Partner disclosure

This page states the commercial position of OptionLens in plain terms, because a reader deciding how much weight to give an explainer deserves to know who pays for it.

The commercial model

OptionLens is an affiliate publisher. The model is that a site of this kind places tracked links to trading platforms and receives a commission when a reader opens an account through one. That is the standard economics of the comparison and explainer sector, and it is worth understanding rather than pretending away.

What is live right now

No partner programme is currently enrolled for this site, and no tracked commercial link is published on any page. Every link you can click here is either an internal link to another page of this site or, on the homepage, a single plain reference to the operator's own website. Nothing on the site currently earns a commission.

If that changes, this page changes with it, and the change will be visible here before it is visible anywhere else on the site.

How commercial links would be marked

If a partner programme is added later, the rules the site holds itself to are:

• Commercial links carry rel="sponsored nofollow" so that search engines and readers can both tell what they are.
• They open in a new tab and are never disguised as ordinary running text inside an explanation.
• They appear in clearly marked call-to-action blocks, not sprinkled through the body of an article.
• No page changes its factual conclusion because a link on it earns money.

What a commission does not buy

• It does not buy a positive verdict. The risk pages, the house-edge arithmetic and the regulatory pages say the same thing whether or not there is money on the page.
• It does not buy a place in a comparison. Platforms are included because readers ask about them.
• It does not buy a removed criticism. Nothing is deleted at an operator's request; factual errors are corrected on evidence, which is a different thing.

What you should do with this information

Treat any affiliate-funded site, including this one, as a starting point rather than a final authority. Terms, payouts, available assets and the rules that apply in your country all change, and they change on the operator's and the regulator's pages first. Read those before you commit money, and read the risk material before you decide the product suits you at all.

The costs on your side are unaffected either way: a commission is paid by the platform out of its own marketing budget, not added to anything you deposit.
