Paid positions, reviews and affiliate links

Positions on the boards are bought. The highest bid holds a spot until someone outbids it. A position shows who paid the most for visibility - it is not a quality rating, a recommendation or a sign that I tested the brand.

Full rules are on the rules page.

Buying a position does not buy a review, a score or positive wording. A review appears only when I write and publish it, and it follows my methodology. Brands cannot edit reviews.

Some buttons and links lead through affiliate (referral) links. If you register or deposit through them, I may receive a commission. It costs you nothing extra and does not change what a review says. Such links are marked as sponsored for search engines.

Paid positions, sponsored blocks and referral clicks pay for the work behind the reviews: the accounts and deposits I make at the casinos I list, the hours I spend reading bonus terms and checking licences against the regulator's register, and the servers that keep these pages free to open. That is the only reason the site sells visibility.

It is also what makes honest verdicts possible. Income comes from many brands, so no single advertiser decides what a review says, and a casino that rewrites its terms can still be written up. Each casino board carries a short footnote saying which listings are advertising; if you ever cannot tell, ask me and I will point you to the source.

• Invent test results, bonuses or licence details.
• Call a paid position "the best" or "recommended".
• Hide that a page is a demo or unverified.
