Terms of Service
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern access to and use of Top Rating Zone, accessible at topratingzone.com (the “Site”). The Site is operated as an editorial and directory-style information resource for adults in the United Kingdom who wish to compare licensed gambling brands and related products. By viewing pages, following links, or otherwise using the Site, you confirm that you have read and accepted these Terms. If you do not agree, you must leave the Site and discontinue use immediately.
Nature of the service
Top Rating Zone does not operate gambling facilities, does not pool stakes, does not manage wallets on behalf of players, and is not a payment intermediary. We publish summaries, commentary, and outbound links to third-party operators that hold their own licences and regulatory permissions. Nothing on the Site constitutes betting, gaming, or lottery services within the meaning of the Gambling Act 2005 or secondary legislation made under it. Any wagering, account registration, identity verification, deposits, withdrawals, bonus claims, or gameplay occurs exclusively on third-party platforms under contracts between you and those operators.
Eligibility and jurisdiction
The Site is intended for individuals aged eighteen or over who are located in the United Kingdom or who voluntarily seek UK-focused information while permitted by their local law. You are solely responsible for determining whether accessing gambling-related information or following outbound links is lawful in your place of residence or from the network you use. We may use technical measures (including age prompts and storage of confirmation flags in your browser) to reduce access by minors; circumvention may violate these Terms and applicable law.
Affiliate relationships and commercial disclosure
We participate in affiliate or performance marketing arrangements with some operators. When you click tracked links and subsequently register or spend money with a partner, we may receive commission, revenue share, fixed fees, or other compensation. Commercial relationships can influence which brands appear, in what order, how prominently offers are displayed, and how often listings are refreshed. Compensation does not guarantee that a particular brand is suitable for you, that advertised bonuses will remain unchanged, or that you will achieve any gambling outcome. Always read the operator’s official terms, bonus rules, and withdrawal policies immediately before you deposit.
Intellectual property
Unless otherwise indicated, text layouts, graphics commissioned for the Site, selection and arrangement of materials, and our branding are protected by copyright and related rights. You may view and temporarily cache content for personal, non-commercial reference. You must not scrape, systematically download, frame, mirror, or exploit the Site for competitive aggregation, unauthorised indexing, or spam purposes. Trade marks displayed on the Site may belong to third-party operators and are used for descriptive accuracy; lack of a symbol does not waive third-party rights.
Acceptable use
You agree not to interfere with security controls, probe vulnerabilities, overload infrastructure, inject malicious code, forge headers, harvest email addresses from the Site, or impersonate staff or regulators. You must not use automated agents to extract large portions of content without prior written consent. You must not republish bonus figures or compliance statements in contexts that could mislead consumers about licensing status or safer gambling obligations.
Third-party websites and services
Outbound links open websites operated independently of Top Rating Zone. Those sites maintain separate privacy notices, cookie policies, dispute procedures, and gambling licenses. We do not endorse every statement made on partner platforms and cannot supervise changes they make after you leave the Site. Technical failures, bonus disputes, self-exclusion mismatches, or payment delays must be resolved through the operator’s support channels and relevant regulators; we are not a party to those contracts.
Accuracy, availability, and promotions
Editorial summaries are prepared using publicly available materials, partner bulletins, and occasional manual checks. Offers, wagering requirements, game catalogues, payment rails, and jurisdictional restrictions change frequently. Information may become outdated between updates. You must verify every material fact—including percentages, caps, expiry dates, eligible payment methods, and responsible gambling tools—on the operator’s authoritative pages before acting. The Site may be unavailable during maintenance, connectivity faults, or force majeure events; we do not warrant uninterrupted access.
Disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability
The Site and all content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement, subject to conditions that cannot legally be excluded. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Top Rating Zone and its contributors shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, goodwill, data, or gambling stakes arising from use of the Site, reliance on summaries, or dealings with third-party operators, even if advised of the possibility of such losses. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence where such exclusion is unlawful, nor limits fraud liability or other categories that cannot legally be capped.
Indemnity
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Top Rating Zone from claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the Site, breach of these Terms, violation of third-party rights, or unlawful gambling activity connected to your choices after leaving the Site.
Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, subject to mandatory consumer protections that apply where you reside. Courts of England and Wales shall have non-exclusive jurisdiction over disputes relating to the informational aspects of the Site, without prejudice to rights you may have under mandatory local law.
Changes
We may revise these Terms to reflect legal, regulatory, or operational developments. Updated Terms will be posted on this page with a revised publication stance indicated within the body text where appropriate. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance unless applicable law requires a different consent mechanism.
