What Are Affiliate Links?
An affiliate link is a tracked hyperlink that tells a casino or online service which website sent a visitor to them. When you click a casino link on Chicken Subway Casino and subsequently create an account, the casino's tracking system records that the referral came from us. If you make a qualifying deposit, we receive a commission payment from the casino — paid by the operator, not by you.
This is a standard and legal business model used by many online casino review sites, comparison platforms, and iGaming publications. Affiliate marketing helps maintain this site — including research, writing, technical upkeep, and ongoing page checks — without charging readers directly. You should not pay more for a deposit, bonus, or withdrawal because you arrived via an affiliate link; always confirm the final terms on the casino site.
Affiliate links are commonplace across the internet. When a product review site links to Amazon, when a travel blog links to Booking.com, or when a tech publication links to a software product — those are all affiliate relationships. The iGaming review industry operates on the same principle. What matters, and what separates trustworthy sites from promotional ones, is whether the affiliate relationship influences editorial decisions. On this site, it does not. That commitment is explained in detail below.
On Chicken Subway Casino, you can identify affiliate links by two characteristics: they contain /go in the URL path (all casino outbound links route through our /go redirect), and they carry rel="nofollow noopener" HTML attributes, which signal to search engines that these are commercial links and open in new browser tabs so you always know when you are leaving our domain.
How We Use Affiliate Links on This Site
Every outbound casino link on Chicken Subway Casino — whether in a review, a comparison table, a bonus listing, or a "Play Now" button — routes through our /go redirect. This means:
- All casino traffic from this site is tracked via affiliate systems operated by the respective casino partners.
- When a reader clicks through and registers a new account at a partner casino, we may receive a commission based on the terms of that specific affiliate programme.
- Commission structures vary by partner. Some casinos pay a flat fee per referred player; others pay a revenue share percentage of the player's net gaming revenue over time. We do not disclose specific commission rates as these are covered by confidentiality clauses in affiliate agreements — but we can confirm the structure exists and that it is financially meaningful to this site's operation.
- We do not receive commissions on players' losses, deposits, or gameplay beyond the agreed affiliate programme terms. We are not the casino and we do not take any portion of your bets.
Links within purely informational content — game mechanic explanations, RTP methodology discussions, responsible gaming resources, and strategy analysis that does not recommend a specific casino — are not necessarily affiliate links. When we link to third-party organisations such as BeGambleAware or GamCare, those are non-commercial links with no financial relationship.
How Affiliate Relationships Do NOT Influence Our Reviews
This is the section that matters most. The affiliate model only has value to readers if the editorial output is honest and independent. Here is our explicit commitment to that independence:
Recommendation language is not for sale. Casino comparisons should use a consistent review frame that covers licensing information, withdrawal rules, bonus term fairness, customer support access, mobile compatibility, and the quality of the Chicken Subway game experience on that platform. Commission rates and affiliate programme terms should play no part in that framework.
We include negatives, not just positives. Casino pages should document weaknesses that matter to players: excessive wagering requirements, unclear bonus restrictions, withdrawal limits, KYC delays, missing support paths, and regional availability issues. Recommendation language should be reduced when the visible terms create risk.
We have declined affiliate partnerships. There are casinos we have reviewed negatively or chosen not to feature because they failed our editorial standards, despite those operators approaching us with affiliate deals. Turning down revenue is never comfortable, but maintaining the trust of our readers is worth more to this site's long-term value than any individual commission cheque. We do not list casinos we cannot recommend in good conscience.
Our review methodology is independent and terms-based. Casino pages are reviewed against visible rules, cashier terms, bonus conditions, withdrawal notes, and responsible-gaming information where available. No casino has editorial input, review preview access, or the ability to request changes to published content.
We are not influenced by which casino pays more. Ranking and comparison language should follow visible player terms first: bonus clarity, game availability, payment rules, withdrawal limits, responsible-gaming tools, and support access. Higher commission should not override those checks.
Our Review Methodology
Because affiliate relationships raise a legitimate question about objectivity, the site uses a visible-terms review process. The following checks apply to casino evaluation pages:
Account and Terms Review
Each casino page should review the account flow, KYC requirements, visible bonus terms, cashier rules, supported payment methods, and country restrictions. Claims that depend on operator-specific screens should be written cautiously and checked against the current casino interface before paid play.
Withdrawal Rule Review
Withdrawal performance is one of the most important player-risk areas. Pages should document the withdrawal rules that are visible before deposit: KYC timing, withdrawal limits, payment-method restrictions, pending periods, bonus-related caps, and support paths for payment disputes.
