Advertising Disclosure

Last Updated: October 18, 2025

At Coin Logic, we believe in complete transparency regarding our advertising and affiliate relationships. This disclosure explains how we may earn compensation through various advertising channels and how this affects our content and recommendations.

We are committed to maintaining the trust of our visitors and clients. This page provides comprehensive information about our advertising practices in compliance with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines and applicable consumer protection regulations.

Affiliate Relationships and Compensation

Affiliate Program Participation

Coin Logic participates in various affiliate marketing programs. This means that:

  • We may include affiliate links to products, services, or tools we recommend
  • When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a commission
  • The price you pay is not affected by our affiliate relationship
  • We only recommend products and services we genuinely believe add value to arcade game developers

Commission-Based Links

Our affiliate relationships include:

  • Software development tools and platforms we use or recommend
  • Cloud hosting services and infrastructure providers
  • Game development resources and educational materials
  • Marketing and analytics tools relevant to game development

When we include affiliate links, they will be clearly identified or marked when possible and practical.

Product Recommendation Policy

Our product recommendations are based on:

  • Direct experience using the products or services in our development work
  • Thorough research and evaluation of features and benefits
  • Feedback from clients and industry peers
  • Alignment with the specific needs of arcade game developers

We never recommend products solely based on potential commission earnings. Our primary consideration is always what provides genuine value to our clients and the game development community.

Financial Relationship Transparency

We maintain complete transparency about our financial relationships. When we have a material connection with a company whose products or services we discuss, we disclose that relationship. This includes affiliate partnerships, sponsorships, and any other compensation arrangements that might influence our content.

Sponsored Content and Brand Partnerships

Identification of Paid Content

From time to time, we may publish sponsored content or paid promotional materials. When we do:

  • All sponsored content is clearly labeled as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," or similar designation
  • The sponsoring company or brand is clearly identified
  • Sponsored content is distinguished from our regular editorial content
  • We maintain editorial control over sponsored content quality and accuracy

Sponsored Post Labeling

Our labeling practices ensure transparency:

  • Prominent disclosure at the beginning of sponsored articles or posts
  • Clear visual indicators to distinguish sponsored from organic content
  • Consistent labeling across all platforms and content types
  • Disclosure in a format and location that is difficult to miss

Brand Partnership Disclosures

When we enter into brand partnerships:

  • We evaluate potential partners based on their alignment with our values and audience needs
  • We disclose long-term partnerships that may influence multiple pieces of content
  • We maintain independence in our opinions and recommendations
  • We reserve the right to decline partnerships that don't align with our standards

Content Authenticity Guarantee

Regardless of sponsorship or compensation, all content published by Coin Logic maintains our standards for accuracy, usefulness, and relevance. We do not compromise content quality or mislead our audience for financial gain. Our reputation and the trust of our community are more valuable than any advertising revenue.
