How we make money

Last updated: 6 October 2026

B-NKER is free. The site lives on three sources of income.

1. Partner links

When you follow some of our links to a broker, a prop firm, a trading tool, a crypto platform, a VPN or a trading server, and then open an account or buy, the partner may pay us a commission: a fixed fee per customer, a share of its revenue, or a percentage of your purchase. You pay nothing extra.

These links carry the label "Ad · Partner link" next to the button. A link without that label earns us nothing and carries no tracking parameter.

Recruitment links. On the affiliate programs page, when you join a program as an affiliate through one of our recruitment links, the program may pay us a commission (sub-affiliation). These buttons carry the label "Ad · Recruitment link"; the order of the table never depends on them.

2. Advertising

Ad slots may appear later. They will be labelled "Ad" and kept apart from our content. Any content paid for by a partner is labelled "Ad" too.

Sponsored articles. A firm can pay for an article about its offer, on quote. The article is labelled "Ad" at the top, names the firm that paid, and its links carry rel="sponsored". It never changes the firm's page, its score or its place in a list.

3. The API

Free access to our data stays open. High-volume API access will become paid.

What money never changes

• The values we publish, their quotes, sources and dates.
• The order of lists: they are sorted by the criterion you pick, or alphabetically. No position can be bought.
• Email alerts, calculators and the simulator: they never contain a partner link.

Where partner links are switched off

We show no partner link to a forex or CFD broker in France (overseas territories included), the European Union, the United States or Canada: the law there bans this advertising to retail clients or reserves it to registered intermediaries.

Everywhere else, each link is switched on or off country by country and category by category. When it is off, you get a plain link to the official site. When it is on, it leads to the entity named on the broker's page, with its regulator. In the European Union, we only link to crypto platforms authorised under the MiCA regulation.
