Our Commitment to Transparency

Mirage Portal is free to read. To keep it that way, the site earns money in a few ways, and we want you to know exactly what they are:

• Affiliate linksWe may earn a small commission when you buy through some links, at no extra cost to you.
• Display adsAds served by Ezoic and Google appear on our pages.
• Sponsored contentSome posts may be paid for by a brand. These are always labeled.
• Independent opinionsNone of the above changes what we recommend or how we rate a product.

Affiliate Links

Some links on Mirage Portal are affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, we may earn a commission from the seller. The price you pay stays the same.

Affiliate links are most common in our buying guides and gear roundups, such as the best gaming laptops under $600, best phone coolers for gaming, and top mobile gaming accessories. We only recommend products we believe are worth your money, and we’d recommend them with or without a commission.

Advertising

We use Ezoic to place ads on the site, and many of those ads come from Google. Ad networks choose which ads appear, so an ad on our page is not an endorsement of that product.

These partners use cookies to show and measure ads. Our Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy explain what they collect and how to opt out.

Sponsored Content

Brands sometimes pay us to write about their game, app, or product, or send us a product to review. When that happens, we say so clearly at the top of the post.

Sponsored or not, the review reflects our honest experience. Brands don’t approve our verdicts, and we point out weaknesses as well as strengths.

Editorial Independence

Our game guides, code lists, and smartphone reviews are based on our own gameplay, testing, and research. Commissions, ads, and sponsorships pay for the site. They don’t decide what we write or how we rate something.

FTC Compliance

We follow the US Federal Trade Commission’s Endorsement Guides. That means we disclose any material connection with a brand, such as a payment, a free product, or an affiliate commission, wherever it applies.
