AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE
How commissions work without handing over the rankings
Gamblingpatch15 contains affiliate links to some casino brands featured on the site. This page explains what that means and what it does not mean.
Affiliate relationships on this site
Some links published by Gamblingpatch15 are tracked affiliate links. If a reader clicks one of those links and then completes a qualifying action with the operator, such as registration or another tracked event, we may receive a commission from the operator or from an affiliate network acting on its behalf. This commercial arrangement helps support the running of the site, including research time, design, hosting and ongoing maintenance.
What affiliate payment does not buy
A commission does not buy a fixed score, a guaranteed ranking position or immunity from criticism. Operators may appear on the site because they are relevant to the UK market, not because they have purchased praise. If an offer is unclear, if a site feels awkward to use, or if safer gambling information is buried too deeply, our editorial notes can reflect that even where a tracked link exists. Readers should assume that commercial relationships exist, but not that those relationships dictate every opinion.
How we try to protect editorial independence
The review model uses set scoring categories so that ranking decisions are tied to observable factors rather than last-minute commercial requests. We look at licence visibility, promotional clarity, product range, speed, usability and support. That framework does not eliminate judgement, but it does create boundaries. It is easier to defend a ranking when the criteria are already on the table and the reasoning can be described in plain language.
Why disclosure matters
Affiliate publishing is common across comparison websites, and hiding it would make the site harder to trust. Readers deserve to know that clicking a link may create a commission for us. That knowledge allows the content to be read with the right context. It also reflects a basic rule we try to follow across the whole site: say what is happening rather than wrap it in softer language that leaves the financial relationship unclear.
Your responsibility before registering
Even when a casino is featured on Gamblingpatch15, you remain responsible for checking the current operator terms, eligibility rules, bonus conditions and account requirements before you register. Promotions can change quickly. Jurisdiction restrictions, payment methods and verification steps can also vary. Our pages are designed to help you narrow the field, not to replace the operator's own contract documents or regulatory notices.
