack site costs money to run. Hosting, designers, writers, the live tables we sit at to test the games. Those bills don’t pay themselves.

Affiliate links are how we cover them. When you click one of our links and sign up at a casino, the casino pays us a fee for sending you their way.

You don’t pay a cent extra. The price is the same as walking up to the casino directly.

They never influence what we write.

This is the part you actually need to know.

Affiliate money never moves a ranking, never softens a review, never edits a take. If a casino on our list freezes accounts when players win big, we’ll write that. If a partner’s payout is slow, we’ll say so. If a “bonus” has a wagering trap baked into the fine print, we’ll flag it.

We’ve walked away from offers that pay better when the casino’s blackjack wasn’t up to standard. Money matters less than your trust. It’s like a barber. If they only tell you what you want to hear, you don’t go back. Same idea here.

If you ever think we’re slipping, tell us. Send a note through the contact page. We’ll either fix it or explain why we don’t agree.

Every affiliate link is labeled.

Every affiliate link on Blackjack Duck is labeled. You’ll always know when you’re clicking into a paid partnership and when you’re clicking into something purely editorial.

A few examples of what’s never an affiliate link:

  • Internal links to our own pages
  • Helpline links on the responsible-gambling page
  • Citations to research, regulators, Wikipedia, or casino rule pages

If it’s there to help you, not to earn us a commission, you have our word it stays that way.

What we promise you.

Here’s the deal we hold ourselves to:

  • We rank casinos on what they’re actually like to play at, not who paid us the most
  • Every affiliate link is clearly marked
  • Every review names the bad parts alongside the good
  • No fake user reviews, no fake ratings, no fake “editor’s choice” badges
  • If we recommend a casino, it means we’d send a friend there

If something on the site doesn’t line up with this, let us know and we’ll look at it.

Run a casino, a tool, or a product blackjack players would care about? Reach out through the contact form. We’ll take a look.

A few ground rules so we don’t waste anyone’s time:

  • We only work with brands we’d recommend without a commission attached
  • The blackjack offering has to clear our editorial bar
  • The casino has to pay players when they win
  • The bonus terms have to be honest

If all that checks out, let’s talk.

Common questions.

Does clicking an affiliate link cost me anything?

No. The price is the same as going to the casino directly.

Why disclose at all?

Because we want to build a community and brand based on honesty, transparency and trust.

Who decides which casinos appear on the site?

Our editorial team. See the editorial policy for the full criteria.

Blackjack should be fun.
If it’s not, we can help.
