Not legal advice
This page and the site’s affiliate features are for transparency only. They are not a substitute for qualified legal counsel. Laws for advertising, gambling, privacy, and consumer protection differ by country, state, and province.
Before you earn on hotels
- Join an official partner program (e.g. Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com) and use the link formats they authorize.
- Store partner IDs and URLs in environment variables — never commit secrets to git.
- Label paid links clearly (we use “partner site” and
rel="sponsored"where applicable). - Confirm FTC (US), Competition Bureau (Canada), and COFECE / PROFECO-style rules (Mexico) with counsel if you target those markets.
Before you earn on sports betting
- Engage counsel for every jurisdiction where the site is visible or where you buy ads. Sports-betting affiliates are heavily regulated (often by state in the US).
- Apply to licensed operators’ affiliate programs; use only approved creatives and tracking links.
- Replace self-attestation geo gates with counsel-approved methods (e.g. IP-based geo, state allowlists, and age verification) before scaling paid traffic.
- Publish responsible-gambling resources and required disclaimers; never target minors.
- Do not imply an official FIFA or World Cup partnership when promoting betting offers.
Pre-launch checklist (site operators)

- Cookie / consent banner if you load ad networks, analytics, or partner scripts that set non-essential cookies.
