Affiliate Disclosure & Partnership Policy
Our commitment to total clarity regarding commercial relationships, editorial independence, and how we fund our independent testing process in 2026.
1. How We Operate and Fund Our Research
Operating an independent review portal requires significant resources. Our team personally creates accounts, conducts KYC verification tests, deposits real funds in GBP and cryptocurrency, tests withdrawal velocity, and evaluates customer support responsiveness. To fund these rigorous ongoing audits without charging subscription fees to readers, we participate in affiliate marketing programs.
When you click an outbound link to an online casino listed on our platform and subsequently register or deposit, we may receive a commission. These commissions are paid entirely by the casino operator and never impose any added fee, reduced odds, or diminished bonus value upon you as a player.
2. Editorial Independence and Objective Testing
We maintain an uncompromised firewall between commercial partnerships and editorial evaluations. Our writers, lead researchers, and compliance reviewers operate under strict editorial charters that forbid pay-for-placement arrangements. Operators cannot purchase a higher rating, alter a factual critique, or remove verified player grievances from our reviews.
What Commercial Partners Receive
- Accurate tracking of outbound player referrals
- Objective coverage of their genuine gaming library and promotions
- Fair right of reply to resolve documented technical disputes
What We Strictly Forbid
- Paid removal of genuine drawbacks or slow payment notes
- Sponsored manipulation of our ranking algorithm
- Promotion of rogue operators lacking valid regulatory credentials
3. Regulatory & Consumer Protection Compliance
As an informational publisher catering to adult UK audiences (18+), we adhere to the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) CAP Code guidelines on affiliate disclosures and transparency. We ensure all welcome bonus highlights display key qualifying terms, including wagering requirements, expiry periods, and minimum deposit figures.
We strongly advocate responsible gambling. Affiliation never overrides our primary directive: ensuring UK players have the unvarnished facts regarding regulatory jurisdictions, dispute resolution procedures, and safe gaming practices.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does visiting an operator via your referral links cost me anything extra?
No. Using our links never incurs any additional costs. In fact, our partnerships often secure exclusive welcome packages, higher bonus matches, or improved free spin allocations that are not directly available to standard walk-in signups.
Can an offshore casino pay to alter a negative review or remove a con?
No. Our review team maintains complete autonomy. If an operator imposes slow withdrawal processing, unfair maximum cashout rules, or poor customer support, those drawbacks remain prominently highlighted in our evaluation regardless of commercial arrangements.
How do you select which non Gamstop casinos to list?
Each platform undergoes our multi-stage review methodology. We verify legal operating licenses (such as Curacao eGaming or Anjouan Gaming), examine SSL encryption certificates, audit game RNG certifications, test cashier systems with real GBP transactions, and review player feedback before approving a listing.
