Affiliate Disclosure
legalderbybetting.trmdata.com/ participates in affiliate marketing programs with the racebooks and betting platforms featured on this site. This means we may earn a commission when you click a link to a recommended racebook and create a new account.
We want to be completely transparent about how this works and how it affects what you read here.
How We Make Money
When you click a link to Bovada, BetOnline, TwinSpires, DraftKings Racing, FanDuel Racing or any other racebook featured on this site and subsequently open an account, we may receive a commission from that operator. The commission is paid by the racebook, not by you. It does not affect the price of any bonus, the terms of any promotion or the experience you have on the platform.
We earn money when we help you find a racebook you want to use. That is the business model and we are not shy about it.
How It Affects Our Content
We rank and recommend racebooks based on our genuine assessment of their value to Derby bettors. Bovada is our top pick because it offers the best combination of welcome bonus, payout ceiling, ongoing rebates and platform quality — not because it pays us more than the alternatives.
We have turned down affiliate relationships with racebooks we would not recommend. If a book has a poor payout record, misleading terms or a weak exotic wagering menu, it does not appear on this site regardless of what they offer us.
The reviews, comparisons and recommendations on this site reflect our honest opinions. We note genuine weaknesses in the books we recommend — including the withdrawal limitations at offshore books and the age restrictions at regulated platforms — because useful information serves our readers better than a sales pitch does. Readers who trust us are more likely to come back. Readers who feel misled do not.
Editorial Independence
The affiliate relationships on this site do not influence the editorial positions we take. Our team researches, tests and writes about racebooks the same way regardless of whether an affiliate agreement is in place.
If a racebook we currently recommend changes its terms, reduces its bonus value or develops a pattern of problems with payouts, we will update our content to reflect that. An affiliate relationship does not protect a recommendation.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is made in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials in advertising (16 CFR Part 255). We are required to disclose material connections between this site and the products or services we recommend, and we do so on this page and through contextual disclosures on relevant pages throughout the site.
