Partnership & Affiliate Transparency
GambleChief.com exists to help players make informed choices about online casinos, slots and bonus offers. For Indian players, that also means understanding practical details such as INR deposits, popular local payment options and how withdrawal rules work.
Trust is the foundation of our site. That’s why we explain clearly how we earn money, what affiliate links mean, and why our commercial relationships do not control our ratings or editorial opinions.
How We Operate
| What we do | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Affiliate links – Some links on GambleChief.com are affiliate links. If you click one, sign up with the operator and later make a deposit or play, we may earn a commission from that brand. | Affiliate income helps us keep the website free, test casino sites, update reviews and publish guides for Indian players without charging readers. |
| Independent testing – We review casino sites using our published methodology before any commercial relationship is considered. | Star ratings and verdicts are based on player-focused factors such as safety, licence credibility, games, bonus fairness, banking options (including INR/UPI where relevant), withdrawal reliability and support quality — not on how much a brand might pay us. |
| Clear disclosures – Pages that include monetised links show a short note so you know when a click could benefit us financially. | You can decide whether to use our link or find the operator on your own. Using an affiliate link does not normally change the price or bonus you receive. |
| No paid rankings – We do not accept payments to boost a casino’s position, improve a rating or remove negative information. | This is essential for keeping reviews credible and useful, especially in a market where players may see aggressive advertising and unclear bonus terms. |
Why We Choose Certain Casinos
We partner only with brands that meet our compliance and quality checklist. While availability can differ by region, we typically look for:
- Licensing & accountability – We prioritise operators licensed by recognised regulators and with transparent ownership details.
- Security & fair-play measures – SSL encryption, clear privacy practices, responsible gambling tools and evidence of fair game testing (RNG certificates/audits where available).
- Transparent payments – Clear deposit/withdrawal rules, reasonable limits and realistic processing times. For India, we pay extra attention to INR support and local options like UPI where offered.
- Bonus terms that are readable – Wagering requirements, max bet rules, expiry dates and withdrawal limits should be clearly stated and not designed to mislead.
- Track record – We avoid operators with repeated unresolved complaints, suspicious terms, or patterns of delayed withdrawals.
If an operator stops meeting these standards, we may downgrade the rating, remove it from recommendations and end the partnership.
Our Commitments
- Transparency – You will know when a link may earn us a commission.
- Objectivity – Affiliate income does not decide our ratings, rankings or review outcomes.
- Responsible gambling – We promote safer play and encourage limits, breaks and self-exclusion where needed.
- Accuracy – We update key details when brands change bonuses, banking methods or terms.
- Respect for users – We aim to explain complicated terms (like wagering and KYC) in simple language so Indian players can understand what they are agreeing to.
Important Notes for Indian Players
Local rules can differ by state. Online gambling laws in India may vary depending on where you live. Always check the rules in your state before playing for real money. GambleChief provides informational content only and does not offer legal advice.
KYC and withdrawals. Many casino sites require identity verification (KYC) before approving withdrawals. Always read the casino’s Terms & Conditions and verify withdrawal limits, processing times and document requirements before depositing.
Your Part in Staying Informed
Bonuses, wagering rules, payment availability and withdrawal limits can change without notice. Before you deposit, read the operator’s Terms & Conditions, confirm which payment methods are available for Indian players (for example INR deposits or UPI where supported), and make sure you understand the rules for withdrawals.
