Straight answer: The Player Edition earns money when you click an operator link on this site and sign up or deposit. That is affiliate commission — a referral fee paid by the operator, not by you.
How it works
We join affiliate programmes run by operators or third-party networks. When you follow a “Visit” link and register, the operator may pay us a fixed fee or a percentage of your net revenue. The cost to you is zero — you see the same site and offers as if you arrived directly.
What this means for our reviews
Affiliate income creates a financial incentive to recommend operators. We do not hide that. Our scores are based on game libraries, live casino depth, mobile quality, payments and support — factors we can verify independently. A higher commission rate does not automatically mean a higher score. LeoVegas tops our live-casino ranking because its platform is genuinely stronger, not because it pays the most.
What we do not do
- Accept payment from operators to improve scores or placement
- Hide the affiliate relationship — it is stated on the homepage, footer and here
- Handle your money, accounts or bets — all gambling happens on operator sites
- Add tracking parameters to outbound links — URLs point to official operator domains
Operator independence
The Player Edition is not owned by, operated by or formally partnered with any casino brand listed on this site. We are not a gambling operator and hold no UKGC licence.
