Affiliate Disclosure

This page explains the affiliate relationships maintained by Hillview Cottage (hillview-cottage.com) and how those relationships may affect the content you read on this website. Please read this disclosure carefully before using any recommendations, reviews, or links found on this site.

Who We Are

Hillview Cottage is a UK-focused betting site review platform owned and operated by James Wilson. The site publishes in-depth reviews, comparisons, and recommendations of licensed betting operators available to UK customers. James Wilson has spent years researching the UK online gambling industry and applies a consistent, structured methodology to every review published on this website.

What Is an Affiliate Relationship?

An affiliate relationship is a commercial arrangement between a website publisher and a third-party business. When Hillview Cottage links to a betting site or casino operator, some of those links may be affiliate links. This means that if you click a link on this website and subsequently register an account or make a deposit with that operator, James Wilson may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator.

This type of arrangement is standard practice across the online publishing industry and is how many review websites are able to fund their operations and continue producing free content for readers.

How Affiliate Links Work

You click a link or button on hillview-cottage.com that directs you to a betting operator's website.
A tracking cookie or unique referral code records that the visit originated from Hillview Cottage.
If you complete a qualifying action, such as registering an account or placing a deposit, James Wilson may receive a commission from the operator.
There is no additional cost to you as a result of this arrangement. Affiliate commissions are paid by the operator, not the consumer.

Does This Affect Our Reviews?

No. The existence of affiliate relationships does not influence the editorial content, scores, or recommendations published on Hillview Cottage. James Wilson is committed to providing honest, accurate, and unbiased assessments of every betting site reviewed on this platform.

Operators are evaluated on their own merits. A betting site that performs poorly in our review process will receive a low rating regardless of whether an affiliate agreement is in place. Similarly, a site may be recommended without any commercial relationship existing at all. Editorial decisions are made independently of any financial arrangements.

Our Review Methodology

Every betting site reviewed on Hillview Cottage is assessed using a structured set of criteria to ensure consistency and fairness. James Wilson personally evaluates each operator across the following areas:

Licensing and regulation – Verification of a valid UK Gambling Commission licence.
Bonuses and promotions – Assessment of welcome offers, wagering requirements, and ongoing promotions.
Odds and markets – Evaluation of competitive pricing and the breadth of available betting markets.
User experience – Testing of the desktop and mobile platforms for ease of use and performance.
Payment methods – Review of deposit and withdrawal options, processing times, and fees.
Customer support – Testing of support channels for responsiveness and quality.
Responsible gambling tools – Assessment of tools provided to help customers gamble safely.

FTC Compliance and UK Advertising Standards

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines and the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) requirements, Hillview Cottage is required to disclose any material connections between this website and the operators featured within it. This page, along with relevant in-content disclosures, fulfils that obligation.

We believe in full transparency with our readers. If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships or how our reviews are produced, please contact James Wilson directly through the contact page on this website.
