UK Online Safety Regulations and impact on Forums

[Mr Lucky]

Any tips for good sites for that would be appreciated.

The obvious one is Amazon but I’ve heard once they realise you are a forum they pull the account. Not sure if it’s the same.

I’d suggest you contact the hamster food and accessories companies and distributors and negotiate directly with for affiliate partnership or banners ads.

Thanks. Tried that a few times in the past. Big companies aren’t interested and it wouldn’t go down well with the membership as many sell unsuitable products for profit. Suitable ones tend to be smaller companies with no budget.

This might sound silly but.. we are on a Xenforo forum... so how is Xenforo the company complying with the law here? Would be interested to know, and although I have a license I do not recall any age verification happening when I joined etc?

There isn't a requirement to have age verification - depending on the outcome of a risk assessment.
