Affiliate Disclosure
FTC-required disclosure of affiliate relationships
SlateLines (operated by Tally LLC)
Last Updated: July 23, 2026
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), an ongoing percentage of your activity (often called revenue share), or a combination of both.
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, 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.
We Promote Only Licensed Operators
We market only sportsbook operators that are licensed and authorized in the jurisdictions where they accept wagers. We do not promote, market, or link to unlicensed or offshore gambling sites.
Federal Trade Commission Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR Part 255: Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.
Trademark and League Non-Affiliation
SlateLines is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or otherwise connected to the National Football League (NFL), National Basketball Association (NBA), Major League Baseball (MLB), National Hockey League (NHL), Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA), Major League Soccer (MLS), Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA), Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), or any of their respective teams, players, broadcasters, or licensees.
References on the Site to team names, league names, player names, athletic events, or related properties are made for editorial purposes only as nominative fair use in news reporting, commentary, and analysis. All trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, and copyrighted material referenced on the Site are the property of their respective owners.
SlateLines does not use the official logos, marks, or proprietary imagery of any professional sports league, team, or licensed athlete without express written authorization. Generic illustrations used to indicate a sport category are not intended to identify or imply affiliation with any particular league or team.
References to sportsbook operators (including but not limited to DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, bet365, BetRivers, Fanatics, ESPN BET, and Hard Rock Bet) are made in the context of our editorial reviews and affiliate marketing relationships. Operator logos and brand assets are used pursuant to each operator’s affiliate program brand guidelines and remain the property of those operators.
