Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: January 2026

R58 (r58.okinawa) is committed to transparency with our readers. This page explains how we operate, how we earn revenue, and how we maintain editorial independence. Please read this disclosure carefully to understand our business model and our commitment to unbiased reviews.

What This Website Does

R58 is an independent review and recommendation website focused on テッドベット (Tedbet) and related online gambling operators. Our primary mission is to provide Japanese-market players with accurate, helpful information to make informed decisions about which platforms to use.

How We Earn Money: Affiliate Commissions

R58 earns revenue through affiliate commissions. When you click on certain links on our website and subsequently create an account, make a deposit, or engage with an online casino operator, we may receive a commission from that operator. This is how we fund the website, pay for research, and continue creating content.

How Affiliate Links Work

We include referral links to gambling operators throughout our website, particularly in reviews and comparison pages
These links contain tracking codes that identify when traffic comes from R58
If you register through our link and meet certain conditions (such as making a deposit), the operator pays us a commission
You pay the same amount whether you use our link or visit the operator directly—affiliate commissions do not affect your costs
The commission amount may vary between operators and does not influence which platforms we recommend

Our Commitment to Editorial Independence

James Wilson, the author and owner of R58, guarantees that all reviews and recommendations are independent and unbiased, regardless of affiliate relationships.

While R58 benefits financially when readers use our affiliate links, this relationship does not compromise our editorial standards. Our reputation depends entirely on providing honest, accurate reviews. If we recommended poor-quality operators simply because they pay higher commissions, readers would quickly discover this and stop trusting us.

In practice, this means:

We review all operators using the same objective criteria, whether or not they are affiliate partners
We include both positive and negative information in our reviews
We do not accept payments or special treatment from operators in exchange for favorable reviews
We will not recommend an operator simply because it offers affiliate commissions
Our rankings and comparisons are based solely on player experience, features, security, and reliability

Our Review Methodology

James Wilson applies rigorous criteria when evaluating Tedbet and other operators:

Licensing and Regulation: Verification of proper gaming licenses and regulatory compliance
Security: Assessment of encryption, data protection, and account safety measures
Game Selection: Evaluation of available games, providers, and variety
Bonuses and Promotions: Analysis of wagering requirements, terms, and real value to players
Customer Support: Testing of response times and quality of customer service
Withdrawal Process: Speed, fees, and ease of accessing winnings
User Experience: Website design, mobile compatibility, and navigation
Player Reviews: Aggregation and analysis of independent player feedback

James Wilson's Expertise and Objectivity

James Wilson is an experienced gambling industry analyst with extensive knowledge of online casino operations, Japanese gaming regulations, and player protection standards. His expertise enables him to evaluate operators fairly and identify both strengths and weaknesses. His professional reputation is built on objectivity—not on maximizing affiliate commissions.
