Partner disclosure

Free guides. Clear relationships.

Our approach to funding free Dota content and clearly marking commercial recommendations.

Current status

The site has no paid placements, active affiliate links, sponsors or payment collection. Links to the game and community resources are editorial sources.

Possible future funding

Potential options include platform monetization on original videos, voluntary support and clearly labeled recommendations for relevant services or equipment. If skin marketplaces are covered, the articles should compare actual fees, regional availability, trade restrictions and risks before adding partner links. No recommendation is approved merely because a program pays commission.

The promise to readers

No paywall for the guides and no banner ad network in this design. A future affiliate link would be marked beside the link, including the fact that we may earn a commission. Sponsored work would be labeled at the top. The simple phrase “no advertising” would not describe a site containing paid recommendations accurately.

What we are not building

The site does not offer betting, case-opening games, skin deposits, account sales or boosting. Readers do not need to purchase anything to use the educational material. Trading-site eligibility and regional restrictions would need to be checked before a particular partner is introduced.

Less fog. More answers.
