Tssaware (tssaware.org.uk) is supported by affiliate partnerships with some of the casino operators we review and recommend. This means that when you click certain links on our site and go on to register or play at a casino, we may earn a commission from that operator. We want to be completely upfront about this: you never pay more because of these arrangements — the cost to you is always £0. Our commissions come entirely from the operators, not from your pocket.
What Affiliate Links Are
An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that lets an operator know a visitor arrived via tssaware.org.uk. When you use one of these links, a small cookie is placed in your browser so the casino can attribute any subsequent registration or deposit back to us. This is standard practice across online publishing and is used by thousands of review websites, comparison services, and media outlets. The link does not change the page you land on, the bonus you receive, or any terms attached to your account — you arrive at exactly the same place you would if you had typed the casino address yourself.
How We Earn
Our affiliate income can be triggered at different stages of your journey with an operator. The table below explains each stage clearly so there are no surprises.
| Action | Who Pays | Cost to You |
|---|---|---|
| You click a review or bonus link on tssaware.org.uk | Nobody — clicking is free | None (£0) |
| You register a new account at an operator | The casino operator pays us a referral fee | None (£0) |
| You make a deposit and play | The casino operator may share a percentage of their revenue with us | None (£0) |
| You claim a welcome bonus we highlighted | The casino operator funds the bonus offer | None (£0) |
How This Affects Our Reviews
The short answer is: it does not compromise them. Tssaware maintains full editorial independence. Our rankings are not for sale, and no operator can pay to receive a better score, a higher position in our lists, or a more favourable write-up. If a casino performs poorly on the criteria we test, we say so — regardless of whether we have an affiliate agreement with them. We also review and list casinos with which we have no commercial relationship at all, because our readers deserve a complete picture of the market, not just the partners who pay us.
We believe long-term trust with our audience is worth far more than a short-term commission. Any casino that fails to meet acceptable standards for UK players will be rated accordingly or removed from our recommendations entirely.
Our Review Methodology
Every casino featured on tssaware.org.uk is assessed against a consistent set of criteria before we publish a recommendation. Our process covers:
- Licensing & Regulation — we verify active UK Gambling Commission authorisation and overall compliance record
- Bonuses & Promotions — we assess welcome offers, wagering requirements, and ongoing promotions for fairness and clarity
- Games & Software — we evaluate game variety, software providers, RTP transparency, and mobile performance
- Payments — we check deposit and withdrawal methods, processing times, fee structures, and withdrawal limits
- Customer Support — we test availability, response times, and the quality of help offered across live chat, email, and other channels
FTC & Regulatory Compliance
In accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, and consistent with UK consumer transparency expectations, tssaware.org.uk discloses that it has material financial relationships with some of the casino operators listed on this site. Links marked with an asterisk (*) or described as recommended are affiliate links through which we may earn compensation. This disclosure applies site-wide and covers all pages published on tssaware.org.uk as of 2026.
Your Choice
Using our affiliate links is entirely optional. You are always free to visit any casino operator directly by typing their web address into your browser. You will still have access to the same games, accounts, and promotions — you simply will not be tracked through tssaware.org.uk. We encourage you to make whatever choice feels right for you, and we appreciate your support when you do choose to use our links.
Questions
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships, how we earn, or how we maintain editorial independence, we are happy to hear from you. Please reach out to the tssaware.org.uk editorial team via our contact page and we will respond as promptly as we can.
