Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: January 2026

This page explains how Barfud (barfud.cz) generates revenue through affiliate relationships and confirms our commitment to editorial independence and honest reviews.

What This Website Does

Barfud is an independent casino review and recommendation platform operated by Laura Müller. We provide detailed, research-based reviews of online casinos, poker rooms, sports betting platforms, and other gambling operators. Our mission is to help players in the Czech Republic make informed decisions about where to play.

How We Earn Money

Barfud uses affiliate marketing as its primary revenue model. This means:

We include links to casino operators and gambling platforms reviewed on our website
When you click an affiliate link and sign up or make a deposit, we may earn a commission from that operator
This commission is paid by the operator, not by you—it does not increase the cost of your account or play
You pay the same price whether you arrive through our link or visit directly

We maintain affiliate relationships with multiple operators, which helps fund our ongoing review work, website maintenance, and research activities.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are unique URLs that track referrals. When you click a link on Barfud and sign up with that operator, the operator knows you came from our website and credits Barfud with a referral. The link typically contains a unique tracking parameter or code.

Important: Affiliate links do not cost you anything extra. They are simply a way for operators to reward websites that refer new customers to them.

Transparency About Our Relationships

We are transparent about our affiliate partnerships. Every operator link on Barfud is clearly marked or identified. We do not hide our financial relationships because honesty is fundamental to our credibility.

However, our affiliate relationships do not compromise our editorial independence. Here's why:

Independent Reviews: Laura Müller conducts thorough, unbiased reviews based on objective criteria—game selection, security, customer service, bonuses, licensing, and user experience
Negative Reviews Published: We publish honest critical reviews, even of operators we have affiliate relationships with, if they do not meet our standards
No Pay-for-Placement: We do not rank casinos higher simply because they pay higher commissions
Consistent Methodology: Every casino is evaluated using the same rigorous framework, regardless of affiliate status

Our Review Methodology

Laura Müller's reviews are based on comprehensive research including:

Verification of gaming licenses and regulatory compliance
