Disclosure & Transparency Policy

Last Updated: January 2025

At iGaming Online, we believe in transparency and honesty with our readers. This Disclosure and Transparency Policy explains our business relationships, revenue sources, and how we maintain editorial independence despite these relationships.

Our commitment to transparency is fundamental to maintaining trust with our audience. We disclose all material relationships that could potentially influence our editorial content.

If we publish sponsored content or native advertising:

  • It will be clearly labeled as "Sponsored," "Advertisement," or "Promoted Content"
  • It will be visually distinct from our editorial content
  • It will not be presented as editorial content
