Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: January 2026

At Sealwoodcottage (sealwoodcottage.co.uk), operated by Daniel Johnson, we are committed to transparency and honesty with our readers. This page explains our affiliate relationships, how they work, and how we maintain editorial independence despite earning commissions from casino operators.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Sealwoodcottage contains affiliate links to online casinos and gambling operators. An affiliate link is a special URL that includes a unique tracking code. When you click an affiliate link on our website and register with or make a deposit at a casino operator, that operator pays Sealwoodcottage a commission.

These commissions are a standard practice in the online casino review industry. They allow us to operate our website, conduct thorough research, and provide free casino reviews and recommendations to Canadian players.

How Affiliate Commissions Work

The commission structure is straightforward:

• You click an affiliate link on Sealwoodcottage
• The link tracks your visit to the casino operator's website
• If you register an account or make a deposit, the operator notifies us
• Sealwoodcottage receives a commission from the operator
• You pay nothing extra – the commission comes from the operator's marketing budget, not from your deposits

Your costs and experience at the casino are identical whether you use an affiliate link or visit directly.

Our Commitment to Independence

Our affiliate relationships do not influence our reviews or recommendations. Daniel Johnson maintains complete editorial independence when evaluating casino operators. We do not:

• Rank casinos higher because they offer larger affiliate commissions
• Give favorable reviews to operators in exchange for payments
• Exclude operators from review consideration because of low commission rates
• Allow financial relationships to compromise the quality or honesty of our assessments

Every casino review on Sealwoodcottage is based on objective criteria including licensing, security, game selection, customer support, payment methods, bonus fairness, and user experience.

Our Review Methodology

Daniel Johnson uses a rigorous, evidence-based approach to casino evaluation:

• Regulatory Verification: Confirming each operator holds valid licenses from recognized Canadian jurisdictions or international regulators
• Security Testing: Assessing encryption standards, data protection, and responsible gambling tools
• Hands-On Testing: Creating accounts, testing gameplay, evaluating user interface, and assessing customer support responsiveness
• Bonus Analysis: Reviewing wagering requirements, terms, and fairness of promotional offers
• Payment Verification: Testing deposit and withdrawal processes for speed and reliability
• Independent Research: Reviewing player feedback, complaints, and industry reports

This methodology ensures our recommendations prioritize player safety and satisfaction over commission potential.
