Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: January 2026

Hobgoods (hobgoods.com) is committed to transparency and compliance with all applicable regulations, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials. This page explains our affiliate relationships and how they work.

What This Website Does

Hobgoods provides independent reviews and recommendations of online casinos operating in the UK market. Our founder and lead reviewer, James Wilson, evaluates casinos based on rigorous testing, player safety, game selection, licensing credentials, and overall user experience. We are not affiliated with any casino operator as an ownership partner or subsidiary.

Our Affiliate Relationships

Hobgoods earns affiliate commissions when you click certain links on our website and subsequently open an account or make a deposit at an online casino operator. These affiliate relationships allow us to sustain our operations and continue providing free, in-depth casino reviews to our readers.

How Affiliate Links Work

When you click a link to a casino operator from Hobgoods, you are directed to that operator's website through a unique tracking link. If you then register an account or deposit funds, the operator's affiliate program credits Hobgoods with a commission. You pay nothing extra—your costs remain identical whether you access the casino directly or through our link. The commission is paid by the operator, not by you.

Which Links Are Affiliate Links?

Any link on Hobgoods that directs you to a casino operator's website and could generate a commission is an affiliate link. These links are clearly marked throughout our site to ensure complete transparency. We never disguise affiliate links or attempt to conceal our commercial relationships.

Editorial Independence and Integrity

Our affiliate relationships do not compromise the independence or objectivity of our reviews. James Wilson maintains strict editorial standards:

• Reviews are conducted impartially and based solely on the quality and safety of each casino
• No casino operator pays for positive reviews or placement on our site
• We do not adjust ratings or recommendations based on affiliate commission rates
• Casinos with higher commission structures do not receive preferential treatment
• We review and recommend only casinos we genuinely believe offer fair, secure, and entertaining experiences

Our reputation and credibility depend entirely on the accuracy and honesty of our assessments. We would not compromise this trust for short-term financial gain.

Our Review Methodology

Every casino reviewed on Hobgoods undergoes comprehensive testing by James Wilson, including:

• Verification of UK Gambling Commission licensing and regulatory compliance
• Testing of account registration and identity verification processes
• Evaluation of game variety, software providers, and RTP (Return to Player) percentages
• Assessment of customer support quality and responsiveness
• Review of banking options, withdrawal speeds, and security protocols
• Analysis of terms and conditions, bonus terms, and player protection measures

Only casinos meeting our strict safety and quality standards receive recommendations on Hobgoods, regardless of affiliate commission potential.
