Terms of Use

This page sets out what www.hopsinabottle.co.uk is and what it is not. It describes the site as it is actually built, and it does not borrow wording from any other kind of business because this site is not that kind of business.

What kind of site is this and what happens when a link is clicked?

This site is a static publication. Every page is a file built in advance and served from a content delivery network. The build contains no server-side application, no user account, and no form, input field or upload control of any kind. There is nothing here to register for, log into or submit.

The site runs no gambling service of its own. Where a link to an operator appears, it never opens that operator directly. Instead it is an address on this domain that answers with a redirect and hands the visitor onward to the operator's own tracking address. The build defines ten such redirect rules, and every destination they lead to is outside this domain. Each of these links is marked as a sponsored link and opens in a separate browser tab. Once that redirect happens, the reader has left this site: any transaction, account, wager, promise, or dispute belongs entirely to the operator's own service and the operator's own terms, not to this page.

The published inventory of this site is fixed at build time: the sitemap lists one address. Everything a page needs to display — styles, scripts, fonts and images — is served from this same domain, so nothing else is contacted while a page loads. If a visitor requests an address that does not exist, the response is marked so search engines will not index it and the visitor is sent straight back to the home page; a mistyped or expired link cannot become a page in its own right. Every page also carries a publication and modification date in its structured data, matching the date the sitemap publishes, so a reader can see exactly when this version of the text was issued.

What can this page not promise?

Because there is no registration, no account and no way to submit anything, nothing on this site can be created, suspended, terminated or transferred, and no visitor-generated content exists here to govern. There is also no e-mail address, telephone number, postal address or contact form built into this site, so these terms cannot promise a complaints channel, a response time or a named counterparty to contact. The only terms that actually bind anyone are those published by the operator a reader reaches after following a redirect.
