Medicate (medicate.org.uk) is a free, independent review site covering Cocoa Casino and related casino recommendations for players in Great Britain. To keep this site running at no charge to you, we earn a commission from some of the operators we feature — paid by those operators, not by you. This means visiting a casino through one of our links will never cost you a single penny extra. We believe you deserve to know this upfront, so here is exactly how it works.
What Affiliate Links Are
An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that tells an online casino you arrived via medicate.org.uk. When you click one of these links, a small piece of data (usually a cookie) is stored in your browser so the casino can attribute your visit to us. There is nothing hidden or harmful about this process — it is a standard, widely used method of funding independent review websites. The link takes you to exactly the same casino page you would reach if you typed the address yourself; the only difference is that we may receive a fee if you go on to register or play.
How We Earn
Not every link on medicate.org.uk is an affiliate link, and our commission depends on specific actions you take — or do not take. The table below breaks down the common scenarios clearly.
| Action | Who Pays | Cost to You |
|---|---|---|
| You click a review or casino link on medicate.org.uk | Nobody — click-throughs alone carry no fee | None / £0 |
| You register a new account at a featured casino | The casino operator pays us a one-time referral fee | None / £0 |
| You deposit and play real money at a casino | The casino operator pays us a share of net revenue | None / £0 |
| You read our content but never click or register | Nobody | None / £0 |
Commission structures vary by operator and are agreed in advance. We receive no bonuses or inflated payments in exchange for writing positive content.
How This Affects Our Reviews
The short answer is: it does not. We maintain a strict separation between our commercial relationships and our editorial output. No casino can purchase a higher rating, a better ranking, or a more favourable review on medicate.org.uk. Casinos are assessed and ranked entirely on the criteria listed below. If a casino falls short — on licensing, game quality, payment reliability, or anything else — we say so clearly, regardless of whether we have an affiliate agreement with them. We would rather lose a commercial partner than mislead a reader.
Our Review Methodology
Every casino featured on medicate.org.uk is evaluated against the same core criteria:
- Licensing & Regulation — valid UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) licence and responsible gambling tools
- Bonuses & Promotions — wagering requirements, time limits, and overall fairness of offers
- Game Selection — breadth of slots, live dealer, and table games available to GB players
- Payment Methods — deposit and withdrawal options, processing times, and any associated fees
- Customer Support — availability, response speed, and quality of help channels
FTC & Regulatory Compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255) and UK consumer transparency expectations, medicate.org.uk discloses all material connections between this site and the operators it reviews. Where an affiliate relationship exists, it constitutes a material connection that could influence a reader's decision. This page, together with in-content disclosures where appropriate, satisfies our obligation to make that connection clear before you act on any recommendation.
Your Choice
Using our affiliate links is entirely optional. You are always free to visit any casino directly by typing its web address into your browser. You will still have access to the same games and promotions — we simply will not receive a commission. We genuinely appreciate it when readers do use our links, as it helps us keep medicate.org.uk free and independent, but the choice is always yours.
Questions
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships, how a specific link works, or anything else on this page, please get in touch with the team at medicate.org.uk. We are happy to explain our commercial arrangements in full and will always respond honestly. Transparency is not just a legal requirement for us — it is the foundation of everything we do.
