How we make money
Tips is a free resource. We earn revenue through affiliate partnerships with licensed South African betting operators. When you click a link to an operator's site and open an account, we may receive a commission at no extra cost to you.
What this means for you
Affiliate commissions fund the editorial team, server costs, and ongoing research that keeps this site running. They never influence our ratings, rankings, or recommendations. Every operator listed on Tips holds a provincial gambling board licence verified by our team.
Featured placement
Three operators (TicTacBets, 10bet, and Easybet) have paid featured placement arrangements with Tips. These operators may appear in promoted positions on certain pages. Featured placement is always disclosed where it occurs, and it does not alter the editorial scores assigned through our independent review process.
How we maintain independence
- Editorial scores are calculated using a weighted formula applied consistently to every operator.
- No operator can pay to improve their rating.
- Reviews are based on first-hand testing: real deposits, real withdrawals, real support interactions.
- Our editorial policy prohibits operators from reviewing or approving content before publication.
- If we discover inaccuracies, we publish corrections on our complaints and corrections page.
Affiliate links
Links to operator websites on Tips are marked with rel="sponsored" in the HTML. This tells search engines that the link is a commercial relationship. We use direct links to operator homepages or sign-up pages. We do not use cloaked redirects or misleading anchor text.
