How We Earn – Affiliate Links & Editorial Independence

Free Crypto List is free to use. It costs nothing to read, nothing to access any guide, and nothing to follow any recommendation here. To keep the site running and updated, some links on this site are affiliate links – meaning if you sign up or make a purchase through them, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

This page explains exactly how that works, which links are affiliate links, and – more importantly – what you get out of using them.

The Short Version

  • Affiliate links cost you nothing extra
  • Most links get you a bonus or discount that you would not get going directly
  • A link being affiliate never influences whether we recommend something
  • If we would not use it ourselves, it is not on this site

What You Get – Visitor Bonuses

This is the part most disclosure pages skip. Here are the actual benefits available to you when you use our links:

Coinbase Receive $10 in Bitcoin when you buy $100 or more. Standard Coinbase referral offer – the same one you would get from any referral link, just ours instead of someone else’s.

Ledger Receive $10-$30 worth of Bitcoin with your first Ledger hardware wallet purchase. Ledger’s referral program includes a crypto bonus alongside the purchase – a genuinely useful addition for anyone buying their first hardware wallet.

Cointiply Receive 1,000 coins as a welcome bonus when you sign up. Free head start on your first day – no purchase required.

More affiliate programs are being added as we verify the exact terms. We will not list benefits we have not confirmed.

Links With No Visitor Bonus

Some affiliate links on this site pay us a commission without offering a visitor bonus. These include tools and platforms where the affiliate program is standard industry practice but does not include a signup incentive. We still only list these when we genuinely recommend the platform – the commission is a byproduct of the recommendation, not the reason for it.

How We Choose What to List

Everything on Free Crypto List goes through the same evaluation process regardless of whether an affiliate relationship exists:

  • We review it against our rating methodology
  • We check for legitimate track record and user feedback
  • We assess security, payout reliability, and realistic earning potential
  • We only list platforms we would recommend to someone we know personally

If a platform fails that test, it does not appear on this site – affiliate relationship or not.

A Note on Reviews

Our reviews reflect our honest assessment. Where we have first-hand experience, we say so and share the actual numbers. Where we have concerns, we say so clearly. The Cointiply review documents real earnings from real use. The TrustDice review is honest about its limitations. That honesty is the whole point – a site that recommends everything uncritically is useless to everyone.
