At Bharat Club (https://bharatclubapp.co), we believe in complete transparency with our users. This affiliate disclosure explains our business model, revenue sources, and how our financial relationships may influence the content we provide. We are committed to maintaining your trust by being open about how we operate and how we generate revenue.
What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a performance-based marketing arrangement where businesses reward affiliates (like Bharat Club) for driving traffic, leads, or sales to their platforms through the affiliate’s marketing efforts. When you click on certain links on our website and sign up or make a purchase with the advertised platform, we may receive a commission from that platform.
This is a common and legitimate business model used by many content websites, review platforms, and online publications. It allows us to provide valuable content and services to our users while generating revenue to support our operations.
Our Affiliate Relationships
Platforms We Partner With
Bharat Club has established affiliate partnerships with various online gaming platforms, casinos, sports betting sites, and related service providers. These partnerships allow us to:
- Earn commissions when users sign up through our referral links
- Receive revenue sharing from the gaming activity of referred users
- Get paid for leads generated through our content and recommendations
- Access exclusive bonuses and promotions to share with our audience
Types of Compensation
We may receive compensation in various forms:
Commission per Acquisition (CPA): A one-time payment when a user signs up through our link and meets certain criteria (such as making a first deposit or completing account verification).
Revenue Share: Ongoing commissions based on a percentage of the net gaming revenue generated by users we refer to partner platforms.
Cost per Click (CPC): Payment for driving traffic to partner platforms, regardless of whether users sign up or make deposits.
Hybrid Models: Combination arrangements that may include upfront payments plus ongoing revenue sharing.
Fixed Fee Arrangements: Predetermined amounts paid for featuring specific platforms or content.
How Affiliate Relationships May Influence Content
Editorial Independence
While we maintain editorial independence in creating content, we acknowledge that our affiliate relationships may influence:
Platform Selection: We may prioritize reviewing and featuring platforms with which we have affiliate relationships, as these generate revenue for our operations.
Content Focus: We may create more detailed content about platforms that offer higher commission rates or better partnership terms.
Promotional Emphasis: Platforms with stronger affiliate partnerships may receive more prominent placement or more frequent mentions in our content.
Bonus Highlighting: We may emphasize exclusive bonuses and promotions available through our affiliate links more prominently than standard offers.
Our Commitment to Quality
Despite these potential influences, we maintain strict standards:
Honest Reviews: All reviews reflect our genuine assessment of platforms based on testing, research, and user feedback. We do not provide positive reviews solely because of affiliate relationships.
Balanced Perspective: We strive to present both advantages and disadvantages of platforms, regardless of our compensation level.
User Interest Priority: While affiliate relationships influence business decisions, user interests and safety remain our top priorities in content creation.
Transparency: We clearly identify affiliate links and sponsored content to ensure users understand the nature of our recommendations.
Identification of Affiliate Links
How We Mark Affiliate Content
We use several methods to ensure transparency about affiliate relationships:
Link Identification: Affiliate links may be marked with disclaimers such as “Affiliate Link,” “Sponsored,” or similar language.
Content Disclaimers: Articles and reviews containing affiliate links include clear disclosures about potential compensation.
Visual Indicators: We may use different styling, colors, or icons to distinguish affiliate links from regular links.
Page-Level Disclosures: Pages containing affiliate content include disclosure statements explaining our affiliate relationships.
