IMPORTANT NOTICE — PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

PlaySavvy.co.za is an INDEPENDENT AFFILIATE COMPARISON AND REVIEW WEBSITE. We are NOT a casino, NOT a gambling operator, and do NOT hold any gambling licence. We do not accept wagers, process payments, manage player accounts, or operate any games of chance. By using this website you acknowledge and accept all terms set out below.

1. About PlaySavvy.co.za

1.1 PlaySavvy.co.za ("the Website", "we", "us", "our") is an independent online platform that provides comparative information, reviews, ratings, and editorial content relating to licensed online gambling operators available to South African residents.

1.2 The Website is owned and operated by an independent South African entity and is registered as a digital marketing and comparison service. PlaySavvy.co.za is NOT a gambling operator and does NOT hold a licence issued by the National Gambling Board (NGB), any Provincial Licensing Authority (PLA), the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board (WCGRB), the Eastern Cape Gambling Board (ECGB), or any other gambling regulatory authority in South Africa or elsewhere.

1.3 We earn revenue through affiliate marketing commission arrangements with licensed casino operators. When you click a referral link on our website and subsequently register or make a deposit with a casino, we may receive a commission from that casino. This does not affect the price you pay, your bonus entitlements, or your rights as a player.

2. Affiliate Disclosure

2.1 PlaySavvy.co.za operates as an affiliate marketing website. This means we have commercial relationships with some of the gambling operators featured on our site.

2.2 These commercial relationships may include: Revenue share commissions on player deposits or losses; Cost-per-acquisition (CPA) payments for new player registrations; Hybrid commission structures combining the above; Flat-rate advertising or sponsorship fees.

2.3 Our affiliate relationships DO NOT: Influence our editorial ratings or reviews in any guaranteed manner; Obligate us to present any operator in a favourable light; Grant any operator the right to approve, edit, or remove our content; Constitute a guarantee, endorsement, or warranty of any operator's services.

2.4 We endeavour to provide honest, independent assessments. However, users are advised that a financial incentive exists and should conduct their own due diligence before registering with any gambling operator.

2.5 Operators that pay higher commissions are not necessarily ranked higher. Our rankings are based on editorial criteria including licence status, game variety, withdrawal speed, customer support, and bonus value. Paid placement, where it exists, will be clearly labelled as "Sponsored" or "Featured."
