At VideoGamer, we believe in being completely transparent with our community. This page explains how we use affiliate partnerships to keep our content free and how these relationships work in practice.
Some links on VideoGamer are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission when you click through and make a purchase or sign up for a service. This comes at no additional cost to you. You’ll pay exactly the same price you would have paid otherwise.
These affiliate relationships never influence what we recommend or how we review games, websites, hardware, or services.
What Are Affiliate Links?
An affiliate link is a special tracking URL that lets our partners know when a visitor has come from VideoGamer. If you click one of these links and then make a purchase or sign up for a service, we receive a small commission from the company.
These commissions help us keep the lights on, covering everything from server costs and equipment to paying our talented writers and editors. They allow us to continue delivering the content you love without charging subscription fees or cluttering our pages with intrusive advertising.
How We Choose What to Recommend
We only recommend products, games, and services that we genuinely believe offer value to our readers. Our review process is thorough and independent. We test games and sites ourselves, research hardware extensively, and evaluate services based on their actual merits.
If we wouldn’t personally use or recommend something to a friend, we won’t recommend it to you, regardless of potential commission.
Our Commitment to Editorial Independence
Our editorial team operates completely independently from our commercial partnerships. Reviews, buying guides, and recommendations are based solely on:
- Real, hands-on experience with the products we cover
- Thorough research and testing
- Genuine assessment of quality and value
- Honest evaluation of whether something is right for our audience
Types of Affiliate Partnerships
VideoGamer may participate in various affiliate programs, including but not limited to digital gaming sites, igaming sites, gaming hardware retailers, and subscription services.
Some of our affiliate partners include major retailers and digital platforms in the gaming and betting industry. These relationships allow us to provide direct links to products and services we discuss, making it convenient for you to make purchases if you choose to do so.
Your Trust Matters to Us
When you use our affiliate links, you’re directly supporting VideoGamer and helping us continue to produce high-quality gaming content. We don’t take that support lightly, and we work hard to earn your trust with every article we publish.
Our goal is simple: to be your most reliable source for gaming news, reviews, and recommendations. That means maintaining complete honesty about our commercial relationships while never compromising on the quality or integrity of our content.
Questions or Concerns?
We’re committed to transparency in everything we do. If you have questions about our affiliate disclosure, specific partnerships, or how we maintain editorial independence, we’d love to hear from you. Please feel free to contact us. We’re always happy to provide additional information.
Thank you for being part of the VideoGamer community and for trusting us as your source for gaming content.
