Affiliate Disclosure

Transparency about how we earn money and maintain editorial independence

How We Make Money

GamerScout is a free service that helps gamers find the best deals on games across multiple stores. We earn money through affiliate commissions when you click on links to game stores and make a purchase. This means we receive a small percentage of your purchase at no extra cost to you.

Our Affiliate Partners

Here is every store we compare prices across, and whether we earn a commission from it. Where we do not, we say so — a store is never listed because it pays us, and never hidden because it does not.

9 of the 10 stores we list pay us a commission. This list is generated from the same database that powers the price comparison, so it changes when the roster changes — it is not a list we retype by hand.

Editorial Independence

Our affiliate relationships do not influence which stores appear first in our price comparisons. We always show the lowest price first, regardless of commission rates. Our goal is to help you find the best deal, not to maximize our earnings.

How Affiliate Links Work

When you click on a price or "Buy Now" button on our site:

  1. You are redirected to the retailer's website
  2. A small tracking code identifies that you came from GamerScout
  3. If you make a purchase, we receive a commission (typically 1-10% depending on the store)
  4. You pay the same price as if you went directly to the store

No Extra Cost to You

Using our affiliate links never costs you extra money. The commission comes from the retailer's marketing budget, not from your pocket. In fact, we often help you save money by finding the lowest prices across multiple stores.

Why We Use Affiliate Links

Affiliate commissions allow us to:

  • Keep GamerScout completely free for users
  • Maintain and improve our price comparison technology
  • Add new features and stores
  • Pay for hosting, development, and operational costs
