Affinarit is run from a flat above a printer\u2019s in Edinburgh. We are not employed by any operator listed on this site, and we do not accept payment for placement in the dossier. We do, in line with the statutory disclosure at the foot of every page, earn a commission when a reader registers an account through one of our outbound links \u2014 this is the affiliate model that pays for the publication, and it is the same model used by most editorial comparison sites in the United Kingdom. It does not influence the ratings.
Every operator in the dossier holds a current remote licence with the UK Gambling Commission. We verify each licence number by hand against the Commission\u2019s public register, and we link to that register from every page so the reader can do the same. When a licence status changes, the entry is updated within seven working days.
We do not publish bonus amounts. Real terms are updated frequently by operators, and a specific figure printed on a third-party site becomes misleading the moment the operator changes it. We describe the type of offer in general terms and point the reader to the operator\u2019s own promotions page for the live small print.
We assume the reader is a competent adult who is choosing where to play. The job of the dossier is to set down what each operator actually offers \u2014 the licence, the ownership, the product, the payments, the responsible-gambling furniture \u2014 and to do so in the same shape for every operator. The reader does the rest.
