Affiliate Disclosure
Sportbet Tanzania is an independently operated website that earns revenue through affiliate marketing partnerships with online bookmakers. This page explains exactly how that works, because we believe you deserve full transparency.
How Affiliate Links Work
Throughout our site, you'll find links to bookmaker websites. Some of these are affiliate links. When you click on an affiliate link and sign up with a bookmaker, we may receive a commission from that bookmaker. This is a standard practice in online publishing and is how most independent review sites fund their operations.
Here's what's important to understand:
- It costs you nothing. Clicking an affiliate link does not add any extra cost to you. You won't pay more for your deposits, receive worse odds, or be treated differently than someone who visited the bookmaker directly.
- We only earn if you choose to sign up. Simply visiting a bookmaker through our link doesn't generate revenue for us. You must voluntarily create an account and, in most cases, make a qualifying deposit.
- Commissions vary. Different bookmakers offer different commission structures. Some pay a one-time fee, others pay a percentage of revenue over time. The specific terms vary by partnership.
Editorial Independence
Our affiliate partnerships do not influence our editorial content. This is not just a claim — it's a principle we take seriously. Here's how we maintain independence:
- Reviews come first, partnerships second. We research and write our bookmaker reviews based on hands-on testing. If a bookmaker performs well, we may then explore an affiliate partnership with them. We never reverse this process — we don't write positive reviews because a bookmaker offers us a commission.
- We feature bookmakers without partnerships. If a bookmaker provides great service to Tanzanian bettors, we will recommend it even if we have no affiliate relationship with them. Our goal is to give you the best information, not to maximise our revenue.
- Negative reviews exist. We have and will continue to publish honest assessments that include drawbacks, limitations, and warnings — even for bookmakers that pay us commissions.
- Ratings are based on testing. Every rating on our best betting sites page is based on real criteria: M-Pesa processing speed, odds quality, customer support, withdrawal times, and licensing. Not on who pays us the most.
Our Bookmaker Partnerships
We maintain affiliate relationships with several bookmakers that operate in the Tanzanian market. These include both local operators licensed by the Gaming Board of Tanzania and international bookmakers that accept Tanzanian players. We only partner with bookmakers that meet our minimum standards for licensing, payment processing, and customer service.
The presence of an affiliate link on our site means we have a commercial relationship with that bookmaker. Where we have no affiliate relationship, we'll still link to the bookmaker — we just won't earn anything from your click.
Why This Matters
Affiliate revenue is what allows us to keep Sportbet Tanzania free for all visitors. Without it, we couldn't afford to maintain the site, test bookmakers, update our content, or provide daily football predictions. Your trust is the foundation of everything we do, which is why we're upfront about how we make money.
If you have questions about our affiliate relationships or want to know whether a specific link is an affiliate link, feel free to contact us. We're happy to be transparent.
