How We Make Money

OpesAdvisors is an affiliate publisher. When you click an /go/ link on this site and open a live account with a broker, exchange or prop firm, we may receive a commission. We disclose this everywhere we recommend a platform, not just on this page.

The honest summary

Our revenue comes from CPA (cost-per-acquisition) and revenue-share agreements with broker affiliate programs. Commission ranges between roughly $50 and $1,850 per funded account depending on the broker, the country, and the deposit amount. Higher-CPA partnerships do not buy higher scores.

What we will not do

• We will not accept payment to inflate a score or rank a broker higher than the testing data supports.
• We will not hide negative findings to protect a CPA relationship.
• We will not publish a "review" that is actually a press release from the broker.
• We will not list a broker we have not tested with real capital at the funded-account stage.

What we will do

• We will disclose affiliate relationships in plain language, near every recommendation.
• We will publish negative findings on partners and non-partners with the same prominence.
• We will tell you when a broker has a stronger competitor for your specific use case, even if that competitor pays us less.
• We will update reviews when withdrawal speed degrades, regulation status changes, or rules tighten — even if it loses us money.

The structural mechanics

Editorial scoring and affiliate management are operated by separate workflows. Reviews are written and updated by named analysts whose compensation is not tied to broker-by-broker conversion data. The affiliate links use a /go/[broker]/ redirect format that lets us swap affiliate networks without changing review content.

We test on live funded accounts using our own capital, not capital provided by the broker. The broker does not see the data we collect during testing until the published review is live, at which point everyone can see it.

FTC compliance

OpesAdvisors complies with the US Federal Trade Commission disclosure guidelines for affiliate marketers and the equivalent rules under the UK FCA and the EU ESMA frameworks for financial promotion. Affiliate links carry rel="sponsored nofollow" attributes; we disclose the commercial relationship inline next to the recommendation, not buried in footer text.

Questions or concerns

If you believe a review is biased, a score is wrong, or an affiliate disclosure is missing — write to us through the email on the contact page. We treat every complaint as a correction request and we publish corrections publicly when warranted.
