Trytheotherguy.co.uk is free to use, and we want to be completely upfront about how we keep it that way. Some of the links on this site are affiliate links, which means that if you click through to an operator and take certain actions — like registering or making a deposit — we may earn a commission from that casino. This never costs you a single penny more. You pay exactly the same amounts, get exactly the same bonuses, and receive exactly the same experience whether you arrive through our link or type the casino's address directly into your browser. We simply wanted you to know.
What Affiliate Links Are
An affiliate link is a specially tracked web address that tells an online casino or gambling operator that a particular visitor came from trytheotherguy.co.uk. This tracking is handled through a small piece of data attached to the URL. When an operator confirms that a referred visitor has completed an agreed action, they pay us a commission as a thank-you for the referral. This is a standard, widely used arrangement across the internet — from travel sites to technology reviews. In the gambling industry it is regulated and openly practised by thousands of publishers in Great Britain and beyond.
How We Earn
The table below explains precisely which actions can result in a commission payment to us, who actually pays that commission, and what — if anything — it costs you.
| Action | Who Pays the Commission | Cost to You |
|---|---|---|
| You click a review or bonus link on our site | Nobody — clicking alone does not trigger a payment | £0 |
| You register a new account with an operator | The casino operator | None |
| You make a qualifying deposit and play | The casino operator (from their marketing budget) | £0 — your deposit amount is unaffected |
| You claim a welcome bonus through our link | The casino operator | None — the bonus value to you stays the same |
How This Affects Our Reviews
The short answer is: it does not. Rankings and recommendations on trytheotherguy.co.uk are not for sale. No casino can pay us to appear higher in a list, receive a more favourable write-up, or have a negative finding removed from a review. Our editorial team assesses every midnight casino on its own merits using a consistent methodology. If a casino performs poorly, we say so — even if that means fewer commissions for us. We believe that honest, reader-first content is the only sustainable way to build a site worth visiting, and we are not willing to compromise that for short-term revenue.
Our Review Methodology
Every casino featured on trytheotherguy.co.uk is evaluated against the same set of criteria before we publish a verdict. These include:
- Licensing and regulation — we verify that each operator holds a valid licence from the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) or another recognised authority.
- Bonuses and promotions — welcome offers, wagering requirements, and ongoing deals are examined for fairness and transparency.
- Games and software — we assess the breadth of the game library, software provider quality, and mobile compatibility.
- Payments — deposit and withdrawal options, processing times, and any associated fees are reviewed in full.
- Customer support — we test response times and the quality of support across live chat, email, and any other available channels.
- Responsible gambling tools — we check for the presence of deposit limits, self-exclusion options, and links to support organisations.
FTC & Regulatory Compliance
In accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, and consistent with the advertising transparency standards expected in Great Britain, trytheotherguy.co.uk discloses all material connections between this site and the operators it reviews. Where a financial relationship exists — such as an affiliate commission arrangement — that relationship is disclosed clearly on this page and, where relevant, within individual reviews. We are committed to meeting both the letter and the spirit of applicable disclosure requirements.
Your Choice
Using our affiliate links is entirely optional. You are always free to visit any casino operator directly by searching for them independently or typing their address into your browser. We will never pressure you to click through our links, and our opinion of a casino does not change based on whether you use our link or not. We just hope that the reviews and information on trytheotherguy.co.uk make your decision a little easier — however you choose to get there.
