Compliance & Transparency

Affiliate Disclosure

In compliance with the Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) and the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), this page outlines our commercial relationships with operators.

1. How We Are Funded

Compare The Tipster (comparethetipster.co.uk) is a free-to-use odds comparison, tipster verification, and betting information portal. To provide our odds comparison engine, database proofing systems, and tipster analytics without charging general visitors, we participate in affiliate marketing programs with licensed UK gambling operators.

This means that when you click on a referral link to a bookmaker, register an account, or deposit funds, we may receive a commission from that operator at no extra cost to you.

2. Editorial Independence & Verification Integrity

Our commercial relationships with bookmakers do not influence our tipster verification metrics or odds comparison tables:

  • Odds Comparison: The odds shown are derived directly from bookmaker feeds. Best prices are highlighted mathematically regardless of commission rates.
  • Tipster Records: All tipster stats (ROI, strike rates, win streaks) are calculated automatically based on immutable timestamped tips and real match outcomes. Commercial partners cannot buy higher leaderboard rankings.

3. UKGC Licensed Operators Only

We only promote and link to gambling operators that are fully licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC). We actively audit partner links to ensure full compliance with UK advertising codes, age verification requirements (18+), and responsible gambling messaging.

4. Responsible Gambling Support

Gambling should always be entertaining and within your financial means. Never bet with money you cannot afford to lose. If you or someone you know requires support, free confidential help is available 24/7:
