Digital Lancashire

What Digital Lancashire does

Digital Lancashire presents itself as a not-for-profit organization established to strengthen Lancashire's digital economy through collaboration, knowledge sharing and digital development. Operationally, however, the entity functions as an affiliate-marketing content platform that publishes independent reviews and rankings of internationally licensed online casinos, with a specific focus on operators that continue to accept credit card payments (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) — a position shaped by the UK Gambling Commission's restrictions on credit card gambling at UKGC-licensed sites.

The platform is built on WordPress and serves detailed casino reviews, side-by-side comparison tables, expert ratings, banking-advice guides, licensing information, and responsible-gambling resources for UK players. At least a dozen casino partners are listed on the homepage (including Winner Island, Bananzia, Night Win, 7A Bet, Zizo Bet, Bet Ninja, Booming Slots, Maximal Bet, Britsino, Royalen, Bloody Slots and Spinhub), each linked via dedicated "Join Now" tracking URLs that contain affiliate parameters such as clickid and sourceid. In 2026 the organization entered a research collaboration with the Secure Credit Gambling Council (SCGC) to expand its information resources for UK players seeking credit card casino options.

The business model is affiliate-referral commissions earned when users sign up and deposit at featured casinos. There is no pricing model, no disclosed product suite beyond the content site, no disclosed headcount or leadership, and no parent-company or investor ownership structure. The mismatch between the stated not-for-profit mission and the clearly commercial affiliate-referral mechanics is a structural feature of the business that any diligence process would need to resolve.
