DEALCHECKPOINT POLICY

Advertising Policy

Paid placement and editorial content remain clearly separate. When advertising is active, DealCheckpoint uses a limited, non-adult Adsterra setup.

Transparency

Sponsored content or material commercial support will be labeled prominently on the page. Editorial verdicts (buy, wait, skip, claim) are not sold.

Approved Adsterra formats

DealCheckpoint permits clearly labelled display Banner and Native Banner units, one Social Bar code per page and clearly labelled sponsored Smartlink placements, including up to two wide-screen side rails. Adult ads must remain disabled in the Adsterra publisher account. Popunder remains prohibited. Smartlinks never replace navigation, game-store, price, download, claim or purchase buttons.

Placement standard

One responsive banner may appear after the opening verdict and key facts on substantial, source-checked editorial articles: 728×90 on desktop or 320×50 on mobile. Eligible public pages may also carry one Native Banner section, one Social Bar unit, a clearly labelled sponsored-offer link and two fixed side-rail offers only when the viewport has enough unused space. The side rails render for every visitor because they are static sponsored links; no advertiser request occurs until a click. Advertising is excluded from policy pages, search, price controls, error states and private My Radar tools. Other third-party advertising code remains unloaded where a prior choice is required or after a visitor rejects optional ads.

Ad quality

DealCheckpoint does not select each campaign shown by an ad network. Readers may report a misleading, adult, malicious or otherwise unsuitable creative to contact@dealcheckpoint.com with the page, date, country and a screenshot so the placement can be paused and escalated.

What we will not sell

We will not invent a store price, hide an ended giveaway, or rewrite a source-checked claim solely because an advertiser requests it.
