At Housebyjoyce (housebyjoyce.com), we want to be completely upfront with you: some of the links on our site are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you click through and sign up or deposit at a casino we recommend. This comes entirely from the operator — it never costs you a single penny more. We believe you deserve to know exactly how this works before you read any of our reviews or follow any of our links.
What Affiliate Links Are
An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that tells an online casino you arrived via housebyjoyce.com. When you use one of these links to register or make a deposit, the casino pays us a referral fee as a thank-you for sending you their way. This is a standard, widely used arrangement across the online review industry — and the practice is fully transparent and legal in Great Britain under regulations overseen by the UK Gambling Commission and the Advertising Standards Authority.
Not every link on our site is an affiliate link. Where we reference regulatory bodies, responsible gambling organisations, or third-party information sources, those links are purely editorial and generate no income for us whatsoever.

How This Affects Our Reviews
The short answer: it doesn't. Rankings and recommendations on housebyjoyce.com are never for sale. No casino can pay to improve its score, move up our list, or remove a negative comment from our review. We assess every operator against the same objective criteria regardless of the commercial relationship we hold with them.
If a casino falls short on safety, treats players unfairly, or holds an inadequate licence, we will say so clearly — even if that operator is an affiliate partner. Our audience's trust is worth far more to us than any single commission payment.
Our Review Methodology
Every Heart Casino review published on housebyjoyce.com is evaluated against the following criteria:
- Licensing & Safety — valid UK Gambling Commission licence, responsible gambling tools, and data security measures
- Bonuses & Promotions — welcome offers, wagering requirements, and ongoing player rewards
- Games & Software — game variety, software providers, RTP transparency, and mobile compatibility

FTC & Regulatory Compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255) and the UK's Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations, housebyjoyce.com discloses all material connections between this website and the operators we review. Where a commercial relationship exists, it is disclosed prominently — on this page and, where required, directly alongside relevant content. We are committed to honest, clear communication in every piece of content we publish.
Your Choice
Using our affiliate links is entirely optional. You are always free to visit any casino operator's website directly by typing their address into your browser. Doing so means we earn no commission, but it has absolutely no effect on the service, bonus eligibility, or experience you receive from that operator. We include affiliate links as a convenience — never as a requirement.
