Welcome to Darinka (darinka.design). This page contains important information about how we generate revenue and maintain editorial integrity. We are committed to transparency with our readers and compliance with relevant advertising regulations, including guidelines set by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) in the UK.
Darinka is an independent casino review and recommendation website operated by James Wilson. We provide detailed, research-based reviews of online casinos and gambling operators, with a primary focus on platforms available to UK players. Our mission is to help readers make informed decisions about which casinos and operators best suit their needs.
Darinka generates revenue through affiliate commissions. When you click on certain links on our website that direct you to a casino operator or gambling platform, and you subsequently sign up or deposit money, we may receive a commission from that operator. This commission is paid by the casino or operator—it does not cost you any additional money or change the price you pay for their services.
An affiliate link is a special URL that includes tracking information. This allows the operator to identify that you came from Darinka and to attribute any sign-ups or deposits to our website. We clearly mark affiliate links where appropriate, and these links typically look like standard website URLs.
Our affiliate relationships do not influence our reviews or recommendations. James Wilson conducts all casino reviews independently and objectively, based on rigorous evaluation criteria and extensive research. We are committed to providing honest assessments of each operator, including highlighting weaknesses, limitations, and potential concerns.
Our reviews are not for sale. We do not write favourable reviews in exchange for higher commissions, nor do we exclude operators from coverage because they do not offer affiliate programmes. Our recommendations are based solely on quality, reliability, player experience, and value—nothing more.
Each casino review on Darinka is conducted using a comprehensive evaluation framework that includes:

By disclosing our affiliate relationships clearly, we demonstrate our confidence in our editorial integrity and our respect for our readers' right to understand how we generate revenue.
