What This Means for You:
- When you click on our referral links or banners to poker sites (e.g., PokerStars, 888poker, etc.) and create an account or make a deposit, we may earn a commission from the operator as a result of that action. This comes at no extra cost to you. In some cases, our affiliate arrangement might even mean you get a better deal (for instance, an exclusive bonus code like NEWBONUS that gives you a larger bonus than the public offer).
- Our comparisons and review pages (like those above) include such links. They are usually marked with a symbol or in context as "Play Here" or similar, or we mention “【Sign up】”. These are the links that track referrals.
- As an example, we are a participant in the Stars Affiliate Club (for PokerStars), the 888 Affiliates program, partypoker Partners, etc. If you sign up to these sites through us, we could receive compensation.
Our Commitment to Honesty:
While earning affiliate commissions helps us maintain our site and provide free content, it does not influence our reviews or ratings unduly. We rate poker rooms on merit and strive to present both advantages and drawbacks fairly.
In fact, if you read our content, you’ll notice we critique aspects of partners as well as highlight them. Our goal is to build trust with our audience; steering someone wrong for a quick commission is not in our long-term interest.

We also maintain editorial independence: our writers are instructed to research and report objectively. Affiliate managers of poker rooms do not get to dictate our content. We may sometimes highlight a promotion more prominently if it’s particularly beneficial (and yes, it could be one that is affiliated), but we aim to do so transparently and because we think it’s a good offer for readers.
How Tracking Works:
As described in our Privacy Policy, clicking an affiliate link will typically place a tracking cookie in your browser.
This cookie usually contains a partner ID (identifying us as the referrer) and sometimes a campaign ID for specific promotions.
If you then sign up, the poker site knows to attribute your account to us.
We may earn either a flat fee (for example, $X for a new depositor) or a revenue share (a percentage of the rake or net revenue generated by your play), depending on the program terms.

Regardless of the model, there’s no difference on your end - your experience and costs are the same as if you went directly to the poker site (and often better, due to exclusive deals as mentioned).
Responsible Affiliate Practices:
- We only affiliate with licensed, reputable operators that we would recommend even without compensation. All rooms we link are UK Gambling Commission licensed (if they serve UK) or otherwise regulated where applicable.
- We avoid “shady” or rogue operators, even if they offer high commissions, because our priority is our readers’ safety and satisfaction.
- We regularly revisit our partnerships. If a poker room’s quality declines or they breach players’ trust, we will update our content accordingly, even if it means removing or criticizing a former partner.
- We comply with ASA and UKGC guidelines on affiliate marketing. That includes not targeting minors, not making false promises about gambling, and including proper disclaimers (like this page).
By using our affiliate links, you are supporting Poker Gods UK. The commissions help cover costs such as web hosting, content research, paying our writing staff (all of whom are experienced poker analysts), and possibly indulging in the occasional cup of coffee during those long writing sessions on strategy articles. We sincerely appreciate it when you choose to sign up via our site.
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships or want more details about a specific promotion’s nature, feel free to reach out via our Contact page. Transparency is key - we’re happy to clarify how we operate.
In summary: Yes, we earn money through affiliate links, but our loyalty is to our readers. We aim to align making a profit with providing value - in other words, we succeed only if you (our reader) find the best poker site for your needs and enjoy your playing experience. If we help you do that, and in the process earn a commission, that’s a win-win we’re comfortable with.
Thank you for supporting our site, and good luck at the tables!
