What we earn, and when
Commission is earned when a reader follows an operator link from Floath, registers an account and funds it. Most arrangements are revenue share — a percentage of the operator's net revenue from that account, paid monthly. Some are a fixed fee per funded account. A few operator records have no commercial arrangement recorded at all.
Rates differ between operators, and we do not publish the rate for each brand: those terms are commercially confidential and, more to the point, publishing them would imply the rate is something a reader needs in order to interpret a ranking. It is not, because the ranking cannot see it — but you are entitled to know that a difference exists, so it is stated here rather than left to be discovered.
What commission cannot do here
These are properties of the data model rather than promises about behaviour, which is the only kind of assurance worth reading on a page like this one.
- It cannot change a score. The scoring function takes category scores and weights and nothing else — there is no argument through which a commercial value could reach it.
- It cannot change an order. Default ordering everywhere is by score; the alternatives are reader-controlled sorts on popularity, bonus value, minimum deposit and launch year.
- It cannot buy a position, because no position field exists. A casino record has no placement, priority, sponsorship or featured attribute to set.
- It cannot create a page. Curated comparison pages are generated by filtering the same operator set on stated criteria, so nothing can be added to one by arrangement.
- It cannot suppress a drawback. Every review carries a cons list, and the low-scoring records in the current set exist precisely so the platform does not read as though everything is excellent.
What it can do — the parts we are not claiming
A comparison site funded by the industry it compares has a structural conflict, and describing it as fully solved would be the least trustworthy sentence on this page. The honest limits:
- The people who set category scores are paid from affiliate revenue. No architecture removes that; it can only be made visible.
- Which operators get onto the platform at all is partly commercial — a brand with an accessible affiliate programme is easier to add than one without. Coverage is a softer thing than ranking, and it is the place where the conflict actually bites.
- Nobody independent has audited the score model, the weights or the category scores. There is no certification behind any of this.
- Scores are set by people reading terms and using products, so they contain judgement. Two reasonable analysts would not produce identical numbers.
The mitigation is that the arithmetic is published rather than asserted. Every review shows all seven category scores, the weight each carries and the points each contributes, so if you think a score is generous you can see exactly which category is carrying it and discount that category yourself.
How the links behave
No operator button on Floath links straight to an operator. Every one points at an internal redirect that resolves the current destination at the moment you click it, which is why a changed programme URL is one edit rather than a hunt across hundreds of pages.
| Step | What happens | Why |
|---|---|---|
| You click an operator button | The request goes to a Floath redirect, not to the operator. | The destination can be corrected in one place when a programme changes it. |
| The destination is resolved | Offer-specific, then country-specific, then the default destination, then a backup. | So a reader on a market page lands on the offer that is actually available to them. |
| The click is recorded | Operator, destination host, the page you came from, campaign, country and device category. | Aggregate reporting and reconciliation. No name, email or account detail is involved. |
| You are forwarded | A temporary redirect that is marked no-index, no-cache and sends no referrer. | A programme URL can change at any time and must never be cached as permanent. |
If an operator has no live destination, the click lands on that operator's review page with the offer flagged as unavailable rather than on a dead end.
In the current demo set
Four destination records exist, one per brand, and every one is a live tracked link that was followed and confirmed on 18 September 2026. Floath may earn a commission when a reader opens an account through one. What it cannot do is move a brand up a list: there is no ranking on the site at present, because no brand carries a Floath Score. The order they appear in is a fixed featured order and is labelled as such.
What to do with this information
- Read the cons before the score. They are the part of a review that a commercially funded site has the least incentive to write.
- Check the category that matters to you rather than the overall figure. If you care about payout speed, the withdrawals score and the stated hours tell you more than a headline number weighted 25% towards safety.
- Verify the two figures that cost real money — the wagering multiplier and what it applies to, and the withdrawal processing time — on the operator's own terms page before you deposit. Terms change faster than any comparison site re-checks them.
- Treat the licence as the thing to confirm independently. The regulator's public register is the source; a badge in a site footer is not.
- Use more than one source. This page exists so you can weigh what you read here, not so you can stop weighing it.
