Idea is explicitly 'free' for casual ITV punters who don't pay for Racing Post; UK gambling ad/affiliate rules (GambleAware, age verification) make affiliate revenue harder, and the £25–30/mo sweet spot for paid tipsters is a tough sell to the stated target user.Best Horse Racing Tipsters UK: Top Verified Services 2026 ↗Free vs Paid Horse Racing Tipsters: ROI Comparison ↗
