07 Affiliate Disclosure

gillmacmillanbooks.ie generates revenue through affiliate marketing.

This commission is paid directly by the casino and does not add any cost to you as a player.

Our commercial relationships with casino operators do not affect our editorial output. All casinos reviewed on this site are assessed using the same criteria — licensing, bonus value, game quality, payment options, and customer support. We do not list casinos that fail to meet our standards, regardless of the commercial terms on offer.

gillmacmillanbooks.ie is transparent about its affiliate relationships. Our rankings represent our genuine, independent assessment of each platform’s quality for Irish players.
