This page explains the commercial relationships that exist between Ashelade (ashelade.com) and the casino operators featured on this website. We believe in full transparency, and we want every visitor to understand exactly how this site operates before reading any of our reviews or following any of our links.
Ashelade is an independent casino review website owned and operated by James Whitfield. The site provides reviews, comparisons, and recommendations focused on non-GamStop casinos for players based in Great Britain. James Whitfield is solely responsible for all editorial content published on ashelade.com.
Some of the links you find on ashelade.com are affiliate links. An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that identifies Ashelade as the source of a referral. When you click one of these links and go on to register and/or deposit at a casino operator, Ashelade may receive a commission from that operator.
This commission is typically paid in one of the following ways:
These commissions are paid directly by casino operators to Ashelade. You are never charged any additional fees as a result of clicking an affiliate link. The price, bonus offer, or terms of any casino product you access remain the same whether you arrive through an affiliate link or directly.
It is important to us that you understand the potential influence affiliate relationships could have on the content you read. We want to be completely clear: affiliate commissions do not influence the ratings, rankings, or written assessments published by James Whitfield on ashelade.com.
Casinos are evaluated and ranked based on objective criteria, not on the size of the commission they offer. Operators that offer higher commissions do not receive more favourable reviews. Equally, operators that offer lower commissions or no affiliate arrangement at all are not penalised in our assessments.
Every casino reviewed on ashelade.com is assessed by James Whitfield using a consistent, structured methodology. Reviews evaluate operators across a range of criteria, including:
James Whitfield brings direct, hands-on experience evaluating online casino platforms and a thorough understanding of the UK non-GamStop market. Each review reflects an honest, independent assessment based on real research. Negative findings are reported accurately and are not removed or softened due to commercial relationships.
Ashelade maintains a strict separation between its commercial affiliate activity and its editorial content. No casino operator is able to purchase, influence, or approve the content written about them on this site. James Whitfield retains full editorial control at all times. If a casino performs poorly against our review criteria, that assessment is published regardless of any existing or potential affiliate relationship.
In accordance with the guidelines set out by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regarding endorsements and testimonials, Ashelade discloses all material connections with casino operators. The existence of affiliate relationships on this site constitutes a material connection, and that connection is disclosed here and, where appropriate, within individual review pages.
If you have any questions about how Ashelade earns revenue, the nature of our affiliate relationships, or how our reviews are produced, you are welcome to contact James Whitfield directly through the contact page on ashelade.com. We are committed to being open and accountable to our readers at all times.
