Our Affiliate Relationships
Some links on Gaming America are affiliate links. If you click one and complete a qualifying action such as registering, purchasing, or placing a wager, we may receive a commission. These commissions never cost you extra and do not influence our editorial decisions, recommendations, or coverage priorities.
How Affiliate Marketing Supports Us
Affiliate revenue allows us to operate as an independent publication while offering free, high-quality reporting. This income supports:
- Journalist and contributor compensation
- Website infrastructure and hosting
- Research tools and data subscriptions
- Editorial oversight and fact-checking
- Technical maintenance and content delivery
This model lets us avoid paywalls and intrusive advertising while maintaining a strong reader experience.
Understanding Affiliate Links
Affiliate links contain tracking parameters that identify Gaming America as the referral source. If you complete a qualifying action, we may earn a commission. These tracking methods do not collect personally identifiable information beyond what is needed to attribute referrals and do not affect pricing or your experience on partner sites.
Editorial Independence and Integrity
We maintain a strict separation between editorial and commercial operations. Our coverage is guided by news value and merit. Reviews and analysis reflect genuine assessment, and we report on companies regardless of affiliate status. We decline partnerships with organizations that do not meet our standards for legitimacy and consumer protection.
If we would not trust or recommend a platform ourselves, we do not feature it.
Our Review Methodology
Our evaluative content is based on independent analysis across key criteria:
- Licensing and regulatory compliance
- Security and data protection
- Product quality and user experience
- Payment reliability and withdrawal speeds
- Customer support standards
- Industry reputation and user feedback
- Responsible gaming measures
Affiliate relationships never influence these assessments.
Transparency in Disclosure
When affiliate links appear, we clearly disclose them within the article or in designated sections. Sponsored or promotional content is always labeled. Editorial content remains completely independent.
Supporting Independent Journalism
Using our affiliate links helps fund reporting, investigative work, and industry coverage while keeping the site free for all readers. It also supports our commitment to maintaining independence from corporate influence.
Questions and Accountability
We welcome inquiries about our affiliate practices or partnerships. For any questions, please contact us. Transparency includes being available to explain how we operate.
Ongoing Commitment
If our revenue model or affiliate practices change, we will update this disclosure accordingly. Our mission remains constant. We aim to deliver authoritative, independent journalism that serves readers first.
