At Zinc White (stratfordcasino.com), we believe in being completely upfront with our readers. Some of the links on this 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 arrangement never costs you a single penny extra — the price you pay, or any bonus you receive, is exactly the same whether you arrive via our link or type the casino address directly into your browser.
What Affiliate Links Are
An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that tells a casino operator you arrived from stratfordcasino.com. When you use one of these links, the operator knows we referred you and, if you go on to register or play, they pay us a referral fee. This is a standard practice across the online publishing industry and is how many free review websites — including ours — are able to fund the research, writing, and maintenance that keeps the content current and useful for UK players.
Not every link on Zinc White is an affiliate link. We sometimes reference operators, regulators, or other resources for informational purposes only, with no commercial relationship in place.

How This Affects Our Reviews
The short answer is: it does not. Rankings and recommendations on stratfordcasino.com are never for sale. No casino operator can pay to appear at the top of our lists, receive an inflated star rating, or have a negative finding removed from a review. Our editorial team assesses every Stratford casino and online operator independently, and our conclusions are based solely on the research criteria described below.
Where we have a commercial relationship with an operator, we disclose it — as we are doing right now. If a casino scores poorly against our criteria, we say so plainly, even if that operator is an affiliate partner. We think our readers deserve honesty over revenue, and we intend to keep it that way in 2026 and beyond.

FTC & Regulatory Compliance
In accordance with the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) guidelines and the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) rules on endorsements and testimonials, stratfordcasino.com discloses all material connections between this website and the operators we review. Any page containing an affiliate link is covered by this site-wide disclosure. We are committed to maintaining transparency in all our commercial relationships.
