We believe you deserve to know exactly how www.stonecothill.co.uk keeps the lights on. Some of the links on this site are affiliate links, which means Stonecothill may earn a commission if you click through and go on to register or play at a recommended casino. This never costs you a single penny more — you receive the same offers, the same odds, and the same experience you would get by visiting an operator directly. We are committed to being upfront about this relationship so you can trust the information we publish.
What Affiliate Links Are
An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that tells a casino operator that a visitor arrived via our website. These tracking links are completely invisible in terms of your experience — they do not change the page you land on, the bonus you are offered, or any terms attached to a promotion. They simply allow the operator to credit Stonecothill with an introduction fee if you go on to sign up and play. Millions of review and comparison websites across the UK operate under exactly the same model, and UK gambling operators are well accustomed to working with affiliates in a fully regulated environment.

How This Affects Our Reviews
The honest answer is: it should not, and we work hard to make sure it does not. Rankings and recommendations on www.stonecothill.co.uk are not for sale. No casino operator can pay to receive a higher score, a more favourable headline, or a prominent position in our lists. Our editorial team assesses every casino against the same fixed criteria regardless of the commercial relationship in place. If a casino performs poorly on licensing, fairness, or customer service, we say so — even if that casino is an affiliate partner. We would rather lose commission than mislead you into playing somewhere that does not meet our standards.
Our Review Methodology
Every casino reviewed on Stonecothill is evaluated across the following core areas:
- Licensing and regulation — we verify UK Gambling Commission authorisation before publishing any review
- Bonuses and promotions — we read the full terms and flag any restrictive wagering requirements
- Games and software — we assess the breadth of slots, live tables, and the quality of software providers
- Payment methods and withdrawal speed — we check which methods are supported and how quickly players are paid
- Customer support — we test response times and the quality of assistance offered via live chat and email
FTC & Regulatory Compliance
In accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, and consistent with UK consumer transparency expectations, Stonecothill discloses that this website contains affiliate links and may receive compensation from operators featured in our content. This disclosure applies site-wide across all reviews, comparison pages, and bonus guides published on www.stonecothill.co.uk.

Your Choice
You are never obligated to use our links. If you prefer, you can type any casino's address directly into your browser and visit them independently. Our affiliate relationships do not lock you into anything, and using or ignoring our links is entirely your decision. We simply hope that our reviews save you time and help you make a more informed choice.
