At Austinsears (austinsears.net), we believe that complete honesty with our readers is non-negotiable. This page exists to clearly explain the commercial relationships we maintain with casino operators and how those relationships may affect — or more importantly, how they do not affect — the content you read on this website.
Please read this disclosure carefully before relying on any reviews, recommendations, or ratings published on austinsears.net.
Some of the links featured on Austinsears are affiliate links. This means that when you click on a link to a casino operator and subsequently register an account or make a deposit, Austinsears may receive a financial commission from that operator. This commission comes at no additional cost to you — the price you pay, or the bonus you receive, is never reduced or altered because of our affiliate relationship.
Affiliate links work through a tracking system. When you click a link on our site, a unique tracking code is passed to the operator's website. If you complete a qualifying action — such as signing up or depositing — the operator's system records that referral and pays Austinsears an agreed commission. This is a standard and widely used model across the online publishing industry.
In compliance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines and applicable UK advertising standards, Austinsears discloses its affiliate relationships clearly and prominently. You should assume that any link pointing to a casino operator on this website may be an affiliate link unless explicitly stated otherwise.
We do not hide or obscure these commercial relationships. This disclosure page is accessible from every page of the website, and individual reviews may also carry inline disclosures where appropriate.
The existence of affiliate relationships does not influence the editorial content produced by James Whitfield on Austinsears. Our reviews, ratings, and recommendations are formed independently, based on genuine research and testing, regardless of whether an operator pays us a commission.
James Whitfield has developed his expertise in the non-Gamstop casino space through years of dedicated research into operator licensing, payment processing, bonus structures, player protection policies, and customer service standards. His assessments reflect real-world experience and objective analysis, not commercial pressure from operators.
Austinsears does not accept payment in exchange for positive reviews. Operators cannot purchase higher ratings, more favourable written coverage, or editorial endorsements. If a casino fails to meet our standards, it will be rated accordingly — irrespective of any financial relationship.
Every casino reviewed on Austinsears is evaluated using a consistent methodology developed by James Whitfield. Key assessment criteria include:
Austinsears targets adult readers in Great Britain aged 18 and over. Gambling carries financial risk, and casino products reviewed on this site are intended for entertainment purposes only. If you or someone you know is experiencing difficulties related to gambling, please seek support from organisations such as GamCare or BeGambleAware.
If you have any questions about this affiliate disclosure or how Austinsears operates commercially, you are welcome to get in touch directly. Contact details are available on our Contact page at austinsears.net.
