Chavplate (chavplate.org.uk) is reader-supported. Some of the links on our site are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you click through and sign up or deposit at a casino we have reviewed. This commission comes entirely from the operator — it never costs you a single penny more. We believe you deserve to know exactly how this works, so here is everything laid out as clearly as we can make it.
What Affiliate Links Are
An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL. When you click one of our review links, a small piece of data (usually a cookie) tells the casino that you arrived via chavplate.org.uk. If you then go on to register or deposit, the casino pays us a referral fee. The link looks and behaves exactly like a normal link — there is no pop-up, no redirect maze, and no hidden charge passed on to you.
Affiliate marketing is a standard and widely accepted way for review websites to fund their work. It allows us to keep all of our content free to read, with no paywalls or subscription fees.
How We Earn
The table below breaks down the most common scenarios and makes it crystal clear who pays and what it costs you.

| You claim a welcome bonus via our link | The casino operator covers the bonus and our commission | £0 |
How This Affects Our Reviews
The short answer is: it does not. Rankings and recommendations on chavplate.org.uk are not for sale. No operator can pay to appear higher in our lists, receive a more favourable star rating, or have negative findings removed from a review. Our editorial team assesses every casino independently and publishes findings honestly — including the bad stuff.
We do sometimes earn more commission from certain operators than others. We will never let that financial difference influence how we score or describe a casino. If a high-paying operator has poor customer support or an unfair bonus structure, we say so. Our long-term reputation depends on you being able to trust what you read here, and that matters far more to us than any single affiliate deal.
Our Review Methodology
Every casino featured on this site is assessed against the same set of criteria before any recommendation is made:

- Game Library — breadth of slots, table games, live dealer options, and software providers.
- Banking & Payments — available deposit and withdrawal methods, processing times, and any fees.
- Customer Support — responsiveness, available channels, and quality of assistance.
- Responsible Gambling Tools — deposit limits, self-exclusion options, and GamStop integration.
FTC & Regulatory Compliance
In accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, and consistent with UK consumer transparency standards, chavplate.org.uk discloses all material connections to the operators it reviews. Where an affiliate relationship exists, it is disclosed clearly on the relevant page. This disclosure page applies site-wide and was last updated in 2026.
Your Choice
You are under absolutely no obligation to use our affiliate links. Every casino we review can be found by searching directly in your browser. If you prefer to visit an operator without going through chavplate.org.uk, please do so — we would rather you make the right choice for yourself than feel pressured to use our link.
