Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: 1 March 2026
Summary
CasinoReviewsScout earns commission when users sign up to casinos through our links. This never changes our ratings or recommendations. We only recommend UKGC-licensed casinos we genuinely believe are good for players.
1. What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a performance-based marketing arrangement where a publisher (CasinoReviewsScout) earns a commission for referring customers to a merchant (online casinos). When you click a link on our website and subsequently register at a casino, we may receive a commission payment from that casino. This commission is paid by the casino at no additional cost to you.
2. How We Are Compensated
CasinoReviewsScout participates in affiliate programmes with the UK online casinos listed on our Website. We may receive commission in the following forms:
- Revenue share — a percentage of net gaming revenue generated by referred players
- Cost per acquisition (CPA) — a fixed payment for each qualifying player registration
- Hybrid deals — a combination of revenue share and CPA
We do not receive payment for placing a casino at a specific position in our rankings. Our rankings are determined by our editorial methodology only.
3. Our Editorial Independence
Our affiliate relationships never influence our editorial content, ratings, or reviews. All casino ratings on CasinoReviewsScout are determined exclusively by our editorial methodology, which includes real-money testing, bonus terms analysis, support testing, and other objective criteria.
We do not accept payment to write positive reviews. If a casino performs poorly in our testing, it will receive a lower rating regardless of any affiliate relationship. We have declined to list casinos that did not meet our editorial standards, even where an affiliate relationship was available.
4. Which Links Are Affiliate Links?
All links to casino websites on CasinoReviewsScout may be affiliate links. We do not mark individual links with special notation, as all casino links on our site should be assumed to potentially carry affiliate tracking. We believe this blanket disclosure is clearer than per-link labelling.
5. No Additional Cost to You
Using affiliate links on our Website does not increase the cost of any casino service for you. The commission we receive is paid entirely by the casino from its own marketing budget. You will not pay a higher price by registering through our links compared to going directly to the casino.
6. Our Commitment to Players
Despite our commercial relationships with casinos, our primary obligation is to our readers — UK casino players seeking trustworthy information. Our values are:
- Only recommend UKGC-licensed casinos
- Highlight both the pros and cons of every casino honestly
- Clearly explain bonus wagering requirements and restrictions
- Promote responsible gambling in all our content
- Update our information regularly to maintain accuracy
7. FCA & ASA Compliance
This disclosure is made in compliance with UK advertising standards (ASA CAP Code) and applicable consumer protection regulations. We believe transparency about commercial relationships is essential for building trust with our readers.
