Advertising Disclosure

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Arena Tech, we believe in maintaining honest and open relationships with our audience. This Advertising Disclosure policy is designed to help you understand the various ways we may receive compensation and how that compensation might influence the content we publish.

We follow the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines for endorsements and testimonials, and we are committed to disclosing any material connections between Arena Tech and the products, services, or companies we mention on our website.

Our primary goal is to provide valuable, accurate information about competitive gaming infrastructure solutions. While we may receive compensation through various channels described below, this does not compromise our commitment to providing honest assessments and recommendations.

Affiliate Relationships

What Are Affiliate Programs?

Affiliate programs allow us to earn commissions when visitors click on certain links and purchase products or services. Arena Tech may participate in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may receive financial compensation when you click on affiliate links and make purchases.

How We Use Affiliate Links

When we recommend products, services, or technology solutions that we believe are beneficial for competitive gaming venues, some of these recommendations may include affiliate links. These links allow us to track purchases and earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

We may include affiliate links for:

Gaming hardware and equipment
Streaming technology and software
Analytics and data management tools
Infrastructure and networking solutions
Professional services related to esports venue operations

Our Recommendation Standards

Whether or not we receive affiliate compensation, we maintain strict standards for our recommendations:

We only recommend products and services we genuinely believe are valuable
Our opinions are not influenced by the amount of commission we might receive
We test and evaluate products when possible before recommending them
We consider factors like quality, reliability, and value for money
We disclose when content includes affiliate relationships

Important Note

Your purchase price remains the same whether you use an affiliate link or go directly to the vendor's website. The commission we receive comes from the vendor, not from you as the customer.

Make disclosures clear, conspicuous, and unavoidable
Place disclosures where they are likely to be noticed and understood
Avoid misleading or deceptive advertising practices

We take these responsibilities seriously and strive to maintain full transparency in all our advertising relationships.

Advertisers do not influence our editorial content or opinions
We do not guarantee positive coverage in exchange for advertising spend
Our recommendations are based on merit, not on compensation
We clearly separate advertising content from editorial content
We maintain honest and unbiased reporting standards

Our credibility depends on providing accurate, reliable information to our audience. We never compromise our integrity for financial gain.
