Affiliate Disclosure
DarkAngelReviews.com is an independent adult review publication that reviews and compares premium adult membership sites and related services.
Our reviews, comparisons, and recommendations are available to readers free of charge. To support the cost of operating the website, testing memberships, updating existing reviews, and producing new editorial content, Dark Angel Reviews earns revenue primarily through affiliate partnerships.
This page explains how those relationships work and how we separate affiliate revenue from our editorial ratings and recommendations.
How Dark Angel Reviews Makes Money
Some of the links on DarkAngelReviews.com are affiliate links.
If you follow one of these links and purchase a membership or another qualifying service, Dark Angel Reviews may receive a commission from the site operator or an affiliate network.
Using an affiliate link does not normally increase the price you pay. In some cases, our affiliate partnerships allow us to provide readers with discounted membership prices or special promotions.
Affiliate revenue helps support expenses associated with operating Dark Angel Reviews, including:
- Purchasing and testing adult memberships
- Reviewing and updating existing sites
- Producing new reviews, comparisons, and guides
- Website hosting and technical infrastructure
- Writers, reviewers, research, and editorial work
- Website development and maintenance
Affiliate Relationships Do Not Determine Our Ratings
Affiliate commissions do not determine our review scores, rankings, or editorial opinions.
A site does not receive a higher rating because it pays a larger commission, and participating in an affiliate program does not guarantee a positive review or recommendation.
Likewise, we do not increase review scores or rankings in exchange for advertising, higher commission rates, complimentary reviewer access, or other commercial incentives.
Our reviews are based on our assessment of the membership itself, including factors such as content quality, library size, video quality, usability, update frequency, membership features, pricing, and overall value.
You can read more about the criteria we use on our Rating Criteria page.
How We Review Affiliate Partners
Having an affiliate relationship with a site does not change how we evaluate its membership.
We access and test the premium memberships we review so that we can evaluate the experience available behind the paywall rather than relying only on information provided by the operator’s public sales pages.
Depending on the membership, our testing can include browsing the members area, examining the content library, streaming videos, testing downloads, checking video quality, using search and filtering tools, reviewing prices and billing options, checking updates, and comparing the site with competing memberships we’ve reviewed.
If an affiliate partner declines in quality, stops updating, removes important features, becomes poor value, or otherwise no longer meets our standards, we can lower its rating or stop recommending it.
Discounts & Special Offers
Our long-standing relationships with adult site operators and affiliate programs sometimes allow us to provide readers with discounted membership prices or special offers.
When an affiliate link provides a lower price than the site’s standard public offer, readers can benefit from that discount while Dark Angel Reviews may still receive an affiliate commission.
A genuine discount can affect our assessment of value because the price someone actually pays is relevant when comparing memberships. However, the existence of an affiliate agreement itself does not determine a site’s score or ranking.
Prices and promotions can change, so readers should always confirm the final price, billing period, rebilling terms, and other conditions shown on the site’s checkout page before completing a purchase.
Complimentary Review Access
In some cases, an adult site or affiliate program may provide our editorial team with complimentary access to a membership for testing and review purposes.
Complimentary access does not guarantee a positive review and does not increase a site’s rating or ranking.
Whether we purchase a membership ourselves or receive reviewer access, we aim to evaluate the same members area and features available to regular paying members.
If the access provided to us differs materially from the standard membership available to customers, we take that difference into consideration when evaluating the site.
Editorial Independence
Dark Angel Reviews is independently operated and is not owned by the adult studios, membership sites, or affiliate programs we review.
Commercial relationships and editorial evaluations are treated separately. Affiliate partnerships help fund the publication, but our ratings and recommendations are based on our assessment of the products and memberships being reviewed.
Our Chief Editor, Daniel, oversees our editorial standards and review process. Dark Angel Reviews has been reviewing premium adult membership sites since 2012, and we use that experience to compare sites across the broader adult membership market.

FTC Affiliate Disclosure
Dark Angel Reviews discloses its affiliate relationships in accordance with applicable advertising and endorsement disclosure requirements, including guidance issued by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
Readers should assume that links from Dark Angel Reviews to commercial adult membership sites may be affiliate links and that we may receive compensation if a purchase is made through those links.
This compensation helps fund the operation of the website but does not increase the price paid by the reader unless clearly stated otherwise by the merchant.
