Terms and Conditions

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using the York City Walls website (yorkcitywalls.com, hereinafter referred to as "the Website," "the Site," "we," "us," or "our"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions, together with our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, which are incorporated herein by reference.

If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must not use this website. Your continued use of the Site following any changes to these terms constitutes your acceptance of those changes.

These Terms and Conditions were last updated on the date shown above. We recommend that you review these terms periodically to stay informed of any updates.

2. Description of Service

York City Walls is an informational and editorial website that provides reviews, guides, analysis, and commentary relating to online gambling sites and casinos that are not registered with the GamStop self-exclusion scheme. The Site is intended for informational purposes only.

It is important that you understand the following about the nature of our service:

• We are not a gambling operator. York City Walls does not operate any gambling services, does not accept bets or wagers, does not process deposits or withdrawals, and does not hold or manage player funds in any capacity.
• We are not a financial adviser. Nothing on this website constitutes financial, legal, or investment advice. Any decisions you make regarding gambling, including the choice to register with or deposit money at any gambling operator, are made entirely at your own risk and discretion.
• We are an independent editorial resource. Our reviews, ratings, and recommendations are based on our own testing and editorial judgement. We aim to provide accurate and useful information, but we cannot guarantee the completeness, accuracy, or timeliness of all content on the Site at all times.
• We do not endorse illegal activity. Our content is intended for use by adults in jurisdictions where online gambling is legal. It is your responsibility to ensure that your use of any gambling site complies with the laws applicable in your jurisdiction.

3. Affiliate Disclosure

York City Walls participates in affiliate marketing programmes with certain gambling operators featured on the Site. This means that some of the links on our website are affiliate links. When you click on an affiliate link and subsequently register an account, make a deposit, or take other qualifying actions at the linked gambling operator, we may receive a commission or referral fee from that operator.

You should be aware of the following regarding our affiliate relationships:

• Affiliate commissions are paid by the gambling operator, not by you. You will not be charged any additional fees, and the terms and conditions of the gambling operator's services will not be different as a result of using our affiliate links.
• Affiliate revenue is the primary source of income for this website and enables us to fund our editorial operations, pay our team, and maintain the Site as a free resource for readers.
• Our editorial content, including review scores, rankings, and recommendations, is produced independently of our affiliate relationships. Affiliate commissions do not influence our editorial judgement, and operators cannot purchase higher ratings or more favourable coverage.
• Not all gambling operators featured on the Site are affiliate partners. We may review and recommend sites with which we have no commercial relationship if they meet our quality standards.
• We may also feature advertising content on the Site, which will be clearly identified as such where applicable.

For further information about our editorial independence, please refer to our About Us page and our How We Review methodology.

4. Age Restriction

This website is intended exclusively for individuals aged 18 years or older. By accessing and using this Site, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age. If you are under 18, you must leave this website immediately.

Gambling is an activity restricted to adults. In the United Kingdom, the legal minimum age for gambling is 18. It is a criminal offence for anyone under the age of 18 to gamble, and it is a criminal offence for anyone to facilitate gambling by a person under 18.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 18. If we become aware that a person under 18 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information promptly.

5. No Guarantee of Accuracy

While we make every reasonable effort to ensure that the information published on this website is accurate, complete, and up to date, we do not warrant or guarantee the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness of any content on the Site.

The online gambling industry is dynamic, and the terms, conditions, bonuses, payment methods, and other features of gambling operators may change at any time without notice to us. Information that was accurate at the time of publication may subsequently become outdated or incorrect. We endeavour to update our content regularly, but there may be periods during which certain information on the Site is not current.

Specifically, and without limitation, we do not guarantee:

• That bonus amounts, wagering requirements, or promotional terms displayed on the Site reflect the current offers available at any gambling operator
• That payment methods, processing times, fees, or withdrawal limits are accurate at the time you access the relevant content
• That our review scores and ratings will remain unchanged, as we may update these based on new information, testing, or reader feedback
• That any gambling operator featured on the Site will continue to operate, maintain its licence, or provide the level of service described in our reviews
• That the regulatory or legal status of any gambling operator or jurisdiction will remain as described

You are advised to verify all information directly with the relevant gambling operator before making any decisions based on content published on this Site. You should always read the full terms and conditions of any gambling operator before registering or depositing funds.
