A comparison site that admits it's funded by affiliate links

I'm the person behind it — a long-time UK player who got tired of tables that treat a “200% welcome bonus” as a win without mentioning the wagering behind it. The whole point of this site is to read that small print in plain English and grade operators on what the offer actually asks of you, alongside the parts of a casino you use every week.

What Slot Annotations is

It's an independent comparison resource for readers in the UK aged 18 and over. We look at licensed operators, weigh them on a fixed set of criteria, and write up what we find. That's the entire job.

What it isn't

We are not a casino. We don't run games, take bets, hold your money or process anything financial. We're not the Gambling Commission and we're not owned by any brand on the shortlist. If your account has a problem, we genuinely can't touch it — that goes to the operator's own support team.

How the money works

The site is funded by affiliate commissions. When you follow a link to an operator and sign up, we may earn a fee at no cost to you. It's worth being upfront that this is the business model — but it doesn't buy a better grade. The ordering and the letters reflect our own read, and an operator we rate poorly stays rated poorly whether or not there's a commission attached. The affiliate disclosure spells this out further.

What we leave out on purpose

You won't find payment methods, deposit and withdrawal walkthroughs or payout-speed claims here. Plenty of sites cover that, and it's not where our read adds anything. We stick to comparison and the bonus fine print, and we keep every informational page evergreen rather than chasing dated headlines.
