FTC Disclosure Policy

FTC Disclosure Policy – Crypto Dude
Crypto Dude FTC disclosure policy — US advertising compliance

The United States Federal Trade Commission requires websites that have material connections to products or services they write about to disclose those connections clearly. We have those connections. This page explains exactly what they are.

Even though Crypto Dude operates primarily under UAE law, a significant part of our audience is based in the United States. We follow FTC guidelines regardless — not just because it is expected, but because it is the right thing to do.

01 Our Material Connections

CONNECTION TYPE Affiliate Commissions We earn commissions when visitors click our links and complete actions on third-party platforms. Commission comes from the platform, not from you.
CONNECTION TYPE Sponsored Listings Platforms pay to have their listing featured in our directory. These are clearly labeled as sponsored. Payment does not guarantee a favorable editorial position.
CONNECTION TYPE Sponsored Content Some articles are paid placements about a specific platform. All sponsored articles are labeled "Sponsored Content" clearly at the top of the page.
CONNECTION TYPE Display Advertising We run display ads through ad networks. Advertisers pay to show ads to our visitors. Ad placement decisions are entirely separate from editorial decisions.

02 How We Disclose on Individual Pages

  • Pages with affiliate links include a disclosure notice near the top or before the relevant section
  • Sponsored listings are marked with a "Sponsored" label in the directory
  • Sponsored articles are labeled "Sponsored Content" in the page header before any content begins
  • This FTC Disclosure Policy page is linked from our footer and key content pages

03 What These Connections Do Not Affect

  • Affiliate commissions do not determine which platforms get listed or how they are described
  • Sponsored listing fees do not influence editorial reviews of those platforms
  • We write honest, research-based content about platforms regardless of commercial relationships
  • We have published negative content about platforms that pay us affiliate commissions
  • Platforms without affiliate arrangements are reviewed with the same standards as those that have them

Our editorial team and commercial team operate independently. Advertisers and affiliate partners cannot request changes to, or approval of, editorial content before or after publication.

04 Testimonials and Reviews

All reviews and opinions on Crypto Dude reflect our genuine research and assessment at the time of writing. We do not publish fabricated reviews. We do not guarantee that results described in any platform's marketing materials reflect typical user experience. Individual results vary and past performance does not predict future outcomes — especially in crypto.

05 Native Advertising

When any content on this website is paid for by an advertiser and is designed to appear similar to editorial content, it will be clearly labeled as "Sponsored" or "Paid Content" in a way that is immediately visible before you start reading. We do not blur the line between editorial content and advertising.

06 FTC Guideline Reference

This policy is maintained in compliance with the FTC's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255) and FTC guidance on native advertising and affiliate marketing disclosures. We review and update our disclosure practices when FTC guidelines change.

07 Questions
