Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: January 2026

How We Earn Money

Marigold Cottages Shimla (marigoldcottagesshimla.in) is an independent review and information website covering the 1xBet Aviator game and related online casino topics. To keep our content free for readers, we participate in affiliate programmes operated by online gambling operators. This means that when you click certain links on this website and subsequently register an account, make a deposit, or play at a partner casino, we may receive an affiliate commission from that operator.

This commission comes at no additional cost to you. The operator pays us from its own marketing budget — your deposits, odds, bonuses, and winnings are not affected in any way by using our links.

Editorial Independence

Our commercial relationships do not influence our editorial content. Specifically:

• Casino rankings, ratings, and review scores are based on our own assessment criteria — including game fairness, payout speed, customer support, licensing, and user experience — not on the size of the commission offered.
• We do not accept payment in exchange for positive reviews, and operators cannot pay to remove or alter negative feedback.
• Where a listed operator has known shortcomings (withdrawal complaints, restrictive bonus terms, licensing concerns), we disclose these openly, even when it reduces our potential earnings.
• Sponsored placements, where used, are clearly labelled and kept separate from editorial rankings.

How to Identify Affiliate Links

We believe you should always know when a link may earn us money. On this website:

• Links to casinos and gambling operators within reviews, comparison tables, "Visit" / "Play Now" buttons, and banner placements are typically affiliate links.
• Pages containing affiliate links display a disclosure notice at or near the top of the page.
• Any content that has been paid for or sponsored by an operator is marked with a clear label such as "Sponsored", "Advertisement", or "Paid Promotion".
• Where technically supported, affiliate links may carry attributes such as rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow".

Regulatory Compliance (India)

India does not currently have a single unified regulator for affiliate marketing of the kind represented by the FTC in the United States or the ASA/CAP in the United Kingdom. Nevertheless, we voluntarily align our practices with applicable Indian frameworks and recognised international standards, including:

• The Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) Code and its Guidelines for Influencer Advertising in Digital Media, which require clear and prominent disclosure of material connections between advertisers and publishers;
• The Consumer Protection Act, 2019, and the associated Guidelines for Prevention of Misleading Advertisements, which prohibit advertisements that deceive consumers about the commercial nature of content;
• International best-practice disclosure principles consistent with FTC and ASA guidance on affiliate transparency.

Please note: online gambling laws in India vary significantly by state, and some states restrict or prohibit real-money online gaming. The operators featured on this website may be licensed offshore and are not regulated by an Indian gambling authority. It is your responsibility to verify whether accessing and using such services is lawful in your state of residence before registering or depositing.

Your Responsibility as a Reader

• Verify legality: Confirm that online casino gaming is permitted under the laws of your state before using any operator linked from this site.
• Do your own research: Our reviews reflect our opinions and testing at the time of publication. Terms, bonuses, and licences change — always read the operator's current terms and conditions.
• Gamble responsibly: Only wager money you can afford to lose. Gambling is not a source of income. If you feel your gambling is becoming a problem, seek help from a recognised support organisation.
• Age requirement: You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher) to use any linked gambling service.
• No financial advice: Nothing on this website constitutes financial, legal, or professional advice.
