At Hillhouseretreats, we believe you have the right to know exactly how this website operates and how it generates revenue. This page exists to give you a complete, honest explanation of our affiliate relationships, how they work, and — crucially — how they do not influence the editorial independence of our reviews and recommendations.
Please read this disclosure carefully before using any links, recommendations, or reviews published on hillhouseretreats.co.uk.
An affiliate relationship is a formal commercial arrangement between a website publisher and a third-party business. In the context of Hillhouseretreats, we maintain affiliate partnerships with a number of betting operators and casino platforms — specifically those operating outside the GamStop self-exclusion scheme and accepting UK players.
When you click a link on this website and subsequently register an account or make a qualifying deposit with one of those operators, Hillhouseretreats may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator. This payment comes entirely from the operator and does not cost you anything additional. The odds, bonuses, and terms you receive are not affected by whether you arrived via our link.
No. The existence of an affiliate relationship with an operator does not — and will not — result in a more favourable review, a higher rating, or a recommendation that would not otherwise be warranted. James Hartwell applies a consistent, structured methodology to every review published on this site, regardless of commercial relationships.
Operators are evaluated across a fixed set of criteria, including but not limited to:
Negative findings are reported honestly. If an operator underperforms in any category, that is reflected in the published review. Hillhouseretreats does not accept payment in exchange for positive coverage.

In accordance with the guidelines issued by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) under 16 CFR Part 255, and in keeping with best practice standards for UK-based content publishers, hillhouseretreats.co.uk explicitly discloses all material connections between this website and the operators featured within it. The affiliate relationships described on this page represent a material connection as defined by applicable disclosure guidelines.
