Proctornews.com, owned and operated by James Wilson, is committed to transparency regarding our business relationships and how we monetise our content. This page explains our affiliate partnerships, how they work, and how we maintain editorial independence despite receiving commissions from gambling operators.
Proctornews.com contains affiliate links to various licensed gambling operators and casinos. An affiliate link is a special URL that tracks when a visitor clicks through to an operator's website from our site. When you use our affiliate links and subsequently create an account or make a deposit with that operator, we may receive a commission or referral fee.
These commissions come from the gambling operators themselves—not from you as the player. Your account terms, deposit amounts, and gaming experience remain entirely unchanged whether you access an operator through our affiliate link or visit them directly.
Proctornews generates revenue through affiliate commissions when users sign up to casinos and operators via our links. This is our primary revenue model and allows us to maintain our site, conduct extensive research, and provide free, independent reviews to our audience.
We only promote operators that we have thoroughly reviewed and determined to meet our quality standards. Our affiliate relationships do not influence which operators we choose to review or recommend.
James Wilson's reviews are independent and unbiased. We understand the potential conflict of interest when a review site also earns commissions from the products it reviews. That is precisely why we have implemented rigorous standards to maintain our editorial integrity:
Each casino review on Proctornews is conducted according to a comprehensive evaluation framework that includes:
Proctornews is authored by James Wilson, an experienced casino industry analyst with over a decade of expertise in online gambling, operator compliance, and player protection. James's reviews reflect extensive professional knowledge of the UK gambling market and international best practices in responsible gaming.
James maintains professional memberships and stays current with industry developments, regulatory changes, and operator innovations. This expertise ensures that Proctornews reviews provide genuinely valuable guidance rather than promotional content.
Our reputation depends entirely on providing honest, accurate reviews. Recommending substandard operators for short-term commission gains would ultimately damage our credibility and drive away the audience we depend on. Therefore, our financial incentives and our editorial goals are genuinely aligned: both require us to identify and recommend only the best operators.
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships, review methodology, or editorial standards, please contact us directly. We welcome feedback and are committed to maintaining the highest standards of transparency and integrity.
