How It Works

Last updated: 9 April 2026

Purpose of this page

This page describes how step1minimalist.com (“we”, “us”) selects, presents, and updates information about UK-facing gambling operators and related offers. It is provided for transparency and does not replace the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, or Cookie Policy. Nothing here guarantees that a particular offer will remain available, that you will qualify for a promotion, or that any third party will approve your registration.

What we publish

We publish editorial summaries, comparisons, and structured listings that may include brand names, headline bonus descriptions, high-level payment themes, and links to external sites where you can read full terms. Our content is informational. We are not a casino, sportsbook, lottery operator, or financial institution. We do not process deposits or withdrawals, adjudicate disputes about bonuses, or access your account with any third-party operator.

How brands and offers are chosen

Brands may appear based on a combination of editorial review, audience relevance, availability of accurate marketing assets, and commercial relationships. Where we receive compensation—such as affiliate commissions when you click tracked links and complete qualifying actions—that relationship may influence which offers are highlighted or the order in which they appear. Commercial priority does not relieve operators of their obligation to provide clear terms, and it does not relieve you of the obligation to read those terms before you play. We aim to avoid misleading headlines; however, operators can change promotions quickly, so you must verify eligibility, wagering rules, game restrictions, and expiry dates on the operator’s own website at the time you sign up.

Accuracy and updates

We endeavour to keep pages factually aligned with information supplied by operators or obtained from reputable public sources. Despite this, errors or delays can occur. Bonus amounts, percentages, free spin counts, and payment claims may change without notice. If you notice a discrepancy, you should rely on the operator’s live terms and help centre rather than this Site. We may correct pages retrospectively where we identify mistakes, but we are not liable for losses arising from outdated summaries; see our Terms of Service for limitations.

What happens when you click “Claim offer”

Outbound buttons typically use direct links or tracked affiliate URLs that tell an operator or network that you arrived from our Site. You will leave our environment and enter a third-party domain with its own cookies, privacy practices, and customer contracts. We do not control registration flows, KYC checks, bonus crediting, or game outcomes. Any dispute about a promotion, exclusion, or account restriction must be raised with the licensed operator and, where appropriate, with alternative dispute resolution schemes or regulators identified in that operator’s terms.

Licensing and safer gambling

We focus on brands that generally hold or are marketed under UK regulatory expectations for remote gambling where applicable. Listing on this Site is not an endorsement by a regulator and not a warranty of suitability for your personal circumstances. We display links to national safer gambling resources such as GambleAware, GamCare, GamStop, and the Gambling Commission because informed choice and harm reduction matter. Tools like deposit limits, time-outs, and self-exclusion exist to help you stay in control; if gambling stops being fun, pause and seek support.

Email and support expectations

If you contact us by email, we use your message to respond to enquiries about the Site, to address legal requests where required, and to maintain records consistent with our Privacy Policy. We cannot mediate disputes between you and operators, provide bespoke legal advice, or escalate account issues on your behalf with third parties unless we explicitly agree in writing in a particular case.

Changes to how we work

We may adjust editorial criteria, commercial partnerships, or page layouts as the market evolves. When we make material changes to this explanatory page, we will update the “Last updated” date. Continued use of the Site after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised description where permitted by law.
