I have seen some sites linking to Gamble Aware and other such sites. Have affiliates got to do this?

It is a requirement to include this link if promoting your site in the UK using Google Adwords;

I left the links live after i dropped Adwords campaigns as I just felt better about it being there !

Some do it for Adwords, however I think most do it as it seems the right thing to do!
If you are in the UK and/or promoting your site in the UK (whatsoever) you need to include it as part of the Gambling Act, 2005. There are a few other requirements too.
Until now these requirements haven't really been enforced, but from the 1st of March the Advertising Standards Agency will be actively policing web sites.

I link out to them and to Gambler's Anonymous too. Just feel it is the right thing to do.

I have it in the footer so it's on all pages. I can't remember off the top of my head what the exact rule is.
There would be no SEO benefit to doing this (read this thread if you're not sure why).
