Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 2026. This disclosure applies to all content published on coursesforhorses.org, operated by James Wilson.

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Coursesforhorses, we believe you deserve to know exactly how this website operates and how it is funded. This page explains our affiliate relationships clearly and honestly, in accordance with the guidelines set out by the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), the Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP), and the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

Please read this disclosure carefully before using any links, recommendations, or reviews published on coursesforhorses.org.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Some of the links you find on coursesforhorses.org are affiliate links. This means that when you click a link to a betting site or bookmaker featured on this website and subsequently register an account or make a deposit, Coursesforhorses may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator.

This commission is paid directly by the operator and comes at no additional cost to you whatsoever. You will not pay more for any product, service, or welcome bonus by using our links. In many cases, our affiliate partnerships allow us to bring you exclusive welcome offers that may not be available elsewhere.

How Affiliate Relationships Work

Here is a simple breakdown of how our affiliate model functions:

A betting site or bookmaker agrees to pay a commission to websites that refer new customers to them.
We include a uniquely tracked link to that operator within our reviews and recommendation pages.
When you click that link and complete a qualifying action, such as registering or depositing, the operator pays us a fee.
This fee funds the running costs of coursesforhorses.org, allowing us to continue providing free, detailed reviews and guides.

Does This Affect Our Reviews?

No. Absolutely not. The existence of an affiliate relationship with any operator does not influence the content, scores, or conclusions published on this website. James Wilson evaluates every betting site independently, applying a consistent and rigorous methodology regardless of whether a commercial relationship exists.

We do not accept payment for positive reviews. Operators cannot purchase higher ratings or more favourable editorial coverage. A betting site that pays us a higher commission rate does not receive a better score as a result. Our editorial independence is non-negotiable.

Our Review Methodology

James Wilson brings years of hands-on experience in the UK betting and horse racing industry to every review published on coursesforhorses.org. Each operator is assessed against a structured set of criteria, including:

Licensing and regulation — we only feature operators licensed by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC).
Odds quality and market range — particularly for horse racing and UK sports.
Bonuses and promotions — assessed for fairness, value, and realistic terms and conditions.
User experience — including desktop, mobile, and in-play functionality.
Customer support — tested directly for response times and quality.
Responsible gambling tools — a mandatory consideration for every recommendation.
Withdrawal speeds and payment options — evaluated based on real-world testing.

Only operators that meet our minimum standards across these criteria are recommended to our readers.

Responsible Gambling Reminder

Gambling should always be approached as entertainment. Please gamble responsibly. If you feel that gambling is causing you harm, visit BeGambleAware.org or call the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133.
