Affiliate Disclosure

Transparency about how we earn money and maintain editorial independence

How We Make Money

BitScout is a free service that helps you compare cryptocurrency exchanges safely. We earn money through affiliate commissions when you click on links to exchanges and create an account. This means we receive a referral bonus at no extra cost to you.

Our Affiliate Partners

We work with various cryptocurrency exchanges, including but not limited to:

  • Coinbase
  • Binance
  • Kraken
  • Gemini
  • Crypto.com
  • KuCoin
  • And other regulated exchanges

Editorial Independence

Our affiliate relationships do not influence our safety ratings or recommendations. We prioritize security, regulatory compliance, and user protection above all else. Our risk-first approach means we will never recommend an unsafe exchange just because they offer higher commissions.

How Affiliate Links Work

When you click on a "Visit Exchange" or "Sign Up" button on our site:

  1. You are redirected to the exchange's website
  2. A referral code identifies that you came from BitScout
  3. If you create an account and trade, we may receive a commission
  4. You often receive a bonus too (reduced fees, sign-up bonus, etc.)

No Extra Cost to You

Using our affiliate links never costs you extra money. In fact, many exchanges offer reduced trading fees or sign-up bonuses when you use our referral links.

Why We Use Affiliate Links

Affiliate commissions allow us to:

  • Keep BitScout completely free for users
  • Conduct thorough security audits of exchanges
  • Monitor regulatory compliance across jurisdictions
  • Pay for hosting, development, and operational costs
