Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: January 2026

Independent Casino UK, operated by James Wilson, is committed to transparency regarding our business relationships and revenue model. This page explains how we earn money and confirms that our affiliate relationships do not compromise the integrity of our casino reviews and recommendations.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Independent Casino UK contains affiliate links to online casino operators and gambling service providers. An affiliate link is a special URL that allows us to earn a commission when you click through and complete certain actions—such as creating an account or making a deposit—at a partner casino.

When you use one of our affiliate links to visit an online casino, we may receive a referral fee or commission from that operator. This arrangement does not cost you anything extra; you pay the same amount whether you access the casino directly or through our link.

How Our Affiliate Programme Works

Independent Casino UK participates in affiliate programmes offered by reputable online gambling operators licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission and other recognised authorities. Our affiliate relationships are structured as follows:

• We receive commissions based on player sign-ups or deposits referred through our links
• Commission rates vary by operator and may change periodically
• We only promote operators that meet our quality and safety standards
• Our affiliate agreements do not include incentives to provide favourable reviews
• We retain full editorial control over all reviews and recommendations

Editorial Independence and Objectivity

Our commitment: Despite earning affiliate commissions, Independent Casino UK maintains complete editorial independence. James Wilson's reviews are unbiased, honest, and based solely on the quality, features, and safety of each casino platform.

Affiliate revenue does not influence which casinos we review, how we rate them, or whether we recommend them. We review casinos we would not earn commissions from, and we criticise or decline to recommend operators even when affiliate commissions are available.

Our Review Methodology

Every casino review on Independent Casino UK follows a rigorous, standardised evaluation process:

• Licensing verification: We confirm all operators hold valid gambling licenses from the UK Gambling Commission or equivalent regulators
• Security assessment: We examine SSL encryption, data protection measures, and fraud prevention systems
• Game variety: We test the breadth and quality of available games, software providers, and features
• Bonus terms: We analyse bonus offers, wagering requirements, and terms and conditions for fairness
• Customer support: We evaluate response times, availability, and quality of customer service
• User experience: We assess website design, navigation, mobile compatibility, and functionality
• Payment methods: We review deposit and withdrawal options, fees, and processing times

James Wilson personally conducts or oversees all reviews, drawing on years of expertise in the online gambling industry and commitment to consumer protection.

Your Confidence Matters

• We never accept payment to alter, remove, or suppress reviews
• We do not prioritise casinos based on affiliate commission rates
• We clearly label all affiliate links throughout our site
• We welcome feedback and take reader concerns seriously
