Bristolideal (casinoleeds.co.uk) is free to use because some of the casino links on our site are affiliate links. That means if you click through to an operator and go on to register or deposit, we may earn a commission from that casino. This arrangement never costs you anything extra — you pay exactly the same as any other player, and in many cases you'll access the same welcome offers you would find going directly to the site. We believe you deserve to know this upfront, so here it is in plain English.
What Affiliate Links Are
An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that tells a casino's system you arrived from casinoleeds.co.uk. Think of it like a referral from a friend — the casino knows who sent you, and if you choose to sign up and play, they reward us for the introduction. The technology behind it is a simple tracking cookie or redirect code; there is nothing hidden in the page or installed on your device. You remain in complete control of every step.
How We Earn
The table below shows exactly when money changes hands — and confirms that at every stage the cost to you is zero.
| Action | Who Pays | Cost to You |
|---|---|---|
| You click a review link on casinoleeds.co.uk | Nobody — no payment triggered | None |
| You create a free account at a listed casino | The casino operator pays us a small referral fee | £0 |
| You make a first deposit and play | The casino may pay us a revenue-share commission based on their margin | £0 |
| You claim a welcome bonus through our link | The casino funds the bonus; we may receive a commission | £0 — bonus terms set by the casino |
Commission structures vary by operator. We work with both CPA (cost-per-acquisition) and revenue-share models, but in every case the financial relationship is between us and the casino — not between us and you.
How This Affects Our Reviews
The honest answer is: it shouldn't, and we work hard to make sure it doesn't. Rankings on casinoleeds.co.uk are not for sale. No casino can pay to appear higher in our Leeds casino recommendations or receive a more favourable score. We have turned down partnerships with operators that did not meet our standards, and we will continue to do so. If a casino earns a poor rating from our team, that rating is published — even if that casino is a paying partner. Our reputation with you, the reader, is worth more to us than any single commission.

FTC & Regulatory Compliance
In accordance with the FTC's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials and applicable UK consumer transparency requirements, casinoleeds.co.uk discloses all material connections to the operators featured on this site. Where a link may generate revenue for us, it should be considered a sponsored or affiliate link. This disclosure page, along with inline notices on relevant pages, satisfies our obligation to be transparent about these relationships.
Your Choice
You are under no obligation to use our links. Every casino we review can be found by searching directly online or by visiting the operator's own website. If you prefer to go directly — for any reason — please do. Our reviews are here to help you make an informed decision; how you act on that information is entirely up to you.
