At Carminish, honesty is the foundation of everything we publish. This page explains exactly how our website earns revenue, how that revenue model works, and why it does not compromise the integrity or independence of any review, rating, or recommendation produced by James Wilson or the Carminish editorial team.
We encourage every visitor to read this disclosure carefully before using any link or acting on any recommendation found on carminish.com.
Some of the links on Carminish are affiliate links. This means that when you click a link to a betting operator or casino featured on this site and subsequently register an account or make a qualifying deposit, Carminish may receive a commission payment from that operator. This commission is paid by the operator and comes at no additional cost to you whatsoever.
Affiliate links look and function identically to standard hyperlinks. The only difference is that a unique tracking code is embedded in the URL, which allows the operator to identify that your visit originated from Carminish. No personal data beyond standard web analytics is collected through this process.
Carminish maintains affiliate partnerships with a number of betting sites and online casinos operating outside of GamStop. These partnerships may involve one or more of the following commission structures:
The existence of an affiliate relationship does not guarantee that an operator will be reviewed positively, recommended, or featured on Carminish at all. Operators that do not meet our standards are declined or receive critical assessments regardless of any commercial arrangement.
All reviews, ratings, comparisons, and recommendations published on Carminish are produced independently by James Wilson. No operator has any editorial influence, approval rights, or ability to alter the content of any review before or after publication. Affiliate commissions never determine how an operator is scored, ranked, or described.
James Wilson has spent several years analysing the UK gambling market, with a specific focus on betting sites operating outside the GamStop self-exclusion scheme. His assessments are based on direct testing, verified data, and ongoing monitoring of operator performance — not on the value of any commercial relationship.
Every operator reviewed on Carminish is evaluated against a consistent set of criteria, including but not limited to:
Scores are applied using a fixed rubric that is applied uniformly across all operators. An operator with a high commission rate receives no scoring advantage over one that pays a lower rate or no commission at all.
In accordance with the guidelines of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and standard UK consumer transparency best practices, Carminish clearly discloses all material connections between this website and any third-party operator. Any page featuring affiliate links is published with the understanding that the reader is entitled to know about any financial relationship that could reasonably influence a recommendation.
If you have any questions about how Carminish earns revenue, how our review process works, or any other matter covered in this disclosure, please contact James Wilson directly through the contact page at carminish.com. We are committed to providing clear and complete answers to any transparency-related enquiry.
