Disclosure & Advertising Policy

Last updated: 05.09.2025

SkinCrates is an independent review website. We do not host games or accept deposits. Some links on this site are commercial. This page explains how affiliate links, sponsored placements, and ads work on SkinCrates, and how we keep our editorial decisions independent.

Editorial Independence

Our reviews and rankings are created by editors and subject-matter reviewers. Commercial relationships do not change our scores, verdicts, or the text of our reviews. Details about our testing workflow and scoring are available in our Editorial & Review Policy.

Affiliate Disclosure

Some outbound links on SkinCrates are affiliate links. If you click and register or make a qualifying action, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate partnerships help fund our research, testing time, and maintenance.

• Affiliate links are marked with rel="sponsored nofollow" and may include tracking parameters (e.g., UTM).
• Commissions do not influence our editorial ratings, recommendations, or the order of non-sponsored items.
• Where possible, we provide the same or better offers than you would find by visiting the partner directly.

Sponsored Content & Paid Placements

We may host paid placements that are clearly labeled “Sponsored” or “Ad”. Sponsored placements are separate from editorial content and do not affect our review scores.

• Visual labels: “Sponsored”, “Ad”, or equivalent wording appears on the card, list row, or module where the placement occurs.
• Separation: Sponsored sections are visually separated from editorial lists where feasible.
• Positioning: Paid placements may affect layout position within clearly marked sponsored areas, but they do not change editorial rankings outside those areas.
• Fact checks: All marketing claims must be accurate, current, and verifiable. We may refuse or remove placements that cannot be substantiated.

What We Do Not Sell

• We do not sell positive reviews, scores, or editorial positions.
• We do not guarantee inclusion in editorial lists or “top” placements.
• We do not accept creative that misleads users about risk, licensing, or eligibility.

Advertising Guidelines for Partners

• Accuracy: Bonuses, eligibility, wagering requirements, cash-out limits, and geoblocks must be stated clearly and match your live terms.
• Audience: Content must be suitable for adults only (18+ or the legal age in the user’s country). No targeting of minors.
• Compliance: Ads must comply with applicable advertising standards and local laws. We may request license numbers or compliance contacts.
• Creative Standards: No deceptive timers, fake scarcity, or fabricated “wins”. No hate, harassment, or unsafe financial claims.
• Tracking: Tracking pixels or redirects must respect our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

Outbound Link Policy

• Commercial links include rel="sponsored nofollow" (and noopener where applicable).
• We periodically review links and may update, add warnings, or remove links that become unsafe or misleading.
• If you notice a broken or risky link, please notify us via Contact.

Data, Cookies, and Privacy

We use analytics and, where consented, advertising cookies to understand readership and measure campaign performance. For details, retention periods, and user choices, see our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

Responsible Gaming
