Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: January 2026. This disclosure applies to all content published on ocean-hotel.co.uk by site owner and primary author James Whitfield.

Our Relationship With Crypto Casino Operators

Ocean Hotel (ocean-hotel.co.uk) participates in affiliate marketing programmes operated by a number of online and crypto casino brands. This means that when you click a link on this website that directs you to a casino or gambling platform, Ocean Hotel may receive a financial commission if you subsequently register an account, make a deposit, or complete another qualifying action on that platform.

These commissions are paid directly by the casino operators to Ocean Hotel and represent a primary source of revenue that allows this website to operate, publish research, and provide free consumer guidance to readers in Great Britain and beyond.

What Are Affiliate Links?

An affiliate link is a specially tracked web address. When you click one, the destination website records that you arrived via ocean-hotel.co.uk. If you go on to complete a specified action — such as creating an account or depositing funds — the operator pays Ocean Hotel a pre-agreed commission. This process:

Does not increase the price you pay or reduce any bonus or promotion you receive
Does not share your personal data with Ocean Hotel beyond the referral tracking code
Does not obligate you to make any purchase or deposit
Is standard practice across comparison and review websites worldwide

Editorial Independence and Objectivity

The existence of affiliate relationships does not influence the editorial content published on this site. James Whitfield maintains complete independence when researching, scoring, and writing reviews. Casinos are evaluated on their merits alone. An operator paying higher commissions does not receive a higher rating, a more favourable review, or preferential placement in any ranking list.

Ocean Hotel has declined affiliate arrangements with operators that failed to meet the site's minimum standards for player safety, licence credibility, payment reliability, and responsible gambling tools. Reader trust is considered more valuable than short-term commission revenue.

How Reviews Are Produced

Every crypto casino reviewed on ocean-hotel.co.uk is assessed using a consistent, documented methodology developed by James Whitfield. The review process includes:

Licence verification: Checking regulatory status with the relevant licensing authority before any other evaluation begins
Cryptocurrency support: Testing accepted coins, wallet compatibility, and on-chain withdrawal speeds

Bonus terms analysis: Reading wagering requirements, eligible games, and withdrawal caps in full
Game library audit: Reviewing software providers, RTP transparency, and game variety
