Affiliate Disclosure

Full transparency about how this site is funded.

OnlinePokerStrategy.com is free to read because it is reader-supported through affiliate partnerships. This page explains exactly what that means.

What is an affiliate link?

Some of the links on this site are affiliate (tracking) links. If you click one and then sign up, deposit, or make a purchase, we may receive a commission. This costs you nothing extra — the price you pay is the same whether you use our link or not.

Poker room partnerships

We have, or may have, affiliate relationships with online poker rooms featured on this site, including those listed on our best online poker sites page and in our individual reviews. When you join a room through our link, we may earn a referral commission or a share of the rake you generate.

Book links to Amazon

The book recommendations on our poker books pages link to Amazon purely for your convenience. These are not affiliate links — we are not currently part of the Amazon Associates program for this site, and we do not earn anything when you buy a book through them. We recommend those titles solely because we believe they make players better.

Our editorial independence

Affiliate commissions never determine our opinions, rankings or recommendations. We rank poker sites on game quality, traffic, rakeback, trust and software — not on who pays the most. We recommend books we genuinely believe make players better. If a partnership ever conflicted with giving you honest information, we'd choose honesty.

Why we use affiliate links

Affiliate revenue lets us keep every guide and tool on this site free, with no paywalls and minimal advertising. If you find our content useful, using our links is a free way to support the work.
