At Coubertin Awards (coubertin-awards.org.uk), we believe you deserve to know exactly how this site works. Some of the links you find on our pages are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you click through and take a qualifying action with one of the casino operators we recommend. This arrangement comes at absolutely no extra cost to you — you pay exactly the same as you would going directly to the operator. The commissions we receive help us keep coubertin-awards.org.uk running, fund independent research, and produce the honest fortune casino reviews you rely on.
What Affiliate Links Are
An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL. When you click one of these links on coubertin-awards.org.uk, a small piece of data (usually a cookie) is stored in your browser so that the casino operator knows the visit originated from us. If you go on to register or deposit, the operator pays us a referral fee. The link looks and behaves exactly like a normal web link — there is no redirect delay, no pop-up, and no hidden charge passed on to you.
Not every link on our site is an affiliate link. We also reference regulators, responsible gambling organisations, and third-party resources without any commercial arrangement in place.
How We Earn
The table below shows the typical ways a commission can be generated and — critically — what each step costs you:
| Action | Who Pays | Cost to You |
|---|---|---|
| You click a review link on coubertin-awards.org.uk | No payment triggered yet | None |
| You create a new account at a recommended casino | Operator may pay a small referral fee | £0 |
| You make a first deposit and play | Operator pays us a revenue-share or CPA commission | £0 |
| You claim a welcome bonus through our link | Operator covers the bonus cost and our commission | £0 |
Commission structures vary by operator and are negotiated separately from our editorial team. Our content writers are never told the commission rate for any individual casino.
How This Affects Our Reviews
The short answer: it does not. Rankings and recommendations on coubertin-awards.org.uk are not for sale. We do not allow operators to pay for higher scores, more favourable wording, or preferential placement in our best-of lists. A casino that pays us a higher commission rate does not receive a better review as a result.
We have deliberately separated our commercial partnerships team from our editorial team. Reviewers assess every casino against the same fixed criteria regardless of any affiliate relationship. If a casino fails our standards — for example, because it holds no valid UK Gambling Commission licence — it will not appear in our recommendations, full stop.
Our Review Methodology
Every fortune casino featured on coubertin-awards.org.uk is evaluated across the following areas:
- Licensing & Regulation — valid UKGC licence, compliance history, and responsible gambling tools
- Bonuses & Promotions — fairness of wagering requirements, clarity of terms, and genuine value
- Game Selection — breadth of slots, table games, and live dealer options from reputable software providers
- Payments — speed and reliability of withdrawals, accepted methods, and fee transparency
- Customer Support — availability, response times, and quality of assistance across channels
FTC & Regulatory Compliance
In line with the Federal Trade Commission's Endorsement Guidelines and the UK's Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) rules, coubertin-awards.org.uk discloses all material connections between this site and the operators we review. Where affiliate links appear within content, they may also be individually labelled. This disclosure page serves as our site-wide statement of that relationship. We are committed to transparency because it is both the legal requirement and the right thing to do.
Your Choice
You are always free to visit any casino operator directly by typing their address into your browser. You are under no obligation to use links from coubertin-awards.org.uk, and doing so will never disadvantage you financially. Our goal is simply to save you research time — if you find our reviews useful, we hope you will use our links, but it is entirely your decision.
