As one of our key values is transparency, we like to ensure our users know how we make money. We hope the industry will follow our lead in this regard. You will see prominent links throughout our site (labelled #Ad) which take users to this page.
Although we don’t get paid advertising fees by companies to feature them on our website, we may get paid if a user clicks a link on ComparetheLotto.com and creates an account with one of the operators that ComparetheLotto.com has affiliate agreements with. This works practically through ‘affiliate links’.

Are all links on ComparetheLotto.com affiliate links?
CompareTheLotto.com does not have affiliate agreements with every company that features on our website and therefore not all links are affiliate links.
Why Do You Feature Companies You’re Not Affiliated With?
Our goal is to provide the most useful information on the whole lottery and lottery betting industry for users. It wouldn’t be an optimal information source for users if we omitted certain companies. For example, we are not affiliated with the UK National Lottery, however, approximately 70% of UK adults play the National Lottery, it wouldn’t make sense for us to omit them from our site simply because we’re not affiliated with them. Our focus is only on lottery companies who are properly regulated. If you think there is something genuinely beneficial to lottery users that is not featured on our site, please contact us.

We always advise customers to double check on operator’s sites for factual confirmation. When we write blog type articles on the site, we always seek to be fair. We always clearly note, where appropriate, if the articles are based on our opinions. CompareTheLotto.com also has a thriving community of users who write their own reviews.
