At Oiac (oiac.co.uk), we believe that honesty is the foundation of every useful review. This page exists to be completely transparent about how this website operates commercially, how we earn money, and how that commercial relationship affects — or more importantly, does not affect — 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.
Some of the links on oiac.co.uk are affiliate links. This means that when you click on a link pointing to a casino or betting operator and subsequently register an account or make a deposit, Oiac may receive a commission payment from that operator. This commission comes at no extra cost to you — you pay exactly the same whether you use our link or navigate directly to the operator's website yourself.
Affiliate partnerships are a standard commercial arrangement across the online publishing industry. They allow websites like Oiac to fund the research, writing, and maintenance required to produce detailed, reliable content for readers.
Oiac maintains affiliate agreements with a number of non Gamstop betting sites and casino operators reviewed on this website. When a qualifying action occurs through one of our tracked links, the relevant operator pays us a referral fee. The fee structure varies by operator and may take the form of:
These arrangements are governed by individual affiliate programme agreements between Oiac and each operator.
No. Our editorial independence is non-negotiable. The existence of an affiliate relationship with an operator does not guarantee that operator a positive review, a featured placement, or a recommendation on this website. Equally, operators with whom we have no commercial relationship are reviewed fairly and included where they merit coverage.
James Whitfield, the author and owner of Oiac, personally researches, tests, and writes all reviews and recommendations published on this site. James applies a consistent methodology to every operator reviewed, regardless of whether a commercial relationship exists.
Every non Gamstop betting site reviewed on oiac.co.uk is assessed against a defined set of criteria, including but not limited to:
Operators are scored objectively. Where significant drawbacks exist, they are reported clearly and honestly within the review. A commission relationship does not soften criticism where criticism is warranted.
James Whitfield has spent years analysing the UK and international online gambling markets, with a specific focus on operators that fall outside the Gamstop self-exclusion scheme. His reviews reflect direct testing experience, ongoing market monitoring, and a commitment to providing UK readers with accurate, up-to-date information. James's editorial judgements are his own and are not subject to approval, review, or influence by any operator or affiliate network.
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, and in line with UK consumer transparency expectations, oiac.co.uk discloses all material connections between this website and the operators featured within it. The presence of affiliate links on any page of this website constitutes a material connection and is disclosed accordingly.
If you have any questions about how Oiac earns revenue, how our affiliate relationships are structured, or how our editorial process works, you are welcome to contact James Whitfield directly through the contact page on oiac.co.uk. We are committed to answering transparency-related questions openly and promptly.
