Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: January 2026

Independent Casino Sites (independent-casino-sites.uk) is committed to transparency and honesty with our readers. This disclosure explains how we earn revenue and confirms that our editorial standards remain uncompromised by our commercial relationships.

How We Earn Money

Independent Casino Sites may earn affiliate commissions when you click links to online casino operators featured in our reviews and recommendations. When you visit a casino operator through one of our affiliate links and create an account or make a deposit, the operator pays us a commission. This commission comes from the operator's marketing budget and does not increase the cost to you.

Affiliate commissions are our primary source of revenue. We are transparent about this because we believe our readers deserve to understand the business model behind the content they consume.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are special URLs that track when someone has visited a casino operator through Independent Casino Sites. These links allow operators to attribute new players to our website and pay us accordingly. You can typically identify affiliate links because they contain unique identifiers in the URL or are marked with disclosure labels on our site.

Important: Using an affiliate link does not cost you anything extra. You will pay the same deposit amounts and enjoy the same bonuses whether you access a casino directly or through our affiliate links.

Our Commitment to Editorial Independence

Despite earning affiliate commissions, James Wilson maintains complete editorial independence when reviewing and recommending online casinos. Our reviews are based entirely on objective criteria, player experience, safety, and regulatory compliance—never on commission amounts.

Here is what this means in practice:

• We do not accept higher rankings or more positive reviews in exchange for increased commissions
• We review casinos we do not have affiliate partnerships with
• We publish honest criticisms and warnings about casino operators, even if they are affiliate partners
• Commission rates do not influence our editorial recommendations
• Our review rankings reflect genuine assessment, not financial incentives

Our Review Methodology

James Wilson evaluates each casino operator using a rigorous, standardised assessment framework:

• Licensing and Regulation: Verification of valid UK gambling licences and international regulatory status
• Player Safety: Assessment of security measures, data protection, and responsible gambling tools
• Game Selection: Quality, variety, and fairness of gaming software from reputable providers
• Bonuses and Promotions: Clarity of terms, fairness of conditions, and realistic value to players
• Payment Methods: Availability, security, and processing times for deposits and withdrawals
• Customer Support: Responsiveness, knowledge, and accessibility across multiple channels
• User Experience: Website design, mobile compatibility, and overall ease of use
• Player Feedback: Analysis of independent player reviews and complaint resolution records

This methodology remains consistent regardless of whether a casino operator is an affiliate partner.
