How this sheet is paid

1

The arrangement, stated once

Links out to offers are commercial. A reader who follows one and ends up with an account may earn this site a payment.

That payment comes from the operator or from an intermediary acting for one, it costs the reader nothing extra, and it is the only revenue these sheets have. Nothing on this site is a paid placement dressed up as a judgement, and the arrangement is written here rather than buried in a footer.

A reader is entitled to know that before taking anything on these sheets at face value, which is why this page exists at all.

What a payment buys

What a payment buys is a link that works, and the list stops there.

It does not buy a place, an order, a rating, a sentence, a figure, or the omission of a figure. It does not buy the removal of a condition from a schedule, and it does not buy a softer word for a charge.

Order comes out of the same arithmetic as every sheet: money credited, the conditions priced against it, and the remainder at the foot. Nothing a cashier pays alters a credit, a multiple, a return, a weighting or a total, because none of those are in anybody’s gift. A commercial arrangement that could move a figure would make the figure worthless, and a worthless figure is worth less than no figure at all.

The arithmetic itself, and the points at which it gives out, is written up under how a receipt is struck.

A claim that can be tested

A claim of independence is easy to make and hard to test, so here is the test. A method that cannot reach nought is an advertisement with arithmetic printed on it.

This one reaches nought regularly. A credit of £4.80 carrying forty turns keeps £0.00, and the sheet says so in the same type it would use for a positive total. Where the honest answer is that a package is worth nothing, that is the answer printed, and no payment has ever changed one.

A reader who finds a total here that flatters an offer has found a mistake, and the way to deal with it is a correction. The address for that is on write to the sheet.

What stands at the other end of a link

One thing a commercial arrangement cannot soften, so it is put here as plainly as anywhere on the site: the offers reached through these links hold no Great Britain licence.

A cashier outside the British register owes none of the duties the method page sets against it, and the duty worth real money is the ceiling over a multiple. Ten turns on £10.00 of credit leaves £6.00. Forty turns leaves nothing and falls £6.00 short. A licence is the difference between those two lines.

What else is absent is set out duty by duty under off the register, and that is the part of this page worth remembering. That is the honest version of a commercial argument, and it is stronger than pretending the offers are something they are not.

The rules this arrangement sits under

Advertising a promotion carries rules of its own, and they bear on how a page is written and not only on what an operator offers.

Conditions that matter have to be set out clearly and with prominence, in any case where keeping them back would be likely to mislead. The advertising regulator’s own examples of what counts: minimum odds or bet types; a time limit on claiming or using an offer; a deposit or wagering requirement; and an eligibility limit such as age, location, or being a new customer. Each of those appears on a no-deposit offer, which is why this site sets them down as charges instead of footnotes.

Full terms for an advertisement online belong roughly a click from the advertisement itself, and their link may not be tucked into small print or a footer. Where significant conditions are not shown with enough prominence, the regulator’s conclusion is that the advertisement misleads. A promotion should not push repetitive or frequent participation, nor spending beyond what a person can afford to lose.

The British regulator’s advertising page says almost nothing about affiliates. Its one requirement about third parties is that an operator take reasonable steps to see that those it contracts with keep off copyright-infringing websites. Curaçao goes further on paper. There the operator answers for whether its affiliates keep to the responsible gaming standards, and the policy names binding contracts, audits and penalties as how that is to be done.

What will not be done for money

Things that will not be done for money, however the question is put.

The first of those is an advertising rule as well as a house rule, and the last is the one that costs this site the most traffic.

Where a complaint goes

A dispute about money belongs first with the cashier holding it, and a British licensee has to run that process to a timetable and then hand the file to an approved adjudicator.

In its own words the British regulator is no ombudsman: it cannot resolve a gambling complaint, cannot get anybody’s money back, and cannot see inside a customer’s account. Offshore, Curaçao requires adjudication at no cost to the player, the operator bearing it, while allowing the operator to set the parameters, including whether adjudication has to come before any court and whether its outcome binds the player.

A complaint about this site rather than about an offer goes to the address on write to the sheet, and a figure shown to be wrong is corrected with the revision raised. Who draws the sheets, and the sourcing rule they are held to, is on who prints this sheet.
