Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 2026 | Website: theoldsailors.co.uk | Owner: James Wilson

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Theoldsailors (theoldsailors.co.uk), we believe that honesty and transparency are the foundation of any trustworthy casino review website. This Affiliate Disclosure page exists to clearly explain how this website earns revenue, how that revenue model works in practice, and why it never compromises the independence or integrity of the reviews and recommendations you read here.

Please read this disclosure carefully before using any links or acting on any recommendations found on this website.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Some of the links on Theoldsailors are affiliate links. This means that when you click on a link to an online casino or gambling operator featured on this website and subsequently register an account or make a qualifying deposit, Theoldsailors may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator. This payment comes from the operator, not from you. You pay nothing extra, and the terms and conditions offered to you remain exactly the same as they would be if you visited the operator directly.

Affiliate relationships of this kind are standard practice across the online casino review industry and are fully disclosed here in accordance with the guidelines set by the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), and the principles established by the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for online endorsements and testimonials.

How Affiliate Commissions Work

When a commercial relationship exists between Theoldsailors and a casino operator, the mechanism typically works as follows:

A unique tracking link is assigned to this website by the operator or their affiliate programme.
When a reader clicks that link, a cookie is stored temporarily in their browser to attribute any resulting sign-up or deposit to this website.
If a qualifying action takes place, the operator pays Theoldsailors a pre-agreed commission, which may be a flat fee, a revenue share arrangement, or a cost-per-acquisition payment.
James Wilson, as the site owner, uses this revenue to fund the ongoing operation, research, and maintenance of theoldsailors.co.uk.

Editorial Independence and Unbiased Reviews

The existence of affiliate relationships does not influence the editorial content published on Theoldsailors. All casino reviews, ratings, and recommendations are written and overseen by James Wilson, who applies a consistent and objective methodology to every evaluation regardless of whether an affiliate relationship exists with the operator in question.

James Wilson has spent years researching and testing UK-facing online casinos, building up hands-on knowledge of licensing standards, software providers, payment processing, bonus terms, and responsible gambling tools. This expertise forms the backbone of every review published on this website. Operators are never paid to receive positive coverage, and negative findings are reported honestly even where a commercial relationship exists.

Our Review Methodology

Every casino reviewed on Theoldsailors is assessed against a structured set of criteria, including:

Licensing and regulation — all recommended operators must hold a valid licence from the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC).
Game selection and software quality — including the range and fairness of slots and table games.
Bonus terms and conditions — assessed for fairness, wagering requirements, and transparency.
Payment methods and withdrawal speed — including the availability of fast-payout options for UK players.
Customer support quality — tested directly where possible.
Responsible gambling tools — including self-exclusion, deposit limits, and signposting to support organisations such as GamCare and BeGambleAware.
