I don't understand the "no one advertises for free for us" complaints though.
I don't think that's the complaint. At least my problem with most casino review/comparison sites is they pretend to be a list of "the best casinos for you to play at" but are in reality are a list of "these casinos make us the most money". Often those two lists are wildly divergent, to the point some of the biggest casino review sites literally knowingly promote some of the most worst casinos out there.
People understood you, even though you are trying to avoid the topic as much as you possibly can, we really really REALLY understand you. The problem here is that you ignore what the other part people are saying. We agree that "here are the greatest casinos" lists that is basically paid advertisement and affiliate, if a review website is getting paid for giving good ranking that is bad, we all agree with that.
However the part where you keep ignoring and keep not responding (and neither devans for that matter) is the simple fact that they also do not have to list all the good ones neither, if you have no affiliate, or you do not pay, that means they do not have to list you neither, they could simply act as if you never existed if they want to, that is their own business decision.
