Terms of use
These terms apply to your use of The Slot Side. The site is run by The Slot Side ("we"). No company name or postal address has been published yet, and you can reach us at editors@theslotside.com or through the contact page.
By using the site you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.
What this site is
The Slot Side publishes reviews, comparisons and guides about online casinos, sportsbooks, bonuses and slots. It is for information only. We are not a gambling operator. We take no bets or deposits and we hold no player funds. Any agreement you make with an operator is between you and that operator.
Age and the law
You must be 18 or over, or the legal gambling age where you live if that is higher. Online gambling is restricted or illegal in some countries, and you are responsible for checking your local law before you play.
We do not support evading geo-blocks or hiding your location. Operators may void winnings and close accounts when a player hides their real location.
Accuracy and advice
Our facts come from sources such as operators' own sites and terms, regulators and public catalogues, and each fact is dated. Things change, and the operator's current terms always prevail over what we publish.
Scores are editorial assessments made with a published formula, described on the methodology page. Nothing on the site is financial, legal or tax advice.
If you find a mistake, tell us through the contact page and we will correct it.
Affiliate links and commissions
The site may earn commissions when readers use links to operators. Commissions never change scores or rankings. The affiliate disclosure explains this in full.
Third-party sites
We link to operators and other sites. We are not responsible for their content, offers, terms or conduct. Any dispute with an operator is between you and the operator.
Intellectual property
Our texts, scores, the way our data is compiled, and the design of the site belong to The Slot Side. Operators' names and logos and game providers' images belong to their owners. We use them to identify and review their products, with credit to the source.
Permitted use
The site is for personal, non-commercial reading. You may quote short excerpts if you link back to the source page. You may not:
- scrape the site or copy it in bulk
- republish whole pages
- use our data to build a competing database
Acceptable use
Do not attack the site, overload it, introduce malicious code, or impersonate us or anyone else. We may block access that looks abusive.
Responsible gambling
Gambling is entertainment with a cost, not a way to earn money. Play only with money you can afford to lose. See responsible gambling for tools and sources of help.
Liability
To the extent the law allows, the site is provided "as is". We are not liable for losses from gambling or from relying on the information on the site. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law, and your mandatory consumer rights are not affected.
Changes to these terms
We may change these terms. The "updated" date on the page shows the latest revision, and continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the new version. For how we handle data, see the privacy notice.
Contact
Questions about these terms can be sent to editors@theslotside.com or through the contact page.
Frequently asked questions
Can I bet on The Slot Side?
No. We are not a gambling operator. We take no bets or deposits and hold no player funds. We only review operators and link to them.
Can I copy your reviews or data?
You may quote short excerpts with a link back. Scraping, bulk copying, republishing whole pages and building a competing database from our data are not allowed.
Is it fine to hide my location to reach an operator?
We do not support it. Operators may void winnings of players who evade geo-blocks, and online gambling may be illegal where you are.
Do commissions affect your scores?
No. Affiliate commissions never change scores or rankings. See the affiliate disclosure for details.
Which is right if an operator's terms differ from your page?
The operator's current terms. Our facts are dated and can go out of date, so check the operator before you act.
