UK Based Affiliate Site - Thecasinoreview.co.uk

[gamingmodern]

Hello,

I need your valuable suggestion to improve The Casino Review UK site.

Also I am looking for more UK casinos reviews. So welcome to affiliate managers. They can put a piece of content here and it will be permanent linked here.

I need suggestions how I can more improve my website performance to get more traffic and sustain that.

Your valuable suggestions will be applied.

Thanks!

Stop using AI , looks like human edited AI but still looks generated, also not sure if the 100+ google image and map backlinks are going to help.

I would recommend reviewing and expanding the content on your site. Honestly, I feel it stays a bit superficial and tends to direct users elsewhere. For example, in one section, you advise reading ahead of time to learn about slots. Why not use that opportunity to link to your own content about them? I only took a quick look, but I feel you're missing several opportunities.

If it's UK facing then you'll need to get some responsible gambling content in there ASAP.

Before trying to attract new aff programs I would definitely get on top of your compliance if you are mainly targeting the UK.

You need to have significant terms, you need to remove CTA's with things like 'play now' and text such as "Everyone loves free money". You need links to gambleaware, 18+ logos and tons of other stuff to be compliant now.

After that you need more content and content that isn't so keyword heavy targeting commercial terms.

I like that you promote the free-play (fake money) games, as do I, but the site looks like it's just mostly ads. Why should anyone prefer to visit your site, versus any of the hundreds of other similar sites? What are you offering that they don't, or offering better?

Speaking of the free play games, and just to pile on the UKGC regulations, I'm pretty sure these need to be age gated in the UK.

Technically you might be able to get away with it if there were no affiliate ads on the page as it's the operators that get in trouble for it. But I could see some of the stricter ones having issues with even being on the site as they're the ones on the hook.

I know we've had emails in the past about this (just notifications, we don't do free play games). Although this was a few years ago when the rules first came up, so maybe everyone has forgotten about it now.

Thanks for that reminder and link to the statement from the commission.

I can confirm they do need to be age-gated for the UK by a third party such as Agechecked. However, there are still many sites that don't offer any AV, and the commission has done nothing to enforce the rules. My advice would be, as we have, is to not bother with the minefield that is the UK free-play slot market. We now have the demos available for the UK, but with no casino offers in place.

Purely from experience, as soon as you implement the AV, the time on site will tank, as users will click back and find an alternative where there is no robust age checking in place. If the UKGC finally enforces the rule and it's a level playing field for all, it would be worth a punt installing the AV, but I wouldn't bother as it is.

Yeah definitely. If I need to load up a demo version of a game for a screenshot (or whatever) and I come across one that's age gated I just hit back and try the next. I've never gone through the AV process.

One of the easiest ways for UK players to try free slots is through providers' official websites. There, you just click and play. Only Nolimit City restricts free play. Others like NetEnt, Yggdrasil, Thunderkick, Play'n GO, Relax Gaming, etc., all work fine. Many players have casino accounts anyway, and they can play for free there. So going for free play elsewhere is pointless unless one needs to find and compare RTPs and decides to have a spin while there.

looks good, focus on keyword research
