Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: January 2026

At Aed (waed.co.uk), we believe in transparency and honesty with our readers. This page explains how we generate revenue and how that might affect the content you see on our website.

What This Disclosure Covers

This affiliate disclosure applies to all content published on waed.co.uk, including casino reviews, guides, comparison articles, and recommendations written by James Wilson, the owner and primary author of Aed.

How Aed Earns Revenue

Aed is an independent casino review website. We generate revenue primarily through affiliate commissions when readers click on links to online casino operators and subsequently register accounts with those operators.

When you click a link to a casino operator on our website and sign up, the operator may pay Aed a commission. This is a standard business model in the online gambling review industry and allows us to maintain our website, conduct thorough research, and provide free content to our readers.

Understanding Affiliate Links

What are affiliate links?

Affiliate links are special URLs that track when readers visit an online casino operator through our website. These links contain a unique identifier that attributes the signup to Aed. If you create an account after clicking one of these links, the operator compensates us with a commission.

How do they work?

• You read a review on Aed and click a link to an operator
• The affiliate link tracks your visit
• You register an account with that operator
• The operator pays Aed a commission for referring you
• You receive no extra charges – the commission does not increase your costs

Commissions are paid by the operators themselves as part of their customer acquisition strategy. Our affiliate relationships do not affect the prices, bonuses, or terms you receive as a player.

Editorial Independence and Unbiased Reviews

Despite receiving affiliate commissions, James Wilson maintains complete editorial independence in all reviews and recommendations published on Aed.

How we protect objectivity:

• No commission-based rankings: Casinos are not ranked higher because they pay higher commissions. Rankings are determined solely by quality, safety, and user experience.
• Honest negative reviews: We publish critical and negative reviews of operators when they fail to meet our standards, even if those operators are affiliate partners.
• No pay-for-placement: Operators cannot pay Aed to feature positive reviews or remove negative ones.
• Transparent methodology: Our review process is clearly documented and applied consistently to all casinos.
• Reader interests first: Recommendations are based on what benefits players, not what generates the highest commissions for Aed.

Our Review Methodology

Every casino review on Aed is conducted using the same rigorous methodology:

• Verification of licensing and regulatory status
• Testing of user account creation and verification processes
• Evaluation of game variety, software providers, and RTP percentages
• Assessment of bonus terms and wagering requirements
• Review of payment methods, withdrawal speeds, and security measures
• Analysis of customer support quality and availability
• Research into operator reputation and player feedback
• Checking for responsible gambling tools and protections
