Advertising Disclosure

How this website earns money, what that pays for, and the line commission is not allowed to cross.

The short version

Zinvorex is funded by affiliate commission. When a reader opens an account with an operator through a link on this website, that operator may pay us a fee. It costs you nothing extra, it does not change the offer or the terms you are given, and it has no effect on the score we publish. Every commercial link on this website is marked as an advertising link and carries the rel="sponsored nofollow" attribute.

Why we tell you this so prominently

Because you cannot judge a review without knowing who paid for it. A comparison website that hides its funding is asking you to trust a conflict of interest you cannot see. We would rather show you ours and let you weigh it.

What we are paid, and by whom

We have commercial arrangements with the operators, or the affiliate networks representing the operators, behind the brands in our archive. Payment is typically one of the following:

  • Cost per acquisition — a one-off fee when a reader registers and funds an account;
  • Revenue share — a percentage of the operator's net revenue from readers who arrive via this website;
  • A hybrid of the two.

We are not paid for a page view, and we are not paid a bonus for a favourable review. No operator has editorial approval over anything published here, and no operator sees a review before publication.

What commission cannot buy

Can a partner…Answer
Buy a higher score?No. Scores come from our eight-measure model only.
Buy a higher position in the archive?No. Order follows the weighted score.
Have a criticism removed?No. Every review publishes what we disliked.
See a review before it is published?No.
Be listed without a verified UKGC licence?No. No licence, no entry — at any price.
Correct a factual error we made?Yes — as can any reader. Accuracy is not a favour.

Where commission actually goes

Reviewing brands properly costs money. Commission pays for the funded accounts we deposit into at our own expense, the withdrawals we test, the staff time spent reading terms documents line by line, and the hosting that keeps this website fast and available. We take no payment from readers and we run no advertising slots, pop-up promotions or interstitials, because those degrade the experience of the person the website is supposed to serve.

How to spot a commercial link

Commercial links are labelled. Any button that sends you to an operator is marked "Visit [brand]" and sits directly above the line "18+ · Advertising link · Terms apply · begambleaware.org". Technically, each one is tagged rel="sponsored nofollow" and routed through a transparent, single-hop redirect at /visit/<brand> so the destination is auditable. We use no cloaking, no misleading redirect chains and no auto-redirects.

Editorial links — to the Gambling Commission, to GamStop, to BeGambleAware, to Gamblers Anonymous, to GamCare — are never commercial. We have never been paid, and would not accept payment, to link to a support organisation.

Our independence in practice

Two examples from the current archive. We publish that one partner brand leaves live chat unstaffed between midnight and 08:00, and that the other imposes a 40x wagering requirement with a seven-day expiry that we openly describe as short. Both statements cost us money. Both are still on the page.

Advertising standards

We aim to comply with the UK Code of Non-broadcast Advertising and Direct & Promotional Marketing (the CAP Code) and the Gambling Commission's guidance on marketing. In practice this means: everything is clearly labelled 18+; nothing is presented as a way to make money, escape problems or solve debt; no content is designed to appeal to children or young people; no claim suggests that gambling improves self-image, popularity or success; and any offer described here is accompanied by its significant conditions.

Accuracy of offers

Offers and terms change frequently and without notice. Everything published here was accurate on the review date shown, but the operator's own terms always take priority. Read them before you opt in. If you find something out of date on this website, tell us and we will correct it — usually the same week.
