How I verify what you read here

Who writes this

BrokeRewards is written by RewardHunter. I have been following brokers and their promotions since 2013 — first on the Czech and Slovak markets, today in 11 languages across Europe. I am not a licensed adviser and this site never pretends to be one: I read terms, test sign-up flows and document what I find.

One rule shapes every page: I describe, you decide. I will spell out an offer's catch, its deadlines and what the small print says — but which broker, offer or asset you pick is your call, not mine.

How I verify sign-up offers and referral codes

Every offer and referral code on the site is checked by hand before it goes live, and re-checked whenever a reader reports a problem. I don't republish affiliate feeds or press releases — an offer appears only after I have:

1. Opened the broker's official sign-up flow in a fresh browser session (no cookies, no cached accounts).
2. Entered the code at the exact step the broker asks for it — usually the referral-code field during registration.
3. Confirmed the promised reward on the broker's own confirmation screen — not just in an affiliate dashboard.
4. Cross-checked the reward terms against the broker's published conditions and written down every catch: minimum deposit, eligible countries, time window, holding period.

Offers that expire or quietly tighten their terms get rewritten or taken down the day I learn about it — not left up to farm clicks.

How I check interest on uninvested cash

Interest rates change with less notice than any other number on this site, so they get their own routine:

• Source of truth: the broker's own rate page — never a press release, review blog or affiliate sheet.
• Evidence: every published rate is backed by a dated screenshot of that page, kept on file so I can trace when a rate changed.
• Re-checks: a scheduled job pulls the current rate tables and flags any difference against what the site says. Mismatches get fixed the same day.
• Date stamps: each rate shows when it was last verified. A date a month old means the broker hasn't moved it — not that I forgot.

How the news section works

Every news story stands on at least three independent sources, at least one of them primary — a regulator's register or decision, the broker's own terms, an official announcement. Facts are dated and linked; my own read of what a story means for retail clients stays clearly separate from them.

When an article covers a scam or a regulator's warning and names a broker, it carries no partner links — coverage and business stay apart.

Which brokers make it onto the site

Only brokers supervised by established authorities — FCA, CySEC, BaFin, KNF, ASIC or their equivalents. Unregulated platforms, offshore reward shops and anyone under pending enforcement stay off the site entirely, whatever commission they offer.

Partner links — and what they don't change

Some links on BrokeRewards are partner links: if you open an account through them, the broker pays the site a commission at no cost to you. That is how the site pays for itself, and every such link is disclosed. What a commission never buys:

• A place on the site — I cover regulated brokers with real, currently-running offers, with or without a partnership.
• Softer wording — if the conditions have a catch, the catch is in the article.
• Rankings or labels — no paid reviews, no sponsored top lists, no "recommended" badges anywhere. I am not licensed to recommend, so the site describes offers and lets you compare.

Corrections

Found a code that no longer works, a stale rate, or a factual error? Write to me and I will fix it. Corrections get an updated timestamp on the affected page.

What this page is not

This is an editorial methodology, not a risk disclosure. Trading CFDs and other leveraged products is risky, and a large majority of retail accounts lose money on them. Read the full risk disclaimer before opening any broker account.
