Quick answer Online Casino Hub may earn a commission when you sign up with a casino through links on our site. This costs you nothing extra. Commission never decides whether a casino is listed or how it is rated. Only casinos with an active UKGC licence appear in our table.
How do we make money?
Some links on our site are affiliate links. If you click one and open an account with that casino, the casino may pay us a commission. This is how we fund the time spent checking licences, reading terms and keeping pages up to date. We do not charge readers and we do not sell your data.
Does commission affect what we publish?
No. Our process is fixed and applies to every casino in the same way. Commission is kept separate from the licence check, the terms check and the score, and no casino can pay to change any of them.
| Decision | Can commission affect it? | What decides it |
|---|---|---|
| Whether a casino is listed | No | An active casino remote licence on the UKGC register |
| Offer figures we publish | No | The casino’s own terms page, read and dated by us |
| A casino’s score | No | Our six weighted categories, once terms are verified |
| Position in our table | No | Our published method |
| What a review says | No | What we found on primary sources |
| Whether a link is an affiliate link | Yes | Whether we have an arrangement with that casino |
The full method is on our how we rate page.
Do all links earn a commission?
No. Links to the Gambling Commission, gov.uk, support services and many casino pages earn us nothing. Some casino links currently point to the casino’s homepage without any affiliate arrangement. A casino with no arrangement is treated exactly the same as one with an arrangement.
How can you tell if a link is an affiliate link?
Assume any link to a casino may be an affiliate link. Links to regulators, gov.uk and support services such as GamCare, BeGambleAware and GAMSTOP never are. Using an affiliate link does not change the offer or terms you get; those are set by the casino.
Can a casino pay to be listed or reviewed?
No. A casino cannot pay to be listed, to move up our table, to have a review changed or to have an offer described differently. A casino that loses its active licence comes out of our table whatever its commercial arrangement with us. We do not accept paid reviews.
If a casino asks us to change a fact, we check its own terms page or the register. We change the page only if the primary source says something different, and we update the check date.
What should you do before signing up?
Check the casino’s licence, read its own terms, and set a deposit limit. You must be 18 or over. Only sign up if you would have chosen that casino anyway, and never because of a link on our site alone.
- Search the operator on the Gambling Commission public register and confirm the licence is active.
- Read the offer’s significant terms on the casino’s own page, including wagering, expiry and qualifying payment methods.
- Set a deposit limit before your first deposit.
- Only deposit money you can afford to lose.
Our table shows each casino’s licence details and check date, and our bonus pages show which offers we have verified.
Does using our link change the offer you get?
No. The offer and its terms are set by the casino and are the same whether you arrive through our link or go direct. You pay nothing extra. If an offer on the casino’s site differs from our summary, the casino’s own terms apply, and we would like you to tell us.
Why do we tell you this?
Because you should know how a site makes money before you trust what it says. Being open about commission, and showing the method behind every rating, lets you judge our work for yourself. If anything here is unclear, ask us through our contact page.

Your questions, answered
Do you earn money when I sign up to a casino?
We may. Some casino links are affiliate links, and the casino may pay us a commission if you open an account. It costs you nothing extra and the offer terms are the same as going direct. Links to regulators and support services never earn us anything.
Can a casino pay for a higher position?
No. Listing depends on an active UKGC casino remote licence, offer figures come from the casino's own terms, and scores use our six weighted categories. No casino can pay to be listed, move up our table or change a review.
Should I sign up just because of your link?
No. Check the licence on the UKGC register, read the casino's own terms, set a deposit limit and only deposit what you can afford to lose. You must be 18 or over. If gambling stops being fun, call the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133.
