Why Advertise on York City Walls?
York City Walls is a specialist resource for UK players exploring betting sites and casinos not registered with GamStop. Our audience is engaged, high-intent, and actively seeking new gambling platforms. Unlike general entertainment or news websites, every visitor to York City Walls arrives with a specific interest in online gambling -- making our traffic exceptionally valuable for operators, affiliates, and gambling-adjacent businesses.
What sets us apart from other non-GamStop review sites is our commitment to editorial integrity. We maintain a public casino blacklist, publish our complete review methodology, and employ a GamCare-certified responsible gambling advocate. This credibility translates directly into reader trust -- and trusted recommendations convert better than generic advertising.

Advertising Options
Sponsored Reviews
We offer sponsored review placements for gambling operators who want their site assessed and featured on York City Walls. Sponsored reviews are clearly labelled as such and follow the same rigorous testing methodology as our organic reviews. The operator pays for the review to be conducted and published, but they do not control the content, score, or outcome. If a sponsored review reveals serious issues, we will publish an honest assessment -- we do not produce paid positive reviews.
Display Advertising
Banner and display advertising placements are available across the site, including header, sidebar, in-content, and footer positions. We offer both fixed-rate and CPM pricing models depending on placement and campaign duration. All display ads must comply with UK advertising standards and include appropriate age-restriction messaging.
Affiliate Partnerships
We work with gambling operators on a revenue-share or CPA (cost per acquisition) basis. If your site meets our quality standards and passes our review process, we can include it in our recommendations with tracked affiliate links. Note that we only enter into affiliate partnerships with operators that have passed our independent review -- we do not list sites purely for commercial reasons.
Content Partnerships
We are open to content collaborations including guest expert articles, data partnerships, industry reports, and co-branded guides. These are particularly relevant for responsible gambling organisations, gambling technology companies, and payment providers serving the online gambling sector.
Editorial Independence Guarantee
Our Firm Commitment
Advertising and editorial are completely separate at York City Walls. No advertiser, sponsor, or partner can influence our review scores, rankings, editorial decisions, or blacklist entries. This policy is non-negotiable and applies to all commercial relationships without exception.
Our editorial team operates independently from our commercial arrangements. Reviewers do not know which operators are advertising partners, and commercial staff do not have input into editorial content. All sponsored content is clearly labelled, and all affiliate relationships are disclosed.
We have declined advertising from operators that failed our review standards, and we have blacklisted operators with whom we had active advertising relationships when evidence of wrongdoing emerged. Our readers' trust is worth more than any advertising contract.
