At Rslounge (rslounge.co.uk), we are committed to being upfront with you about how this website works. Some of the links you find on our pages are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you click through and take a qualifying action with an operator — such as registering an account or making a deposit. Importantly, this never costs you a single penny more. You pay exactly the same as you would if you visited an operator directly. Our goal is simply to help you find the best lucky casino experiences in the UK, and earning a commission allows us to keep this resource free, independent, and regularly updated.
What Affiliate Links Are
An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that tells a casino or gaming operator that you arrived via rslounge.co.uk. When you click one of these links and complete a specific action on the operator's website, the operator pays us a referral fee. This is a standard, widely used practice across publishing and review websites. The tracking is handled entirely on the operator's side — no personal data about you is shared with us as part of this process, and the link does not alter the product, price, or terms you receive from the operator in any way.
How We Earn
The table below breaks down the typical actions that can generate a commission for Rslounge, who pays us, and — most importantly — what it costs you.
| Action | Who Pays Rslounge | Cost to You |
|---|---|---|
| You click a review link to visit a casino | No payment at this stage | None — £0 |
| You register a free account with an operator | The casino operator | None — £0 |
| You make your first deposit and play | The casino operator (revenue share or CPA) | None — £0 |
| You claim a welcome bonus via our link | The casino operator | None — £0 |
Commission structures vary by operator. We may receive a one-time payment per referred player, a percentage of net revenue generated over time, or a hybrid of both. These arrangements are agreed privately between Rslounge and each operator and do not influence the bonus amounts or terms available to you.
How This Affects Our Reviews
The short answer is: it doesn't — and we mean that. Rankings on rslounge.co.uk are not for sale. No operator can pay to appear higher in our lists, receive a better star rating, or have a negative finding removed from a review. We apply the same assessment criteria to every casino we cover, regardless of whether we have an affiliate relationship with them. If a casino scores poorly on safety, fairness, or player experience, we say so clearly. Our readers' trust matters far more to us than any individual commission.
