At thesycamoretreelongtown.co.uk, we want to be completely upfront with you: some of the links on this site are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you click through and sign up or deposit at a casino we review. This arrangement never costs you a single penny more — the price you pay, or the bonus you receive, is exactly the same whether you arrive through our link or type the casino address directly into your browser. We believe you deserve to know this before you read a single word of our recommendations.
What Affiliate Links Are
An affiliate link is a specially tracked web address. When you click one of our casino review links, a small piece of data tells the casino that you arrived from thesycamoretreelongtown.co.uk. If you go on to register or deposit, the casino pays us a referral fee. Think of it like a finder's fee paid by the business — not by you. This is a standard and widely used commercial model across the internet, from hotel booking sites to product comparison tools.
How We Earn
The table below explains exactly when and how a commission might be generated, and what it means for your wallet.
| Action | Who Pays | Cost to You |
|---|---|---|
| You click a review link on thesycamoretreelongtown.co.uk | Nobody — a click alone earns nothing | None / £0 |
| You register a new account at a casino | The casino operator pays us a referral fee | None / £0 |
| You make a deposit and play | The casino operator pays us a revenue share or CPA fee | None / £0 |
| You claim a welcome bonus via our link | The casino operator funds the bonus and any commission | None / £0 |
How This Affects Our Reviews
The short answer is: it doesn't. Rankings and review scores at thesycamoretreelongtown.co.uk are not for sale. We do not accept payment from casinos in exchange for higher ratings, more favourable write-ups, or prominent placement on our pages. A casino that pays us a larger commission does not automatically appear higher in our lists. If a casino has poor customer support, confusing bonus terms, or a weak game library, we say so — regardless of the commercial relationship. We believe that honest, critical reviews are the only thing that makes this site worth visiting. Sugarcoating a bad casino to earn a few extra pounds would destroy the trust you place in us, and that trust matters more to us than any affiliate deal.
