WHAT IS AFFILIATE MARKETING
Spirited Gamer participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that when you click certain links on our site and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the retailer or service — at no additional cost to you.
Think of it like a referral fee. We point you to something useful, you buy it, and the company thanks us with a small cut. You pay exactly the same price you would have paid without the link.
FTC & INTERNATIONAL COMPLIANCE
In accordance with the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), and similar regulations in other countries, we are required to disclose any material connection between us and the products or services we recommend.
This page serves as our global disclosure. In addition, individual articles, reviews, and pages that contain affiliate links will include a clear disclosure notice near the top.
AFFILIATE PROGRAMS WE USE
We currently participate in or may participate in the following types of affiliate programs:
- Amazon Associates — for gaming gear, books, health products, and more. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
- Gaming hardware & peripherals — controllers, headsets, monitors, chairs
- Software & subscriptions — productivity tools, VPNs, streaming software
- Health & fitness products — supplements, equipment, wellness apps
- Online courses & education platforms — for career and upskilling content
- Financial tools & apps — budgeting apps, investment platforms
- Hosting & website tools — relevant to creator and business content
This list may be updated as we add new partnerships. When in doubt, assume any product link could be an affiliate link.
OUR PROMISE TO YOU
We take our credibility seriously. Here is what we commit to:
- We will never recommend a product solely because it pays a higher commission
- We will always share our honest opinion, including negatives where they exist
- We will clearly label affiliate content and sponsored posts
- Affiliate relationships will never influence our editorial independence
- We only recommend products we would genuinely use or have used ourselves
The trust of the Spirited Gamer community matters more than any commission. If we ever feel a product doesn’t meet our standards, we won’t recommend it — simple as that.
SPONSORED CONTENT
In addition to affiliate links, we may occasionally publish sponsored content — articles, reviews, or features that are paid for by a brand or company. All sponsored content will be clearly labeled with a “Sponsored,” “Paid Partnership,” or “Ad” disclosure at the top of the content.
Even for sponsored content, our editorial standards apply. We reserve the right to decline sponsorships that conflict with our values or that we believe would not serve our audience.
DISPLAY ADVERTISING
Spirited Gamer displays third-party advertisements through Google AdSense and potentially other advertising networks. These ads are served automatically based on content relevance and your browsing history. We do not personally endorse the products or services advertised.
Ad placements are clearly separated from editorial content and are labeled “Advertisement” or “Ad.”
PRICES & AVAILABILITY
Product prices and availability mentioned in our content are accurate at the time of publication but may change. Always check the retailer’s website for the most current price before purchasing. We are not responsible for price discrepancies between what we mention and what you find at checkout.
