Advertising Policy
Last updated
Independence is the only thing this site has to offer. Stating the commercial model plainly is part of keeping it.
How this site is funded
iGaming Hub is funded by its owners. It does not sell advertising, rankings, review scores, catalog listings or paid reviews.
There are no affiliate or referral links on the site, so iGaming Hub earns nothing when a reader follows a provider link or signs a contract.
Editorial independence from advertising
No provider can pay for a score, a ranking position, a tier, or inclusion in the catalog. The same seven-factor model is applied to every provider regardless of any commercial relationship.
Nobody outside the editorial desk sees a rating before publication. No commercial agreement we hold contains any term about ratings, rankings or editorial coverage, and we will not sign one that does. A provider that asks for that will be told so, and it will not affect their rating in either direction.
What is available commercially
Nothing connected to editorial coverage or placement is currently sold. In particular, the following are not available:
- Display placements or promoted listings.
- Sponsored or paid articles.
- Affiliate links on provider profiles.
What is not available at any price
Nothing below is for sale, and no commercial conversation changes that:
- A score, a tier, or a position in any ranking.
- Inclusion in — or removal from — the provider catalog.
- Sight of a rating before it is published, or a right of reply built into it.
- Editing, softening or deleting a trade-off, a risk note or a verdict.
- Removal of a competitor, or a promise not to cover one.
A provider that asks for any of it will be told no, and the asking will not move their rating in either direction.
How advertising is labelled
The site currently carries no advertising, sponsored content or affiliate links.
If that changes, the policy and the affected page will be updated before publication, and any paid material will be separated and labelled before the reader reaches it.
Advertising we refuse
We decline advertising that:
- Is aimed at players rather than at operators.
- Promotes unlicensed gambling operation, or licence evasion.
- Is designed to be mistaken for editorial content.
- Makes a claim about a provider we could not source ourselves.
A note on scope
We compare payment providers for operators. We do not promote gambling to players, we do not carry operator affiliate links, and we do not accept advertising aimed at players. Our reader is on the operator side of the industry, and the commercial model follows that.
