Blokout (blokout.co.uk) is a free, independent review website. To keep the lights on and the content free for you, some of the links on our pages are affiliate links — meaning we may earn a commission if you click through and sign up or deposit at one of the casinos we recommend. This never costs you a single penny more. The price of any bonus, deposit, or wagering requirement is exactly the same whether you arrive through our link or type the casino's address directly into your browser.
What Affiliate Links Are
An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that tells a casino operator that a visitor arrived via our website. When you click one of these links and go on to complete certain actions — such as registering an account or making a deposit — the casino pays Blokout a referral fee. This is a standard commercial arrangement used across the online publishing industry, from travel comparison sites to technology reviews. The tracking is entirely on the casino's side; we do not install additional tracking software on your device beyond what is described in our Privacy Policy.

How This Affects Our Reviews
The short answer: it doesn't — and that is a deliberate, non-negotiable policy at Blokout.
Rankings and review scores on blokout.co.uk are not for sale. No casino can pay us to rank higher, receive a better score, or have a negative finding removed from a review. We have turned down commercial arrangements with operators whose products did not meet our standards, and we will continue to do so. If a casino we feature later changes its terms or behaviour in a way that harms players, we update or remove our recommendation regardless of any existing commercial relationship.
We are transparent about this policy because we believe you deserve to know exactly how a site earns its income before you decide how much weight to give its advice.

FTC & Regulatory Compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's Endorsement Guidelines (16 CFR Part 255) and broader international standards for online advertising transparency, Blokout discloses that material connections exist between this website and the casino operators featured on it. Where affiliate relationships exist, this disclosure applies site-wide. Individual review pages may also carry a short inline disclosure notice. We believe honest disclosure builds trust — and trust is the foundation of everything we publish at blokout.co.uk.
