Affiliate Disclosure

What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are special URLs that contain a tracking code unique to GamersFace. When you click one of these links and make a purchase from the retailer, we earn a small commission — typically between 1% and 10% of the purchase price, depending on the product category and the affiliate program.

Important: You never pay more when using our affiliate links. The price you see is the exact same price you would pay if you navigated to the retailer directly. The commission comes from the retailer’s marketing budget, not from your pocket.

FTC Compliance Statement

The FTC requires that we disclose any material connection between GamersFace and the companies or products featured on our website. We take this requirement seriously and go beyond the minimum requirements to ensure you always know when a financial relationship exists.

How GamersFace Makes Money

GamersFace is an independently owned publication. We generate revenue through the following channels to fund our operations, purchase review products, and pay our team of expert reviewers:

1. Affiliate Commissions

When we review or recommend a product, we include links to retailers where you can purchase the product. If you buy through these links, we earn a small commission. This is our primary revenue source and allows us to sustain our editorial operations.

2. Display Advertising

We display non-intrusive advertisements on our website. These ads are served by third-party ad networks and are clearly distinguishable from our editorial content. Advertisers have zero influence over our reviews or editorial decisions.

3. Sponsored Content

Occasionally, we publish sponsored articles or content in partnership with brands. All sponsored content is clearly and prominently labeled as “Sponsored” or “Paid Partnership.” Sponsored content is produced by our editorial team and is held to the same quality standards as our regular content, but the topic or product focus may be suggested by the sponsor.

What we never do:

• Accept payment in exchange for a specific review score
• Allow advertisers or sponsors to edit or approve our review content
• Accept free products from manufacturers for review purposes
• Alter our rankings based on affiliate commission rates
• Hide or obscure affiliate relationships from our readers

Affiliate Programs We Participate In

In addition to the Amazon Associates Program, GamersFace participates in the following affiliate programs:

Editorial Independence & Integrity

To ensure absolute editorial independence, we maintain the following policies:

• Separation of editorial and business: Our review team has no access to affiliate commission data. They do not know which products generate the most revenue and cannot be influenced by financial incentives.
• Self-purchased products: We buy every product we review at full retail price using our own funds. We do not accept free review units, loaners, or pre-release samples from manufacturers.
• Standardized scoring: Our review scores are generated from a standardized testing methodology that weighs 40+ measurable metrics. Scores are objective, reproducible, and publicly explained.
• Negative reviews are published: If a product scores poorly, we publish the review regardless of any affiliate relationship with the retailer selling that product.
• Score updates: We update review scores when firmware updates, price changes, or new information affects our assessment — regardless of the direction of the change.

How Affiliate Links Work on Our Site

When you encounter a product link on GamersFace, here is what happens:

1. You click a product link — This may be a “Check Price,” “Buy Now,” or retailer-name link on a review page, best-of list, or comparison.
2. You are redirected to the retailer — Our affiliate tracking code is included in the URL. This tells the retailer that GamersFace referred you.
3. You browse and (optionally) purchase — If you make a purchase within the retailer’s cookie window (typically 24 hours for Amazon), we earn a commission.
4. The commission is paid to us — The retailer pays GamersFace directly. This cost is absorbed by the retailer’s marketing budget and does not increase the price you pay.

Product Recommendations & Rankings

Our product recommendations and “Best Of” rankings are determined solely by our testing methodology and editorial judgment. Specifically:

• Products are ranked by their review score, which is calculated from lab benchmarks, real-world gaming tests, build quality assessments, and value-for-money analysis.
• We do not prioritize products with higher affiliate commission rates.
• We include products in our rankings even if they are not available through any of our affiliate partners.
• If a product we recommend becomes unavailable, we update the listing rather than replacing it with a lower-ranked alternative that happens to be available through an affiliate link.

Price & Availability Disclaimer

Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date and time indicated on our pages and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on Amazon.com or other linked retail websites at the time of purchase will apply to the purchase of the product.

GamersFace cannot guarantee that prices shown on our site will match the prices at the point of sale, as retailers may change prices at any time without notice to us.
