Affiliate Disclosure

The Inside Line is a participant in various affiliate programs. This page explains how these partnerships work and our commitment to honest, unbiased reviews.

How We Earn Money

Some of the links on this website are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you click on the link and make a purchase. This comes at no additional cost to you. These commissions help us maintain the site and continue producing high-quality content.

Our Affiliate Partners

We participate in affiliate programs with various sim racing retailers and manufacturers, including but not limited to:

  • Direct manufacturer affiliate programs
  • Specialized sim racing retailers
  • General electronics retailers

Editorial Independence

Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content. We are committed to providing honest, unbiased reviews and recommendations. Our reviews are based on thorough testing and evaluation, regardless of whether a product has an affiliate link.

Key principles we follow:

  • Honesty First: We will never recommend a product solely because it has a higher commission rate.
  • Transparency: We clearly disclose when content contains affiliate links.
  • Independence: Our reviews and ratings are not influenced by affiliate partnerships.
  • Quality: We only recommend products we believe offer genuine value to our readers.

How Affiliate Links Work

When you click on an affiliate link on our site and make a purchase, the retailer tracks that you came from our site. If you complete a purchase (usually within a set time period, typically 24-30 days), we receive a small commission from the sale.

This process is completely transparent to you as a buyer. You pay the same price whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the retailer.

Non-Affiliate Content

Not all products we review or mention have affiliate links. We cover products across the sim racing spectrum, including those from companies we don't have affiliate relationships with. Our goal is to provide comprehensive coverage of the sim racing hardware market, not just products that earn us commissions.

Questions?

If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships or how we choose which products to review, please don't hesitate to contact us.
