The site discloses: 'If you place a bet at a sportsbook or online casino through one of our links, we may earn an affiliate commission.' This is the primary revenue driver, with the company comparing promotional offers and bonus codes for various operators.
2. Advertising and Sponsored Content: The site sells advertising placements and sponsored content to gaming operators and sportsbook brands. Promotional codes, operator reviews, and bonus comparison pages serve as native advertising vehicles for sports betting operators.
