Affiliate Disclosure

Plain English Summary: Some links on FutbolTrivia are “affiliate links” — if you click one and make a purchase or sign up, we earn a small commission from the company, at no extra cost to you. This is how we keep the site free. It never influences what we say about any product or service.

What Is an Affiliate Link?

An affiliate link is a special URL that tells a company’s website that you arrived via FutbolTrivia. If you then purchase a product or service, or sign up for an account, the company pays us a referral fee. This costs you nothing extra — the commission comes from the company’s marketing budget, not from your pocket.

FTC & Regulatory Compliance

In compliance with US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines (16 CFR Part 255), UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) guidance, and EU Directive on unfair commercial practices, we disclose our affiliate relationships prominently on relevant pages. Where you see “affiliate link,” “sponsored,” “ad,” or an asterisk (*) next to a link, this indicates a commercial relationship.

How Affiliates Affect Our Content

Short answer: they don’t. Our editorial policy is that affiliate relationships never determine what we write, how we rate products, or what we recommend.

  • ✅ We do not write positive reviews in exchange for higher commission rates
  • ✅ We do not exclude negative information about an affiliate partner from our content
  • ✅ We are not paid to create content about specific affiliate partners (unless clearly disclosed as sponsored)
  • ✅ Our trivia questions are fact-based and cannot be influenced by commercial relationships
  • ✅ If we recommend a product, it’s because we genuinely believe it is a good choice — affiliate status is secondary

How to Identify Affiliate Links

  • Affiliate links to betting operators will be labelled “Claim Offer,” “Claim →,” or similar, with small print indicating T&Cs apply
  • Affiliate links to streaming services will be labelled “Watch on [Service] →”
  • Amazon affiliate links may appear in product articles — individual links to Amazon are typically affiliate links
  • On pages with significant affiliate content, we include a note: “This article contains affiliate links.”

Sponsored Content

Occasionally we may publish sponsored articles or quizzes — content for which a third party has paid. Any such content will be clearly labelled as “Sponsored” or “Paid Partnership” at the top. Sponsored content does not reflect FutbolTrivia’s editorial opinions.

No Additional Cost to You

Using our affiliate links never increases the price you pay. In many cases, our affiliate links include exclusive welcome offers (such as “Bet £10, Get £30”) that you would not receive by going directly to the operator’s website.

Why We Do This

FutbolTrivia is a free website. Affiliate commissions and display advertising allow us to pay for hosting and infrastructure, employ writers and researchers, produce new content every day, and keep the site free for all users, forever.

We’re grateful to readers who use our affiliate links — it directly supports the site at no cost to you.
