Affiliate Disclosure

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Aki Japanfood (aki-japanfood.com), we believe that honesty is the foundation of every trustworthy review website. This page exists to give you a clear, plain-English explanation of how this site earns money, how that commercial relationship works, and why it does not influence the editorial content you read here.

Please read this disclosure carefully before using any links, recommendations, or reviews published on this website.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Some of the links on aki-japanfood.com are affiliate links. This means that when you click on a link to a casino or gambling operator featured on this site and subsequently register an account or make a qualifying deposit, Aki Japanfood may receive a commission payment from that operator.

This commission comes at no extra cost to you. You will never pay more for a product or service by clicking through from this website. The operators themselves pay the commission as part of their own marketing arrangements.

How Affiliate Relationships Work

Affiliate marketing is a standard and widely used commercial model across the online publishing industry. Here is how it works in practice on this site:

• An operator listed on aki-japanfood.com may have a pre-existing affiliate agreement with this site.
• A unique tracking link is embedded in the relevant casino listing or review.
• If you click that link and complete a qualifying action — such as registering or depositing — a commission may be triggered.
• The commission is paid by the operator, not deducted from your balance or bonus.
• The existence of this arrangement is disclosed clearly, as required by FTC guidelines and applicable advertising standards.

Does This Affect Our Reviews?

No. The presence or absence of an affiliate relationship has no bearing on the scores, ratings, or written assessments published on this website. Matthew Hargreaves, the owner and primary reviewer at Aki Japanfood, applies the same consistent methodology to every operator reviewed, regardless of whether a commercial relationship exists.

Casinos that perform poorly in our evaluation process will receive honest, critical reviews. Casinos will not receive favourable treatment simply because they pay a higher commission rate. We do not accept payment in exchange for positive reviews.

Our Review Methodology

Every casino reviewed on this website is assessed against a defined set of criteria developed by Matthew Hargreaves based on extensive research and direct experience in the non-GamStop casino market. The core evaluation areas include:

• Licensing and regulatory status — whether the operator holds a valid licence from a recognised authority
• Player safety measures — responsible gambling tools available to British players
• Bonus terms and fairness — wagering requirements, maximum cashouts, and restrictions
• Game library and software providers — quality, variety, and fairness of available titles
• Payment methods and withdrawal speeds — options available to players based in Great Britain
• Customer support quality — responsiveness and availability of support channels

Ratings are assigned independently after this review process is completed. No operator is given the opportunity to influence, edit, or approve their review before publication.
