Affiliate Disclosure & Outbound Link Policy

This template may be used for review pages that include commercial outbound links. If links can generate commissions, disclose that clearly and keep the ranking method transparent.

Disclosure principles

Clear: Users should not have to guess whether a link is commercial.
Visible: Disclosure should sit near rankings, reviews, and outbound-link areas.
Consistent: All commercial links use rel="sponsored nofollow".
Independent: Commercial relationships should not hide risks or override scoring methods.

Sample disclosure copy

We may earn commissions from some outbound links. Commercial relationships do not override our published review methodology. Users are responsible for verifying whether online betting is legal in their jurisdiction and for reviewing all operator terms.

Link policy

Outbound link example

Official-site buttons should use the following attributes:

<a href="#" rel="sponsored nofollow" target="_blank">Visit Official Site</a>

FAQ

Affiliate Disclosure FAQ

What is an affiliate disclosure?

If outbound links may generate commissions, the site should tell users clearly and explain that commercial relationships do not override the published methodology.

Why add rel attributes to outbound links?

Commercial links should be clearly marked so search engines can understand the link relationship and users are not misled.

Can commercial relationships be hidden?

No. Disclosures should be clear, visible, and close to relevant outbound links or recommendation blocks.
