Affiliate Disclosure
Transparency Matters
SlateLines (operated by Tally LLC) maintains affiliate marketing relationships with licensed sportsbook operators. We want you to understand exactly what that means for you when you use our Site.
How We Earn Money
When you click a link on our Site and proceed to a sportsbook partner’s website, our affiliate tracking
identifies that you came from SlateLines . If you then open an account, deposit funds, or place wagers
with that sportsbook,we may earn a commission. This commission may be a one-time payment when you become a depositing customer (often called CPA, or cost per acquisition).
We may also earn revenue from display advertisements on the Site, which are placed by advertising
networks based on the audience and content of our pages.
What This Does Not Mean
Earning a commission does not increase the cost to you. You pay the same odds, bonuses, and terms
whether you reach the sportsbook through our links or directly. Operators bear the cost of commissions
to us, not you
It also does not mean our recommendations are for sale. We review sportsbooks based on factors that
matter to bettors: licensing and legitimacy, odds and pricing, bonus offers, deposit and withdrawal
speed, customer service, app and website experience, and breadth of betting markets. We do not
change our reviews based on commission rates.
Some sportsbooks we recommend may pay us higher commissions than others. We disclose these
arrangements in good faith. If you ever feel a review or pick seems inconsistent with our stated
standards, contact us at legal@slatelines.com.
Editorial Independence
Our analysis, picks, predictions, and reviews reflect our genuine opinions based on research and
expertise. We do not accept payment for positive coverage or guaranteed placement. Editorial content
is produced independently of our affiliate operations and advertising relationships.
Identifying Affiliate Links
Affiliate links throughout the Site may be marked with notations such as “sponsored,” “ad,” or “affiliate.”
Even where not explicitly marked, you should assume that any link from our Site to a sportsbook
operator is an affiliate link.
