At irenesettino.com, we believe in being completely upfront with you. Some of the links you find 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 recommend. Importantly, this never costs you a single penny more — any bonus or offer you see is exactly the same whether you arrive via our link or type the casino's address directly into your browser. We simply receive a fee from the operator for sending them a new customer.
What Affiliate Links Are
An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that tells a casino operator's system that a visitor arrived from irenesettino.com. Think of it like a referral — similar to a friend recommending a restaurant and getting a voucher as a thank-you. When you use one of our links, the casino records the referral in their system. No personal data beyond a standard browser cookie is involved in that tracking, and the experience you receive on the casino's site is completely identical to that of any other new player.
How We Earn

| You claim a welcome bonus via our link | The casino operator covers any promotional cost | None — £0 |
How This Affects Our Reviews
The honest answer is: it does not affect them. irenesettino.com maintains full editorial independence. Our review scores, rankings, and recommendations are determined entirely by our assessment criteria — not by commission rates, advertising agreements, or operator relationships. We do not accept payment to improve a casino's position in our listings, and we do not suppress negative findings because we have a commercial relationship with an operator. If a casino has slow withdrawals, unclear bonus terms, or weak customer support, we say so plainly. Our readers in Great Britain trust us to give them accurate information, and that trust matters far more to us than any individual affiliate fee.
Our Review Methodology
Every casino featured on irenesettino.com is assessed against the same set of criteria before we publish any recommendation:
- Licensing and regulation — we only cover casinos holding a valid UK Gambling Commission licence
- Bonus terms and fairness — wagering requirements, time limits, and eligible games are examined in full
- Game library and software providers — range, quality, and availability of slots, table games, and live dealer titles
- Payment methods and withdrawal speeds — deposit options, processing times, and any fees charged
- Customer support — responsiveness, available channels, and quality of assistance tested directly
- Responsible gambling tools — deposit limits, self-exclusion options, and links to support organisations
FTC & Regulatory Compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), irenesettino.com discloses that material connections exist between this site and some of the casino operators reviewed here. We receive financial compensation — in the form of commissions or revenue share — from operators when readers register and play through our affiliate links. This disclosure page, along with individual notices placed near relevant links throughout the site, satisfies our obligation to be transparent about those commercial relationships. All opinions expressed on irenesettino.com remain our own.
Your Choice
You are under absolutely no obligation to use our affiliate links. Every casino we review can be found by searching directly, and you will receive the same standard player experience regardless of how you arrive. We provide our links as a convenience, not a requirement. If you prefer to visit any operator independently, please feel free to do so — our reviews are here to inform you either way.
