Globegardens (globegardens.co.uk) is a free resource for players in Great Britain looking for honest casino reviews and bonus recommendations. To keep the site running at no charge to you, we earn a commission from some of the casino operators we feature — but here is the important part: you never pay anything extra. Our commission comes entirely from the operator, not from your pocket. We believe you deserve to know this upfront, so we have written this page in plain language rather than buried it in fine print.
What Affiliate Links Are
When you click a link on globegardens.co.uk that takes you to a casino website, that link may contain a unique tracking code. This code tells the operator that you arrived via Globegardens. If you then choose to register or play, the operator may pay us a small referral fee. This is a standard arrangement in online publishing — similar to how a price-comparison site or a travel review blog works. The link looks and behaves exactly like any other link; the only difference is that it carries our referral tag behind the scenes.
How We Earn
The table below shows exactly what triggers a payment to us, who pays it, and what it costs you at each stage.
| Action | Who Pays Globegardens | Cost to You |
|---|---|---|
| You click a review or casino link on our site | Nobody — clicks alone pay nothing | £0 |
| You create a new player account at an operator | The casino operator (one-off referral fee) | None |
| You make a deposit and play real-money games | The casino operator (revenue-share or CPA) | None — standard deposit amounts apply regardless |
| You claim a welcome bonus through our link | The casino operator | None — bonus terms are set by the operator, not by us |
How This Affects Our Reviews
The short answer is: it does not change our ratings. Rankings on globegardens.co.uk are not for sale. A casino cannot pay us to receive a higher score, appear at the top of a list, or have negative findings removed from a review. We have turned down partnership requests from operators whose products we did not feel confident recommending to our readers. Our editorial team scores each casino independently, and a commercial relationship is only ever considered after a site has met our quality threshold — not before. If we have a commercial arrangement with an operator, you will see standard affiliate link behaviour; if we do not, any link we include is still there because we think it is useful to you.
Our Review Methodology
Every casino reviewed on globegardens.co.uk is assessed against the following criteria before we publish our findings:
- Licensing & Safety — valid UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) licence and responsible gambling tools
- Bonuses & Promotions — fairness of wagering requirements, clarity of terms, and real player value
- Game Library — variety of slots, table games, and live-dealer titles from reputable software providers
- Payments — available deposit and withdrawal methods, processing times, and fee transparency
- Customer Support — responsiveness, available channels (live chat, email), and quality of assistance
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, Globegardens discloses that this website contains affiliate links from which we may receive compensation. This disclosure applies site-wide. Individual reviews and comparison pages may also carry an in-content notice as an additional reminder. We are committed to ensuring that our commercial relationships are always clearly communicated and never mislead our readers.
Your Choice
Using our affiliate links is entirely optional. You are always free to visit any casino operator directly by typing their address into your browser, without going through globegardens.co.uk. You will not receive a worse experience or fewer features by doing so. We provide our reviews and recommendations as a convenience — the final decision is always yours.
