At Brettfoundation (brettfoundation.org.uk), we want to be upfront with you from the start: some of the links on our site are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you click through and sign up or deposit at a casino we have reviewed. This commission comes entirely from the operator — it never costs you a single penny more. We believe you deserve to know exactly how this works, so this page lays it all out in plain English.
What Affiliate Links Are
An affiliate link is a specially tracked web address that tells a casino operator you arrived via brettfoundation.org.uk. When you use one of these links to visit a Wigan casino or any operator we cover, that casino's software records the referral. If you go on to register or play, the operator pays us a small fee as a thank-you for the introduction. This is a standard, widely used arrangement across the online publishing industry and is fully transparent and legal in Great Britain.
How We Earn
The table below shows the different stages at which a commission might be triggered, who foots the bill, and what the cost is to you as a player.
| Action | Who Pays | Cost to You |
|---|---|---|
| You click a review link on brettfoundation.org.uk | No payment at this stage | None — £0 |
| You register a new account at an operator | The casino operator | None — £0 |
| You make a deposit and play | The casino operator | None — £0 |
| You claim a welcome bonus via our link | The casino operator | None — £0 |
The commission we receive comes out of the operator's marketing budget, not your bankroll. Bonuses and promotions available through our links are the same as, or sometimes better than, what you would find going directly to an operator's homepage.
How This Affects Our Reviews
Short answer: it doesn't — and here's why you can trust that. At Brettfoundation, our editorial positions are not for sale. No casino can pay us to receive a higher rating, a more favourable headline, or a place at the top of a list. Our team researches and scores every Wigan casino review independently, and operators are ranked on merit alone. If a casino scores poorly on safety, fairness, or player experience, we say so — regardless of any commercial relationship. We will also update or remove listings when operators no longer meet our standards.
Our Review Methodology
Every casino reviewed on brettfoundation.org.uk is assessed against the following criteria:

- Game Selection — slots, live dealer tables, and other titles are assessed for variety and quality.
- Payment Methods — we check deposit and withdrawal options, processing times, and any associated fees.
- Customer Support — availability, responsiveness, and quality of help channels are tested directly.
- Responsible Gambling Tools — we verify that operators provide deposit limits, self-exclusion, and GamStop integration.
