At Sneakercartel (sneakercartel.co.za), we believe that honesty and transparency are the foundation of trustworthy casino reviews. This page explains exactly how our website operates commercially and how that relationship affects — or more importantly, does not affect — the content you read here.
Please read this disclosure carefully before using any links or acting on any recommendations published on this website.
Sneakercartel participates in affiliate marketing programmes operated by licensed online casinos and gambling operators. This means that some of the links you find on this website are affiliate links — special tracked URLs that identify Sneakercartel as the referring source.
When you click one of these links and subsequently register an account or make a qualifying deposit with an online casino, Sneakercartel may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator. This payment comes entirely from the operator at no additional cost to you. You will never pay more by using our links.
Not every link on this website is an affiliate link. We also reference casinos, regulators, and resources for informational purposes without any commercial arrangement in place.
The existence of affiliate relationships does not influence the content, ratings, or recommendations published on Sneakercartel. All casino reviews, rankings, and editorial opinions are written and maintained with full independence.
Casinos are not able to purchase positive reviews, alter scores, or request the removal of negative feedback. An operator having an active affiliate agreement with Sneakercartel carries no weight in determining how that operator is rated or ranked. If a casino performs poorly across our evaluation criteria, it will be rated accordingly — regardless of any commercial relationship.
Ruan van der Merwe is the owner, author, and lead reviewer at Sneakercartel. Ruan brings hands-on experience evaluating online casinos for the South African market, with a focus on player safety, licensing legitimacy, payment reliability, and overall user experience.
Every review published on this site reflects Ruan's genuine, independent assessment. Ruan personally tests platforms, evaluates bonus terms, verifies licensing credentials, and analyses withdrawal processes before publishing any recommendation. No affiliate payment influences these findings.
To maintain credibility and consistency, every casino reviewed on Sneakercartel is evaluated against the same objective criteria, including:
Scores and recommendations are updated regularly to reflect any changes in operator performance or terms.
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the guidelines set out by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) under 16 CFR Part 255, which requires clear and conspicuous disclosure of material connections between publishers and the brands they recommend. Sneakercartel is committed to full compliance with these standards.
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships, review process, or editorial policies, you are welcome to contact Ruan van der Merwe directly through the contact page at sneakercartel.co.za. We are happy to provide further clarification.
