How we make money

Updated 5 Nov 2026 · 2 min read

HonestPayouts is free to read. This page explains exactly how the site is funded, the rules we follow when we write and rank, and how to tell us when we get something wrong.

How we earn

  • Affiliate and referral links. Some links on the site are affiliate or personal referral links. If you sign up or buy through one, we may get a commission or referral bonus, at no extra cost to you. Every such link is marked #ad and uses rel="sponsored".
  • Display advertising. We show ads served by Google AdSense. We don’t choose individual ads and advertisers have no say over our content.
  • No paid rankings. We don’t accept payment for placement, positions in the ranking, reviews or “featured” slots. We don’t publish sponsored posts.

Our editorial rules

  • Every figure is sourced and linked — preferably to the provider’s own page. If we can’t verify a figure, we say “check the site” rather than guess.
  • We list an offer with the same conditions whether or not we earn from it, and we list offers we don’t earn from.
  • We only use referral codes where the programme’s terms allow public sharing. If they don’t, we link to the provider’s official page instead.
  • Pages show the date they were last checked. Ended offers are moved to an “Ended offers” section instead of being silently deleted.
  • Nothing on the site is financial or tax advice.

How we rank

The survey-site ranking is ordered by evidence, not commission: published payout speed, minimum cash-out, payout methods, UK availability and £/hour figures from cited tests. Reader-submitted earnings will be labelled as such once we have enough. Whether we have a referral link for a site never changes its position. Full method: About & method.

Corrections
