Disclosure — affiliate references, quoted operator language and corrections.
01What the desk discloses

Affiliate references, quoted operator language and the rel="sponsored nofollow" convention.

The desk publishes three categories of disclosed material. First, affiliate references: outbound links to third-party operators carry rel="sponsored nofollow noopener noreferrer" and are labelled as editorial commentary rather than as endorsements. Second, quoted operator language: where the desk quotes an operator's bonus offer, welcome offer, refer code or terms, the quote is in quotation marks and labelled as the operator's published language. Third, corrections: where the desk has corrected an earlier claim, the correction is appended in line with the date stamp.

02Affiliate disclosure

Affiliate links are marked with rel="sponsored nofollow noopener noreferrer".

Where the desk links to a third-party operator in an editorial context (for example, a download chapter linking to the operator's home page), the link carries rel="sponsored nofollow noopener noreferrer" and the link is labelled as editorial commentary rather than as an endorsement. The desk does not pass the reader's identifier to the operator when the reader clicks the link. The desk does not embed the operator's registration form on the desk's pages and does not collect the reader's mobile number on behalf of the operator.

05No outcome endorsement
