Affiliate disclosure
We are paid when you sign up. Here is what that means.
Every commercial link on this site is an affiliate link. Rather than tuck that into a footer, it seems more useful to explain exactly how the arrangement works and where you should apply scepticism.
The arrangement
When you follow one of our operator links and go on to register an account, the operator may pay Spin Watch House a commission. Depending on the operator that can be a one-off payment, a share of the revenue your account generates over time, or a combination. It costs you nothing, and it does not alter the terms, offers or conditions you receive — you get exactly what you would get by typing the address into your browser.
This is the sole source of income for the site. There is no advertising, no sponsored content, no paid placement sold separately from the affiliate arrangement, and nothing behind a paywall.
What it affects
Two things, and we would rather name them than let you discover them.
- Which operators appear at all. The five brands here are not the five best in Britain, nor the only five licensed for casino play. They are operators we are in a position to write about commercially. Treat this as a selection, because that is what it is.
- The running order. The order reflects our scoring method, but the method was designed by a business that earns money from clicks, and the pool it is applied to is commercially determined. That is a real influence and no disclosure sentence makes it disappear.
What it does not affect
The factual layer, and this is the whole reason the site is built the way it is. Legal licensee names, UKGC account numbers, licence numbers, authorised products, activity start dates and declared domains all come from the Gambling Commission’s public register. We cannot adjust any of it in a partner’s favour, and every one of those claims carries a link to the register record, so a misstatement would be caught by anyone who followed it.
Nor does commission buy an operator a place on this site if it does not hold an active remote casino licence for Great Britain. That is a threshold, not a preference. An operator whose casino authorisation lapsed would be removed regardless of what it was worth to us.
How the links behave
- They go to the operator’s licensed domain as recorded on the register, and nowhere else. There are no intermediate redirect chains and no disguised destinations.
- They carry our own campaign parameters so we can see which pages send traffic. Those parameters identify the page, not you.
- They are marked up as sponsored links and open in a new tab, and each one states which company operates the destination before you click.
- Nothing happens automatically. There are no automatic redirects to operators on this site; you have to choose to leave.
What we are not
We are not the operator. If you open an account, your contract is with the licensed company named on our page — 888 UK Limited, LeoVegas Gaming PLC, Star Racing Limited, Maple International Ventures Limited or SuprPlay Limited — and not with Spin Watch House. We hold no funds, process no deposits or withdrawals, and have no access to any account you open. Deposits, withdrawals, verification checks, bonuses, limits and complaints are all matters between you and the operator.
What you should do before clicking
Read the operator’s own terms, particularly anything attached to a promotion. Wagering requirements, game weightings, time limits and maximum withdrawal caps are where the substance of an offer actually lives, and they are not on our site because we will not publish figures we cannot verify. Set your deposit limit at the point of registration rather than later. And if you are not sure the site you are on is licensed, check the register before you deposit rather than after.
