At Hip My Soul (whip-my-soul.site), we believe you deserve to know exactly how this website works. Some of the links you find on our candy casino reviews and recommendations pages are affiliate links. That means if you click through and sign up or play at an operator we recommend, we may earn a commission from that operator. This never adds any cost to you — you pay exactly the same as you would if you visited the casino directly. We want to be upfront about this so you can read our reviews with full confidence in where we stand.
What Affiliate Links Are
An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that tells an online casino that a visitor arrived via whip-my-soul.site. When you click one, a small tracking cookie is stored in your browser so the casino can attribute your visit to us. This is a standard practice across the online publishing industry and is completely legal and safe for you as a user. The link itself does not collect your personal data, modify the casino's website, or change any terms, bonuses, or odds you receive.
How We Earn
Depending on the partnership arrangement we hold with a given operator, Hip My Soul may receive a one-time referral fee, a revenue-share percentage, or a combination of both. The table below outlines the most common scenarios and — most importantly — what each one costs you.
| Action | Who Pays | Cost to You |
|---|---|---|
| You click a review link on whip-my-soul.site | No payment triggered yet | None — AU$0 |
| You create a free account at the casino | The casino pays Hip My Soul a referral fee | None — AU$0 |
| You deposit and play real money | The casino shares a small portion of its margin with Hip My Soul | None — AU$0 |
| You claim a welcome bonus | The casino may pay a one-time commission | None — AU$0 |
How This Affects Our Reviews
The short answer is: it doesn't — and here's why you can trust that. Rankings on Hip My Soul are not for sale. No operator can pay to appear higher in our lists, receive a better score, or have negative findings removed from a review. We have turned down partnership requests from operators that did not meet our standards, which means you will find casinos on whip-my-soul.site only because they earned their place through our assessment process. Our editorial team operates independently from our commercial partnerships, and those two functions are kept deliberately separate.
Our Review Methodology
Every candy casino featured on Hip My Soul is evaluated against a consistent set of criteria before it appears on the site:

FTC & Regulatory Compliance
In accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, and consistent with Australian consumer transparency expectations, Hip My Soul discloses that material connections exist between this website and the casino operators it recommends. This disclosure is provided so that you, the reader, can weigh the information on whip-my-soul.site with full awareness of those relationships. Any operator reviewed here may have a commercial arrangement with us, and we will always clearly indicate sponsored content where applicable.
Your Choice
Using our affiliate links is entirely optional. You are always free to open a new browser tab, search for any casino we mention, and navigate there directly — you will receive the same games, the same bonuses, and the same experience. We hope the research and comparisons we provide at whip-my-soul.site save you time and help you make a more informed decision, but the choice of whether to use our links is always yours.
