Editorial Integrity & Affiliate Disclosure
Transparency is the foundation of trust. Here is exactly how we fund our operations while maintaining unwavering editorial independence.
Our Commitment to You
At BestOnlinePsychics, our primary allegiance is to you, the spiritual seeker. Navigating the esoteric industry requires vulnerability, and we do not take the trust you place in our recommendations lightly.
To ensure you have full confidence in our reviews and guides, we have outlined our business model and editorial policies in plain English below.
How We Are Funded (Affiliate Partnerships)
Operating a website of this magnitude—which involves paying expert writers, maintaining servers, and most importantly, funding hundreds of anonymous psychic readings for testing purposes—requires significant resources.
To fund our operations, BestOnlinePsychics participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that if you click on a link to a psychic network (such as Kasamba, Keen, or California Psychics) from our site and subsequently make a purchase or sign up for an account, we may earn a referral commission.
Crucially, this comes at absolutely zero additional cost to you. In fact, our partnerships often allow us to offer you exclusive introductory discounts (like free minutes or discounted rates) that you would not receive by going directly to the network's homepage.
The Wall Between Revenue and Reviews
We enforce a strict "Chinese Wall" between our editorial team and our partnership/revenue team. Our affiliate relationships do not dictate our rankings or review scores.
If a network’s quality drops, their score drops. If our anonymous testers have a poor experience, we report it. We have, on multiple occasions, severed lucrative affiliate ties with networks that failed our ethical audits or refused to address customer complaints regarding fraudulent readers.
- Networks cannot "buy" a higher rating or a better review.
- We do not accept paid placements or sponsored posts disguised as editorial content.
- Our reviewers are not compensated based on which networks generate the most affiliate revenue.
Why We Pay for Our Own Readings
Unlike many review sites, we do not accept "free" comped readings in exchange for a review. When a network knows they are being reviewed, they assign their very best Master Psychic and ensure flawless customer service. That does not represent the reality of the everyday user experience.
We pay for every single reading using our own funds, under pseudonyms. This empirical approach guarantees that our reviews reflect the raw, unfiltered truth of using the platform.
