Quick answer: This is the advertising disclosure for EliteSlotGames. We label advertising, sponsored content and press releases, and we use affiliate links to some licensed operators. Paid arrangements never influence our reviews, scores or rankings, and everything commercial is disclosed in line with the FTC endorsement guidelines.
Key takeaways
- We disclose all paid and affiliate relationships clearly.
- We label advertising, sponsored content and press releases as commercial.
- We separate money from editorial — reviews are never for sale.
- Affiliate links may earn us a commission at no cost to you and do not change our verdicts.
- 18+ only — we publish information and reviews and do not facilitate gambling.
What we disclose and why
Readers deserve to know when content is paid for. That is both the right thing to do and a requirement under the FTC endorsement guidelines. So on EliteSlotGames we make commercial relationships visible rather than hiding them, and we keep them separate from our independent editorial.
Types of commercial content on EliteSlotGames
- Advertising — display placements and sponsorships, labelled as advertising.
- Sponsored content — paid articles, labelled “sponsored”.
- Press releases — company-supplied announcements, labelled as such.
- Affiliate links — links to licensed operators that may earn us a commission.
How affiliate links are disclosed
Where a link to a licensed operator is an affiliate link, we may earn a commission if you sign up through it, at no extra cost to you. We disclose that these links exist, and their presence never affects our review score, ranking or the drawbacks we publish. We only include affiliate links for operators we are prepared to write about honestly.
How sponsored and paid content is labelled
Sponsored articles carry a clear “sponsored” label; press releases are marked as company-supplied announcements; advertising is identified as advertising. We will not remove or soften these labels, because doing so would mislead you and defeat the purpose of disclosure. If you ever see commercial content here that is not clearly labelled, please tell us via the contact page.
What advertising never buys
Paid arrangements do not buy a review, a score, a ranking or an editorial endorsement. We do not sell undisclosed or disguised paid links, we do not accept “pay to be reviewed” deals, and we decline revenue conditioned on changing our verdict. Our editorial is decided by our team on merit alone.
Our compliance commitments
- Licensed brands only — we work with operators that hold the relevant licences.
- Lawful promotion — advertising must comply with the rules of each target market.
- No appeal to minors — all content is for adults aged 18 and over.
- No guaranteed wins — we do not publish promises of winnings or invented odds, RTP or payout figures.
- Responsible gambling — commercial content carries responsible-gambling messaging.
Responsible gambling
EliteSlotGames is an information and review site for adults. We do not operate a casino, take bets or process any gambling transaction. Our subject can carry real financial risk, so we include responsible-gambling context and expect our commercial partners to do the same.
18+ only. Gamble responsibly. If gambling is causing harm, seek help — support such as GamCare, GambleAware or a local helpline is available in most regions.
Questions about our disclosures
If anything about how we label commercial content is unclear, or you think something is not properly disclosed, contact us via the contact page. We take disclosure seriously because your trust is what makes both our reviews and our advertising worthwhile. You can also read how we make money for the full picture.
Gifts, trials and event access
Sometimes an operator or studio offers a free trial, access to a game ahead of launch, or an invitation to an event so we can report on it. We treat these the same way responsible publications do:
- Access does not buy coverage — accepting a trial or invite creates no obligation to publish, or to publish positively.
- We disclose it where it is relevant to something we write.
- We keep our judgement — a hands-on look informs an honest review, drawbacks included.
- We decline anything that comes with conditions attached to our verdict.
Reader-supplied and third-party content
Where we publish contributor articles, press releases or comments, we label company-supplied and sponsored material clearly and review it for compliance. Independent editorial and reader contributions are handled on their own terms, and we do not let a commercial relationship quietly shape either.
Keeping this disclosure current
Our commercial arrangements can change as the site grows, so we review this page from time to time to keep it accurate. If our approach to advertising, affiliate links or sponsored content changes in a way that affects readers, we will update this disclosure to reflect it. The principle behind it does not change: paid is labelled, editorial is independent, and both are held to 18+ and responsible-gambling standards.
