Our commitment to transparency

iGaming Tools (i-gaming.tools) is an independent data resource about online slots: a catalogue, playable demos, asset kits, structured JSON, and a public API. The site is primarily free to use.

To help cover the cost of building and maintaining that data, some of our outbound links to gambling operators are affiliate links. We believe you have a right to know this clearly, in plain language. This page is our disclosure of how those links work and, just as importantly, what they do not affect.

An affiliate link is a tracked link to a third-party gambling operator. When you click one and then register an account or play through it, the operator can tell that you arrived from our site.

We use affiliate links for some — but not all — of the operators we link to. They are a standard part of how online publishers fund their work, and we use them so that the data on this site can stay free for everyone.

How this supports the site

If you sign up or play through one of our affiliate links, we may receive a commission from the operator. This happens at no extra cost to you — you pay nothing more than you would by going to the operator directly, and your terms, odds, and bonuses are unaffected.

These commissions are what allow us to:

  • Keep the catalogue, demos, asset kits, JSON, and public API free to use.
  • Continue capturing and maintaining slot data through our own pipeline.
  • Operate the site without putting our core data behind a paywall.

We earn a commission only when someone chooses to act on a link. We are never paid simply for documenting a slot or publishing a fact about it.

Our editorial independence

This is the most important part of this page.

Affiliate relationships do not influence our data or what we publish. There is a firm wall between the commercial links on this site and the facts we document. Specifically:

  • Our data is not for sale. No operator or provider can pay to be included in the catalogue, to be ranked or sorted differently, or to have a data field changed.
  • The facts are the facts. RTP, volatility, mechanics, paylines, features, and similar attributes are recorded as we measure them. A documented RTP is a fact, not a paid placement.
  • Inclusion is editorial, not commercial. Which slots we document is our decision, based on our process — not on whether a commercial deal exists.
  • Rankings and sort order are independent. How results are ordered is driven by data and our own criteria, never by who pays us.

Our slot data is captured from provider demos through our own pipeline, independently of any commercial arrangement. You can read exactly how we collect and verify it in our methodology. If a commercial relationship ever conflicted with the accuracy of our data, the data comes first.

18+ and responsible gambling

The operators we link to offer real-money gambling. This content is intended for adults only — 18+, or 21+ in some jurisdictions. Gambling carries real financial risk, and there is no strategy that guarantees a win.

Please only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and treat it as entertainment rather than a way to make money. If gambling is affecting you or someone you know, see our Responsible Gambling page, and find free, confidential support and tools at BeGambleAware.

Our use of affiliate links is also addressed in our Terms. Together with this page and our methodology, they describe how we operate and how we keep our data independent.
