Our Commitment to Transparency

At BitDeals, we believe in complete honesty with our users. This page explains how we make money and how our affiliate relationships work.

 

How BitDeals Makes Money

​

Affiliate Commissions

​

BitDeals participates in affiliate marketing programs with various companies. Here's what that means:

When you click on certain links on our site and make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may earn a commission from that company. This commission comes at no additional cost to you — you pay the same price whether you use our link or go directly to the merchant's website.

​

Types of Affiliate Programs We Participate In

​

We work with companies in several categories:

1. Cryptocurrency Exchanges (Binance, Kraken, Coinbase, etc.)

   • Commission when you sign up and trade

   • Ongoing commissions on trading fees in some cases

2. Hardware Wallets (Ledger, Trezor, etc.)

   • Commission on product purchases

   • Typically 5-15% of sale price

3. Software & SaaS (Notion, Canva, etc.)

   • Commission on subscriptions

   • One-time or recurring commissions

4. VPN Services (ExpressVPN, NordVPN, etc.)

   • Commission on subscription signups

5. E-commerce Platforms (Amazon Associates, etc.)

   • Small commission on product purchases

   • Typically 1-10% depending on product category

6. Tech Products & Gadgets

   • Commissions on various tech purchases

 

What This Means for You

​

You Don't Pay Extra

Important: Using our affiliate links does NOT increase your cost. The price you pay is exactly the same as if you went directly to the merchant's website. The commission comes from the merchant's marketing budget, not from your pocket.

​

Example:

1. Direct Purchase: Hardware wallet costs $100

2. Through BitDeals: Hardware wallet still costs $100 (we earn $10 commission from the merchant)

​

No Impact on Deal Quality

Our affiliate relationships do NOT influence:

1. Which deals we feature

2. How we rank or recommend products

3. The accuracy of our information

4. Our honest reviews and comparisons

We curate deals based on genuine value to our users, not commission rates.

 

Our Editorial Independence

​

How We Choose Deals

​

We select deals based on:

​

1. Genuine Value — Significant savings or benefits for users

2. Product Quality — Reputable brands and services

3. User Demand — Popular products in crypto and tech

4. Verification — We verify deals are legitimate and active

​

We do NOT choose deals based solely on commission potential.

​

Honest Reviews

​

When we write reviews or comparisons:

1. We highlight both pros and cons

2. We disclose any limitations or concerns

3. We recommend alternatives when appropriate

4. We prioritize user benefit over commission earnings

​

No Pay-to-Play

​

Companies cannot pay us to feature their deals more prominently or to receive favorable coverage. All placements are based on editorial merit.
