Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 2026. This disclosure applies to all content published on thiscandy.com and has been prepared by site owner and lead reviewer James Wilson in accordance with applicable advertising standards, including guidelines set by the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), and the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

Our Relationship With Betting Operators

Thiscandy is a professional review and comparison website dedicated to helping UK bettors find the best betting sites available. To fund the research, writing, and maintenance of this website, thiscandy.com participates in affiliate marketing programmes operated by licensed UK betting sites and online casinos.

This means that when you click certain links on thiscandy.com and subsequently register an account or make a deposit with a betting operator, thiscandy.com may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator. This payment comes at no additional cost to you as the user. You will never pay more for a product or service because you arrived via a link on this website.

What Are Affiliate Links?

An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that identifies thiscandy.com as the source of a referral to a third-party website. When you use one of these links, the operator's tracking system records that you came from thiscandy.com, and if you complete a qualifying action, a commission may be generated for this site.

Affiliate links on thiscandy.com may appear in the following formats:

Buttons labelled "Visit Site", "Claim Offer", or similar calls to action
Text links within review articles and comparison tables
Promotional banners featuring betting site offers
Links within recommended lists or top-rated operator selections

Editorial Independence and Objectivity

The existence of affiliate relationships does not influence the editorial content published on thiscandy.com. James Wilson conducts all reviews independently, applying a consistent methodology to every betting site assessed on this platform. Operators cannot pay to receive a higher rating, a more favourable review, or preferential placement in any ranking on this website.

Thiscandy.com may publish critical, neutral, or negative reviews of betting sites regardless of whether an affiliate relationship exists. If a site has significant drawbacks, those drawbacks will be clearly communicated to readers.