Bonus Term Analysis
We read the full terms and conditions for every bonus we feature — not just the headline offer. We calculate the actual expected value of each bonus after applying wagering requirements, game restrictions, maximum bet limits, and expiry conditions. We present these calculations clearly so readers can evaluate bonus offers on their real merits rather than the promotional numbers operators lead with.
Fairness and RTP References
For games that claim provably fair verification — including Chicken Subway on some operator platforms — pages should explain where the player can find the current fairness panel and why the RTP reference still needs to be confirmed inside the game or operator rules.
Regular Re-evaluation
Affiliate relationships are ongoing, and so is our evaluation process. We re-evaluate every recommended casino on at least a quarterly basis. If a casino we previously recommended changes its withdrawal terms, introduces problematic bonus conditions, or generates a pattern of unresolved player complaints, we update our review and adjust our recommendation accordingly — even if that casino remains an active affiliate partner.
Our Current Affiliate Partners
In the interest of complete transparency, we list below all casino operators with whom Chicken Subway Casino currently maintains an affiliate relationship. This list is updated whenever a new partnership is established or an existing one ends.
- 1Win Casino — Operator listed for Chicken Subway availability and welcome-bonus checks.
- Fresh Casino — Operator listed for Chicken Subway availability, bonus terms, and mobile access checks.
- LuckyStar Casino — Operator listed for Chicken Subway availability and cashback-term checks.
- PIN-UP Casino — Operator listed for Chicken Subway availability and bonus-term checks.
- Drip Casino — Operator listed for Chicken Subway availability and wagering-term checks.
Casino mentions should remain tied to review criteria, not simply to affiliate availability. If a partner casino fails the standards described on this site, the relevant review should be updated to reflect that and the recommendation language should be reduced or removed, regardless of the affiliate relationship.
We are open to evaluating and potentially partnering with additional casinos that offer Chicken Subway and meet our editorial standards. However, the evaluation happens first, independently of any commercial discussion.
FTC Compliance and Disclosure Standards
This affiliate disclosure is published in compliance with the United States Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), which require clear and conspicuous disclosure of material connections between content publishers and commercial partners when those connections might influence the weight readers give to a recommendation.
We consider affiliate relationships to be a material connection and disclose them accordingly. This disclosure appears on its own dedicated page at https://chickensubwaycasino.com/affiliate-disclosure, is linked from the footer of every page on this site, and is referenced within the body content of pages where affiliate links appear — particularly on the bonuses page and casino comparison sections.
In addition to FTC guidelines, we follow the disclosure standards recommended by the UK's Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) and the guidelines published by the Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP), both of which apply to digital content that UK-based consumers may encounter. Our disclosure practices are designed to meet or exceed the requirements of both regulatory frameworks.
We are committed to updating this disclosure promptly whenever the nature of our affiliate relationships changes materially — whether through the addition of new partners, the termination of existing ones, or changes to the commission structures we receive.
Our Commitment to Honest Reviews
Publishing affiliate links alongside honest editorial content creates an inherent tension that we acknowledge directly rather than pretend does not exist. The way we manage that tension is through discipline in our review process and accountability to our readers.
Every review on this site should include both pros and cons. This is not a stylistic choice — it is a deliberate editorial policy. A review that only lists positives is not a review; it is marketing copy. If a casino has a slow withdrawal rule, unclear KYC process, or a bonus with restrictive wagering, the page should explain that clearly.
We do not allow casino partners to review, approve, or comment on our content before publication. No partner has preview access to reviews in progress. No partner has the ability to request changes to published content. If an operator disagrees with our assessment, we are happy to review new evidence — but the editorial decision rests with our team alone.
Affiliate revenue should not determine review scores, ranking order, warning language, or whether a page explains risk. If a casino term changes, the page should follow the current term and reader safety first, even when that makes an affiliate link less attractive.
If you ever believe that a review on this site has been influenced by an affiliate relationship — or if you have evidence that contradicts a page claim — we want to hear from you. Write to [email protected] with specific details. We take editorial integrity challenges seriously and will investigate credible concerns.
Affiliate Partnership Inquiries
If you represent a casino operator that offers Chicken Subway and you are interested in exploring an affiliate relationship with Chicken Subway Casino, we welcome your inquiry. Please note that any potential partnership begins with our independent editorial evaluation of your platform — we do not accept payment to feature casinos, and commercial discussions follow rather than precede editorial assessment.
For affiliate partnership inquiries, please contact us at [email protected] with the following information: your casino's name and URL, your current licensing jurisdiction and licence number, whether you offer Chicken Subway by SmartSoft Gaming, and the affiliate programme terms you are proposing (or a link to your affiliate programme page).
We aim to respond to all partnership inquiries within 48 hours. If an evaluation determines that your platform meets the site's editorial standards, a formal review period may follow before any affiliate relationship is considered. If it does not, we will explain the reason clearly.
