Advertising disclosure
Our funding comes via advertising relationships with several legal online gaming operators. In some cases, when you visit a site —  including online sportsbooks, casino sites, poker sites and daily fantasy sports sites — we may receive financial compensation from the casino or poker site. We may also sell advertising to various partners.
Our policy regarding advertisers is simple:
- Advertisers do not have a say over the content on Play-indiana.org.
- Our goal is to provide credible, objective information about legal online gaming options in Indiana, specifically and more generally throughout the US. We believe that this goal naturally produces the best information for both customers and operators, and therefore for us as a business.
- We mark all paid advertisements or advertisements that appear in a format (such as banner ads) that are widely understood to be advertisements.
