    At GG.co.uk, our mission is to provide horse racing enthusiasts and punters with accurate, data-driven analysis and independent betting advice. We are committed to the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and responsibility in everything we publish.

    This Editorial Policy outlines how we create content, how we work with partners, and the standards we hold ourselves to.

    1. Editorial Independence

    Our writers and tipsters operate with complete editorial independence.

    • No Pay-for-Play: Bookmakers cannot pay us to tip a specific horse or predict a specific outcome.
    • Data-Led Selections: Our tips—from experts like Andrew Mount and our daily analysis team—are based solely on form study, statistical analysis, and racing expertise.
    • Commercial Separation: Our commercial team (who manage bookmaker partnerships) do not have editorial control over the tips we publish. If a writer recommends a bet, it is because they believe it offers value to the reader, not because of a commercial relationship.

    2. Advertising and Affiliate Disclosure

    GG.co.uk is a free-to-use website. To maintain our high-quality coverage without charging a subscription, we maintain commercial partnerships with online bookmakers.

    • How We Make Money: When you click a link to a betting site on our pages (such as a “Sign Up” offer or a betting slip link) and place a bet, we may receive a commission from that operator.
    • Impact on Content: This funding model allows us to pay for expert writers and data feeds. However, it does not influence which horses we tip. If a bookmaker has poor odds or a bad user experience, we will say so. Our loyalty is to the punter first.

    3. Expertise and Authority

    We do not publish guesswork. Our content is created by experienced racing journalists and industry insiders.

    • Expert Contributors: Our team includes established names in racing journalism (e.g., Andrew Mount), ensuring our readers receive insights backed by years of track-side experience and database analysis.
    • Verification: All race times, odds, and statistics are verified against official industry data feeds before publication.

    4. Responsible Gambling

    We take our responsibility to our readers seriously. Betting should always be about entertainment, never about “guaranteed” income.

    • Compliance: We only feature bookmakers who are fully licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC).
    • Protection: We actively promote safer gambling tools. If you or someone you know is struggling, we urge you to use the resources provided by BeGambleAware and GamStop.
    • 18+ Only: Our content is strictly intended for users aged 18 and over.

    5. Corrections and Accuracy

    We strive for 100% accuracy, but in the fast-moving world of live racing, errors can happen (e.g., a non-runner or a sudden odds change).

    • Correction Policy: If we make a factual error, we will correct it immediately and, where necessary, add a note to the article explaining the change.
    • Feedback: Readers can report factual errors directly to our editorial team at [email protected]
