Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: January 2026
How Ponderosa & Thyme Earns Money
ponderosaandthyme.com is an affiliate website. This means that when you click on certain links on this site — including links to betting sites and online casinos featured in our "Top 50 Betting Sites UK" reviews — and subsequently register an account, deposit money, or place a bet, we may receive a commission from the operator at no additional cost to you.
These affiliate commissions are how we fund the operation of this website, including the research, testing, and writing of our reviews. We want to be completely transparent about this commercial relationship.
Our Editorial Independence
Our rankings, ratings, and reviews are not influenced by affiliate commissions. Betting sites cannot pay for a higher ranking, a better review, or removal of negative commentary. Our editorial team evaluates operators based on licensing, security, odds, bonuses, payment methods, customer support, and user experience. Commercial arrangements are determined only after editorial assessments are complete.
How to Identify Affiliate Links
You can identify affiliate and commercially sponsored content on this site in the following ways:
- Buttons or links labelled "Visit Site", "Claim Bonus", "Bet Now", or similar calls to action are affiliate links.
- Content marked as "Sponsored", "Ad", or "Paid Promotion" has been commercially arranged with an operator.
- Featured or promoted listings may be marked with a "Partner" or "Promoted" badge.
UK Regulatory Compliance
As a website targeting users in Great Britain, we aim to comply with the advertising standards enforced by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) and the Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) Code, including the requirement that marketing communications are obviously identifiable as such. We also only promote operators licensed by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), as required for gambling services offered to consumers in Great Britain.
Your Responsibility
Gambling involves risk and should be treated as entertainment, not a way to make money. Please ensure that:
- You are 18 years of age or older before using any gambling service.
- You only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
- You read the full terms and conditions of any bonus or offer before participating.
- You verify that an operator holds a valid UK Gambling Commission licence.
If you are concerned about your gambling, help is available free of charge from BeGambleAware.org and the National Gambling Helpline (0808 8020 133). You can also self-exclude via GAMSTOP.
