Advertising Policy

Why This Policy Exists

ALAMPLAY is free to read and always will be. Producing tested, security-reviewed mod menu and MOD APK guides — with real devices, real testing hours and a real editorial team — costs money, and advertising is how we fund that work without charging readers or hiding content behind paywalls and surveys. This policy explains what kinds of advertising appear on alamplay.com, the rules those ads must follow, and the strict wall we maintain between advertising and editorial content.

How Advertising Appears on ALAMPLAY

Advertising on alamplay.com is served primarily through established third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense. These networks select and deliver ads automatically based on factors such as page content and, where consent has been given, user interests. Key facts about how this works:

• Ad placements are visually distinct from editorial content and labelled in accordance with network policies.
• We do not disguise ads as editorial content, navigation elements or download buttons — a deceptive pattern common in this niche that we reject completely.
• Third-party networks may use cookies and similar technologies to personalise ads. Details — and your choices — are described in our Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy.
• We aim to keep the reading experience clean: no aggressive pop-ups, no forced redirects, no auto-playing audio.

The Wall Between Ads and Editorial

This is the heart of our policy, and it is absolute:

• Advertisers never influence editorial content. No ranking, verdict, safety assessment, review score or recommendation on alamplay.com can be bought, at any price.
• Editorial staff do not sell ads. Advertising operations are handled separately from the editorial team described in our Editorial Policy.
• We do not publish undisclosed paid content. If sponsored content ever appears on ALAMPLAY, it will be clearly and prominently labelled as such — no exceptions.
• We do not sell links. Requests to buy backlinks, “guest posts” with hidden commercial links, or editorial mentions are declined as a matter of policy.

Ad Standards — What We Do Not Accept

While third-party networks control much of the ad inventory automatically, we actively configure blocking and review tools to exclude categories that conflict with our values or our audience’s safety. We do not knowingly permit ads that:

• Distribute malware, fake “system warnings”, or deceptive download buttons;
• Promote scams, phishing, “human verification” survey schemes or fake gift-card generators;
• Contain adult content or target children inappropriately;
• Impersonate ALAMPLAY, game developers or official app stores.

If you ever encounter an ad on alamplay.com that violates these standards, please report it to [email protected] with a screenshot and the page URL — we investigate every report and escalate violations to the relevant ad network.

Your Choices as a Reader

• Personalised advertising: You can adjust how Google personalises the ads you see at Google Ads Settings, and learn how Google uses data from partner sites at policies.google.com.
• Cookies: You can manage or delete advertising cookies through your browser settings, as explained in our Cookie Policy.
• Consent: Where required by law (including in the EEA and UK), you will be asked for consent before personalised advertising cookies are used, and you may withdraw that consent at any time.

Affiliate Links & Sponsorships

As of the last update of this policy, ALAMPLAY does not participate in affiliate programmes. If that changes, affiliate links will be disclosed clearly on every page where they appear, and they will never alter our editorial verdicts — a product does not review better because it pays a commission. Direct sponsorships, if ever accepted, will follow the same disclosure rules and will be visible as sponsorships at a glance.

Questions and Advertiser Enquiries

Businesses interested in advertising on alamplay.com can write to [email protected] with the subject line “Advertising”. Please read this policy first: enquiries that ask for editorial influence, undisclosed placements or paid links will be declined. Readers with questions about any ad they have seen on the site are equally welcome to get in touch — transparency about how the site is funded is part of how we earn your trust.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see ads about topics I browsed elsewhere?

That is personalised advertising, delivered by ad networks based on your browsing interests — not by ALAMPLAY reading your history. You can switch to less personalised ads at any time using the links in the “Your Choices” section above.

Does clicking ads support the site?

Advertising revenue is what keeps ALAMPLAY free, but please only interact with ads that genuinely interest you. Artificial clicking violates ad-network policies and we never encourage it.

I saw a misleading “download button” ad. Is that yours?

No — and we want to know about it immediately. Deceptive download-button ads violate both our standards and Google’s policies. Send a screenshot and the page URL to [email protected] and we will block the campaign and report it to the network.

Will ALAMPLAY ever use paywalls instead of ads?

No paywalls are planned. Free access to tested, safety-first information is the point of the project; clearly labelled advertising is the funding model that makes that possible.
