Advertising Disclosure

Last Updated: November 18, 2025

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Player Hub, we believe in maintaining complete transparency about our advertising relationships and how we generate revenue. This disclosure page explains how advertising and affiliate partnerships may affect the content you see on our website and the recommendations we make.

We want you to understand exactly when and how we receive compensation for the content, products, or services we feature. This transparency helps you make informed decisions and reinforces the trust you place in our community platform services.

All information on this page complies with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines regarding advertising disclosure and endorsement practices.

Affiliate Relationships and Partnerships

Affiliate Program Participation

Player Hub participates in various affiliate marketing programs. This means we may earn commissions when you click on certain links or make purchases through our website. These affiliate relationships help support the free content and resources we provide.

  • We partner with software providers, technology platforms, and service vendors relevant to arcade and gaming venue management
  • Affiliate links may appear in blog posts, resource pages, or recommendation sections
  • We clearly disclose when links are affiliate links, either through labels or contextual information
  • Our affiliate partnerships do not influence the objectivity of our advice or recommendations

Commission-Based Link Explanations

When you use our affiliate links, here's what happens:

  • No Additional Cost: Using our affiliate links does not increase the price you pay. The cost remains the same whether you use our link or go directly to the provider
  • Commission Structure: We receive a small percentage of the purchase price or a fixed commission from the vendor when you make a qualifying purchase
  • Cookie Tracking: Affiliate links use cookies to track purchases made within a certain timeframe after clicking, typically ranging from 24 hours to 90 days
  • Support Our Content: These commissions help fund our educational content, website maintenance, and service development

Product Recommendation Policies

Our product and service recommendations follow strict guidelines:

  • We only recommend products and services we believe will genuinely benefit arcade gaming venues and community managers
  • All recommendations are based on our assessment of quality, functionality, and value
  • We test and evaluate products when possible before making recommendations
  • The existence of an affiliate relationship does not guarantee a positive recommendation
  • We clearly distinguish between sponsored content and organic recommendations
  • Negative experiences or limitations are disclosed even for affiliate products

Financial Relationship Transparency

We maintain complete transparency about our financial relationships. When we recommend a product or service with which we have an affiliate relationship, we disclose this connection clearly. Our recommendations are based primarily on the value we believe these products offer to our audience, not solely on potential commission earnings. We prioritize your trust and satisfaction over short-term financial gain.

Sponsored Content and Paid Promotions

Identification of Paid Content

We may publish sponsored content or accept payment for featuring specific products, services, or brands. When we do, we clearly identify such content through:

  • Prominent labels such as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," or "Advertisement"
  • Disclosure statements at the beginning of sponsored articles or posts
  • Visual indicators that distinguish sponsored content from regular content
  • Clear attribution to the sponsoring company or brand

Sponsored content will never be disguised as organic content, and all paid relationships will be disclosed upfront.

Sponsored Post Labeling Policies

Every sponsored post or paid promotion on our website includes clear labeling that meets FTC guidelines. This ensures you always know when content has been created in exchange for compensation. We maintain editorial control over sponsored content to ensure it provides value to our audience while meeting the sponsor's objectives. The presence of sponsorship does not compromise the accuracy or usefulness of the information provided.

Brand Partnership Disclosures

Player Hub may enter into formal partnerships with brands, technology providers, or service companies. These partnerships may involve:

  • Co-branded content or resources
  • Joint webinars or educational events
  • Featured case studies or success stories
  • Integration showcases or demonstrations

All brand partnerships are disclosed clearly, and we only partner with organizations whose values align with ours and whose products genuinely serve our audience.

Content Authenticity Guarantees

Whether sponsored or organic, all content on Player Hub meets our quality standards. We guarantee that sponsored content is accurate, useful, and relevant to arcade gaming communities. Sponsors do not control our editorial voice, and we reserve the right to refuse sponsorships that don't align with our values or serve our audience's interests. Our reputation and your trust are more valuable than any advertising revenue.

Third-Party Advertising Networks

Display Advertising Networks Used

We may use third-party advertising networks to display advertisements on our website. These networks serve ads based on various factors and help us monetize our content. Current advertising partners may include:

  • Google AdSense and Google Ad Manager for contextual advertising
  • Industry-specific ad networks relevant to gaming and entertainment
  • Programmatic advertising platforms that auction ad space automatically

We carefully select advertising partners and review ads for appropriateness, though we cannot control every ad that appears through programmatic networks.

Behavioral Targeting Disclosure

Third-party advertising networks may use behavioral targeting to serve relevant ads based on your browsing history and interests. This targeting uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your online activities across websites.

Ad Personalization Practices

Personalized advertising helps show you ads that are more relevant to your interests. However, we respect your choices regarding ad personalization. You can adjust your ad preferences through your browser settings, device settings, or through platform-specific opt-out tools. Disabling personalized ads will result in seeing generic advertisements instead of targeted ones.
