Affiliate Disclosure

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Thamesteel (thamesteel.co.uk), we believe that every reader deserves complete honesty about how this website operates and how it generates revenue. This Affiliate Disclosure page explains the financial relationships we maintain with casino operators, and how those relationships do and do not influence the content you read here.

This disclosure is provided in accordance with the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) guidelines, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulations, and general best practices for transparent affiliate marketing.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Some of the links on thamesteel.co.uk are affiliate links. This means that when you click on a link to a casino or gambling operator featured on this site and subsequently register an account, make a deposit, or complete another qualifying action, Thamesteel may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator at no additional cost to you.

Here is how the process works in simple terms:

• You click a link on thamesteel.co.uk pointing to a casino operator.
• A tracking cookie or unique referral code records that you arrived via our website.
• If you complete a qualifying action, such as signing up or depositing, the operator pays Thamesteel a commission.
• You pay nothing extra as a result of this arrangement.

Which Operators Have Affiliate Relationships?

Thamesteel maintains affiliate partnerships with a number of non-UK casino operators reviewed and recommended on this site. Where an affiliate relationship exists, we aim to make this clear with an appropriate label or notice near the relevant links or at the top of the relevant review page. However, please treat all outbound links to casino operators on this site as potentially carrying an affiliate relationship unless stated otherwise.

Does This Affect Our Reviews or Recommendations?

No. The existence of an affiliate relationship with an operator does not influence the editorial content, scores, or conclusions published on thamesteel.co.uk. All reviews are researched, written, and assessed independently by Richard Thornley, the owner and lead reviewer of this website.

Richard Thornley applies a consistent, structured review methodology to every casino assessed on this site, regardless of whether an affiliate agreement is in place. That methodology includes evaluation of the following criteria:

• Licensing and regulatory status — who licenses the operator and what protections are offered to players.
• Security and fairness — encryption standards, RNG certification, and auditing by independent bodies.
• Bonus terms and conditions — wagering requirements, maximum withdrawal limits, and overall player-friendliness.
• Game library and software quality — breadth of content, software providers, and mobile compatibility.
• Payment methods and withdrawal speeds — available deposit and withdrawal options and realistic processing times.
• Customer support — availability, response quality, and channel options.
• Player complaints and reputation — third-party feedback and any recorded disputes with players.

Operators that do not meet Thamesteel's standards are rated poorly or are not recommended, regardless of their affiliate status. An affiliate partnership does not guarantee a positive review or a recommendation to readers.
