At Thamesteel (thamesteel.co.uk), operated by Thomas Bellingham, we believe that every visitor deserves to know exactly how this website works and how it is funded. This page explains our affiliate relationships in plain, honest language so you can make fully informed decisions about the information you read here.
Some of the links on Thamesteel.co.uk are affiliate links. This means that when you click on a link to an online casino or gambling operator featured on this site and subsequently register an account or make a deposit, Thamesteel may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator. This payment comes directly from the operator and does not add any extra cost to you whatsoever.
