As an affiliate partner, you will always act in a manner that benefits these fundamental objectives and should you fail to comply with them or if you act in any way that compromises our ability to comply with these License regulations, we will terminate our contractual relationship with you accordingly.
If you market our brands in the UK, by accepting these terms you confirm you are fully aware of the following marketing obligations and requirements:
- The UK Gambling Act and the UK Gambling Commission as stated in the respective LCCP.

In accordance with section 330 of the Gambling Act of 2005, it is unlawful to advertise gambling on websites which do not carry the correct permits/license to offer such gambling. In order to uphold the objectives of the Gambling Act of 2005, we have a zero-tolerance stance to working with any affiliate who undertakes such activity and if we discover such this agreement will be terminated and no monies owed will be paid and we will consider to report you to the relevant authorities. For the avoidance of doubt, this means that our Brand cannot be on a website which promotes non-UK licensed brands to UK players or UK Licensed Brands that clearly advertise a service/product in breach of the Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice of the UKGC (LCCP)

- The site contains sections specifically referring to UK player (i.e. best UK/non-UK casinos)
Service/product in breach of the LCCP means:
- References about casinos not offering the UK National self-exclusion register GAMSTOP or tips on how to cancel or avoid a GAMSTOP registration;
- References about casinos not requiring registration/verification/account or no KYC information/documents (anonymous casinos);
- References about casinos allowing reversing withdrawals;
- References about tips on how to cheat or defraud casino systems or games;
- Any other reference not inline and/or in breach of the LCCPs
All of the above example should be seen as non-exhaustive. If you are ever in doubt please contact your account manager for compliance approval before moving forward with contracting with such an affiliate.
Furthermore, in cases of affiliate websites advertising both UK and non-UK licensed brands we strongly advise to ensure that non-UK licensed brands bear a warning/note that the said brand/casino is not available to UK players.
Moreover, with immediate effect and until further notice, all PMP Brands (Casino) have stopped accepting UK traffic from Email/Mailers, SMS and Direct Mail by Post.
Any activity that encourages UK players to deposit money into 3rd party channels like YouTube involving “Slots Pulls” or “Casino Raffles” and “Tournaments” (without direct registration in our Casinos) is also prohibited.
