Advertising Disclosure

Last updated: November 18, 2025

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Neural Play, we believe in complete transparency regarding our advertising relationships and financial partnerships. This disclosure explains how we may earn revenue through affiliate programs, sponsored content, and advertising networks.

We maintain editorial independence and provide honest recommendations based on our expertise and evaluation. Any financial relationships that may influence our content are clearly disclosed in accordance with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines.

Affiliate Relationships

Affiliate Program Participation

Neural Play participates in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn commissions when you click on certain links and make purchases. These affiliate relationships include:

  • Technology and software tool affiliates relevant to game development
  • Machine learning and AI platform partnerships
  • Educational resource and training program affiliates
  • Game development tool and service providers

Commission-Based Links

When we include affiliate links in our content:

  • We earn a commission if you make a purchase through these links at no extra cost to you
  • Commission rates vary by program but typically range from small percentages to fixed amounts per referral
  • Your purchase price remains the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the vendor

Product Recommendation Policies

Our commitment to honest recommendations:

  • We only recommend products and services we believe provide genuine value to game developers
  • Commission potential does not influence our editorial decisions or product evaluations
  • We base recommendations on technical merit, industry reputation, and alignment with game development needs

Financial Relationship Transparency

We maintain clear separation between editorial content and advertising. Any content influenced by affiliate relationships is clearly identified, and we never compromise our professional standards or expertise for financial gain. Our reputation and your trust are more valuable than any commission.

Sponsored Content

Identification of Paid Content

Occasionally, we may publish sponsored content or paid promotions. All sponsored content is clearly labeled with disclosures such as:

  • "Sponsored by [Company Name]"
  • "Paid Partnership"
  • "Advertisement" or "Advertiser Disclosure"
  • "This post contains sponsored content"

Sponsored Post Labeling Policies

Our approach to sponsored content:

  • Disclosures appear prominently at the beginning of sponsored content
  • We maintain editorial control over all sponsored content
  • Sponsored content must align with our expertise and audience interests
  • We reserve the right to reject sponsored content that doesn't meet our standards

Brand Partnership Disclosures

We may enter into partnerships with technology companies, AI platforms, or game development tool providers. These partnerships may involve financial compensation, free access to products or services, or other benefits. All such relationships are disclosed when relevant to the content we produce.

Content Authenticity Guarantees

Even when content is sponsored, our opinions and recommendations remain genuine and based on our professional assessment. We do not allow sponsors to dictate our editorial stance or misrepresent products and services. Our technical expertise and honest evaluation are never compromised.
