New in v5: the parts that show a reader who stands behind a rating – the affiliate disclosure, the licence badges, the verification stamp, the author box, and the two ways one operator points at another.

Affiliate disclosure

Two styles, box and line, and the text can be overridden per use. The default text is a Customizer setting, so one edit changes every page that shows it.

We are paid a commission when a reader opens an account through a link on this site. It does not buy a score, a place in a table, or a review.

We may earn a commission when you sign up through a link on this page. It never changes what we write.

Licences are read from the operator’s licence taxonomy; each badge links to the regulator’s public register. The heading below comes from the block.

Licensing

A badge is only worth what the register behind it says. These link to the regulator's own.

Verification

Who tested the operator, when, whether they deposited, and how long the withdrawal took.

Demonstration data. On a live site this is where the tester records what happened: the deposit, the game, the withdrawal request and how long it took to land.

Author box

Sister sites

Operators in the same poka_group – the owner – so it is a fact from the taxonomy, not a list somebody has to maintain.

Alternatives

The same block, reading the other relationship, in its second style.
