Affiliate Disclosure

At Sports Ecyclopedia, transparency and trust are central to everything we publish. This page explains how our affiliate relationships work and how they support our independent sports and betting coverage.

Why this disclosure matters

We believe readers deserve to know how a website earns revenue and how that might relate to the content they see. Our goal is to ensure that every recommendation, review, and comparison is honest, accurate, and free from undue influence.

How we earn revenue

Some of the links on Sports Ecyclopedia are affiliate links. This means we may earn a small commission if you click on a link and register or make a purchase with one of our partner sites.

These commissions:

  • Do not cost you anything extra.

  • Do not affect our opinions, reviews, or recommendations.

  • Help support our journalism, research, and responsible gambling education.

Affiliate links allow us to operate as a free, reader-supported publication while maintaining the independence of our editorial content.

Our affiliate standards

We only partner with licensed, regulated, and reputable operators that meet our internal safety and fairness criteria.

Before any partner is featured, our editorial team:

  • Verifies the operator’s licensing and regulatory status.

  • Tests platform functionality, payout speed, and user experience.

  • Confirms compliance with responsible gambling and data protection standards.

Our partnerships are reviewed regularly to ensure ongoing compliance and integrity.

Editorial independence

All editorial content on Sports Ecyclopedia is produced independently of our affiliate relationships.

Writers and editors are not compensated by operators and are never instructed to promote or rank one brand over another. Reviews, comparisons, and guides are written based on objective testing, user feedback, and verified data.

Commercial relationships have no impact on:

  • Rankings or ratings of sportsbooks or casinos.

  • The tone or conclusions of reviews.

  • Inclusion or exclusion of brands in our guides.

Editorial decisions rest solely with our editorial team.

Responsible gambling

We promote safe and responsible play at all times. Sports Ecyclopedia only features operators that are legally licensed in the United States and provide tools to help users manage their gaming activity responsibly.

If you or someone you know may be experiencing gambling-related harm, please visit our Responsible Gambling page for resources and support.

Affiliate partnerships and disclosures in content

When an article contains affiliate links, we make that clear within the content, typically through a short disclosure at the top or bottom of the page.

Example:

Sports Ecyclopedia may receive a commission if you sign up through links on this page. Our reviews are independent and based on expert analysis.

This ensures every reader knows when affiliate links are present and can make an informed decision.

Our commitment to readers

Our readers always come first. We strive to recommend only products, platforms, and services that we would personally trust and use.

We continually test and update our information to maintain accuracy, transparency, and accountability across the site.

Final note

Sports Ecyclopedia’s mission is to make sports coverage and betting education honest, accessible, and responsible. Our affiliate partnerships help us stay independent and continue producing high-quality, expert-driven content, always putting the reader first.
