Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 2026 | Besthoods (besthoods.co.uk) | Author: James Whitfield

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Besthoods, we believe you deserve to know exactly how this website operates and how it generates revenue. This page explains our affiliate relationships in plain, straightforward language so you can make fully informed decisions about the content you read here.

Please read this disclosure carefully before using any links or recommendations found on besthoods.co.uk.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Some of the links on Besthoods are affiliate links. This means that when you click on a link to a betting site or casino operator featured on this website and subsequently register an account or make a deposit, Besthoods may receive a financial commission from that operator.

This commission comes at no additional cost to you whatsoever. You will never pay more by using our links. In many cases, our affiliate partnerships allow us to negotiate exclusive welcome offers and bonuses that benefit our readers directly.

How Affiliate Relationships Work

When you click an outbound link to a betting site featured on besthoods.co.uk, a small tracking cookie is placed in your browser. This cookie allows the operator to identify that you arrived via Besthoods. If you go on to register and deposit, the operator records this and pays Besthoods a commission, which may be structured as:

A one-time flat fee per referred player
A percentage of net gaming revenue generated by referred players
A combination of both, depending on the individual operator agreement

Besthoods currently holds affiliate agreements with a number of betting operators and casinos that accept UK players and operate outside the GamStop self-exclusion scheme.

Does This Affect Our Reviews and Recommendations?

No. Our affiliate relationships have absolutely no influence over our editorial content, ratings, or recommendations.

Every review published on Besthoods is researched, written, and edited independently by James Whitfield. Operators are never permitted to pay for positive coverage, request changes to review scores, or influence the editorial process in any way. If an operator falls short of acceptable standards, it will be rated accordingly, regardless of any existing commercial relationship.

We reserve the right to publish negative reviews, issue warnings about unsafe operators, and recommend alternatives — even when doing so may cost us affiliate revenue.

Our Review Methodology

James Whitfield evaluates each betting site and casino using a consistent, structured methodology designed to give UK players an honest picture of each operator. Key factors assessed in every review include:

Licensing and safety — where the operator is licensed and what player protections are in place
Payment methods — availability of UK-friendly deposit and withdrawal options, and processing speeds
Bonus terms — wagering requirements, maximum bet limits, and overall fairness of promotional offers
Game selection — range, quality, and software providers available to UK players
Customer support — responsiveness, availability, and quality of support channels
User experience — site and mobile usability, registration process, and overall design

Ratings are assigned based on this combined assessment, not on the commercial value of any affiliate agreement.
