At GameDuelist, our goal is to help gamers sharpen their skills, whether you’re entering your first competitive match or aiming to level up in your favorite games. To continue offering valuable gaming tips, strategies, and guides, we believe in being open about how we sustain our platform. Here’s a breakdown of how we are funded:
Affiliate Partnerships
A significant portion of our funding comes from affiliate partnerships. When we recommend gaming gear, peripherals, or services in our articles, we may include affiliate links to trusted retailers. If you click on these links and make a purchase, we earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. These commissions help us cover the costs of running GameDuelist and creating top-quality content. Rest assured, we only endorse products that we believe will genuinely benefit our community of gamers.
Sponsored Content
Occasionally, we collaborate with gaming-related companies to produce sponsored content. This might include product reviews, tutorials, or promotional posts about specific brands. We are selective about these partnerships, ensuring that any sponsored content aligns with our values and delivers real value to our audience. Sponsored content will always be clearly labeled, and we maintain complete independence in our opinions and reviews.
Advertisements
To keep GameDuelist free and accessible to all, we display advertisements on some pages. These ads help support the operational costs of maintaining the website, producing content, and enhancing the user experience. We aim to display relevant ads tailored to gaming, so they won’t interfere with your experience on our site.
Community Donations and Support
We also appreciate direct support from our loyal community of gamers. We offer options for readers who find our content helpful to make donations through platforms like Buy Me a Coffee or Patreon. This support helps us stay independent and focus on delivering the content you love. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us continue providing the best gaming guides, tips, and news.
Our Commitment to Independence
At GameDuelist, maintaining the trust of our readers is our top priority. While we partner with brands and feature ads, we retain full editorial control over the content we produce. Our guides, reviews, and recommendations are driven by our passion for gaming and our commitment to help you succeed, not by external influence from advertisers.
By being transparent about our funding, we hope to build trust and ensure you feel confident in the content we provide. If you have any questions about our funding model, feel free to reach out.
Thank you for being part of the GameDuelist community!
