How this site makes money

MarketVerdict may earn a commission from links to Olymp Trade. Trading carries a risk of loss.

The short version

MarketVerdict is funded by affiliate commission. When a reader follows one of our partner links to Olymp Trade and opens an account, the operator may pay us a share of the revenue that account later generates. You pay nothing extra, and your terms are identical to those of someone who arrived directly.

Which links are which

Partner links are the buttons and links that send you to the operator to register, download the app or open the demo. They are routed through our own redirect path and carry rel="sponsored nofollow", which is how a search engine is told the link is commercial. Ordinary links inside our articles — to other pages on this site, or to a public register or documentation — are not commercial and carry no commission.

What the commission does not buy

This is the part that matters, so we will be blunt about it.

• It does not buy a rating. No operator sees a page before publication, approves wording, or has any right of veto over what we write.
• It does not remove criticism. Complaint patterns, verification friction and withdrawal problems stay on the page whether or not they are commercially convenient.
• It does not change the licensing section. Where a platform is not authorised by a local regulator, we say so plainly and explain what that means for you.
• It does not soften the risk warning. Trading carries a risk of loss, and fixed-time trading is a high-risk product where money can be lost quickly.

If a commercial arrangement ever required us to change a factual assessment, we would drop the arrangement rather than the assessment.

How we are paid, in practice

Payment is usually a revenue share, sometimes a fixed fee per verified account, depending on the programme and the country. It is paid by the operator's partner department, never by you. We do not sell placements, we do not publish sponsored posts dressed as reviews, and we do not accept payment to add or remove a specific claim.

What this means for you as a reader

• Read our verdicts as an informed opinion from a commercially funded publisher — not as independent regulatory advice.
• Check volatile numbers (minimum deposit, bonus terms, withdrawal windows, fees) on the operator's own site before you act. We tell you to do this because those numbers change without notice.
• Check whether the platform may legally be used where you live. That varies by country and is your responsibility, not ours.
• Never trade money you cannot afford to lose.
