Things we routinely decline, in case they save you an email.
We do not remove accurate material on request. If an Alterplay article documents a regulatory enforcement action, a fine, a Companies House filing or a verified player report against a brand, the material stays online. Operators frequently request removal — whether the operator is a commercial partner of ours has no bearing on the answer.
We do not accept paid placements or sponsored content. No article on Alterplay has ever been written, edited or amended in exchange for payment, and we will not start now. Any approach offering payment for inclusion, removal, or favourable wording will be declined; persistent approaches will be documented in the article on the brand involved.
We do not do link exchanges, guest-post swaps, "expert quote" insertions, or any other tactic typical of outreach SEO. If you are an SEO agency emailing on behalf of a casino brand asking for a backlink, the answer is no, and a follow-up email will not change it.
We do not respond to AI-drafted outreach. If your email opens with "I came across your wonderful website and was particularly impressed by your article on…" and proceeds to misname us, our content, or our team, it will be marked as spam without reply.
We do not provide gambling advice or crisis support. We are a research publication, not a help service. If you are experiencing harm from gambling, please contact one of the dedicated services listed at the foot of this page.
