Advertising terms
These terms apply to every banner booked on Stake News Today. “We” is Stake News Today. “You” is the person or company booking the banner. Sending the booking form with the box ticked means you accept them.
1. Packages
| Package | Price | Run | Position | Banner changes | Click report |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $50 | 2 days | Shown in turn | None | At the end |
| Standard | $1,000 | 12 days | Shown in turn | Up to 2 | Halfway and at the end |
| Premier | $5,000 | 45 days | Ahead of the other packages | Once a week | Every week |
- Prices are in US dollars and are for one banner on the home page of this site.
- The home page has one banner position. When more than one banner is running, each visit shows one of them. Premier banners are shown ahead of Starter and Standard banners.
- A day is 24 hours. The run starts when the banner goes live, not when you book.
2. Booking and approval
- The booking form is a request, not a contract. A booking exists once we have approved your banner and link by email and your payment has been confirmed.
- We check every banner and the page it links to before it runs. We may ask for changes, or refuse a banner, without giving a reason.
- We usually reply within two working days. Start dates are subject to the position being free.
3. Payment
- Payment is in cryptocurrency, in full, before the banner goes live. We send the wallet address, the network and the exact amount by email after approval.
- The amount is the dollar price at the rate on the day we send it. It is valid for 48 hours. After that we may send a new amount.
- You pay the network fees. The amount that arrives must match the amount we asked for.
- Send only on the network named in our email. Coins sent to the wrong address or on the wrong network cannot be recovered, and we are not responsible for them.
- We send payment details only by email, in the same conversation as your booking. If anyone asks you to pay in our name through a chat app or social media, do not pay, and tell us.
4. Your banner
- Size 970 x 250 pixels, in JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF, 300 KB or less. No sound, no flashing, no fake buttons, system warnings or countdown tricks.
- One link per banner. Links are marked as sponsored and open in a new tab. We do not allow links that redirect to a different site from the one we approved.
- Every banner is shown with the label “Advertisement”.
- If your banner arrives late, the run starts when it goes live. If it arrives more than 14 days after payment, we may treat the booking as used.
- You own or have permission to use everything in your banner, including logos, photos and names.
5. What we accept
- Gambling operators must hold a licence that covers the places their banner is aimed at, and must give us the licence number and regulator when asked.
- No gambling offers aimed at US states where the operator is not licensed, and nothing aimed at anyone under 21.
- Gambling banners must show an age limit and a responsible-gambling line.
- No “guaranteed win”, “risk free” or “get rich” claims, and no promised returns on any coin, token or investment.
- No malware, phishing, fake giveaways, unregistered securities, adult content, or anything unlawful where it is shown.
- Crypto projects must be live or have a public team and documents we can check.
6. Refunds and changes
- If we refuse your banner before it goes live, you owe nothing. Anything you have already paid is returned to the wallet it came from, less network fees.
- You may cancel before the banner goes live and receive the same refund.
- Once a banner is live, the fee is not refunded, including if you ask us to take it down early.
- If the site is unavailable for more than 24 hours in a row during your run, we add the lost time to the end of your run. That is the only remedy for downtime.
- We may take a banner down at once if it or the page it links to breaks these terms or the law, if a licence lapses, or if the linked page changes to something we did not approve. No refund is due in that case.
7. What we promise, and what we do not
- We promise the position and the number of days in your package.
- We do not promise any number of views, clicks, sign-ups, deposits or sales.
- Click counts are taken from our own records and are given for information.
- Advertising buys a banner. It does not buy news coverage, and it gives you no say over what we report, including about you.
8. Responsibility
- You are responsible for your banner, your offer and the page it links to, and for making sure they are lawful wherever the banner is seen.
- If a regulator, court or third party makes a claim against us because of your banner or offer, you will cover our reasonable costs.
- Our total liability for any booking is limited to the amount you paid for it. We are not liable for lost profit or other indirect loss.
9. General
- We use the details in your booking only to handle it, as described in our privacy policy.
- We may update these terms. The version on this page on the day your payment is confirmed applies to your booking.
- Questions about a booking go to the desk through the contact page.
