How we make money

Subscriptions come first. Partner links are additive and labeled.

Galaxy Sports Edge runs on subscriptions. Some pages may also carry links to licensed sportsbook operators that pay a commission when they lead to a signup. This page explains both, plainly, and how the two are kept apart.

Where the money comes from

Two sources. One of them is primary.

Subscriptions: the primary business

Galaxy Sports Edge is a subscription product first. Pro and Elite unlock the full board, confidence scores, and the deeper tools; Free stays a real product with a public Edge Index and the same published track record. Subscription revenue is what the business is built to run on.

Partner links: additive, licensed, and labeled

Some pages may also carry links to licensed sportsbook operators. If you click one and it leads to signing up, the operator may pay a commission. Nothing about a partner relationship changes what you see on the board: the pick model runs the same regardless of who is or isn't a partner.

We don't currently have any live partner links. The operator registry that has to approve one before it can appear publicly has zero approved partners today. This page describes the policy those links will follow whenever that changes, so the policy exists before the first link does.

Structural separation

Commissions never influence picks.

A disclosed conflict of interest is still a conflict of interest. The honest answer isn't a claim that the conflict doesn't exist; it's keeping it from ever touching the part of the system that decides what a pick is.

Different code, different people, different pipeline

The code that scores and ranks picks lives in a separate part of the codebase from the code that manages partner links and commission accounting. Neither reads from the other.

Machine-checked, not just promised

An automated check runs on every single code change and fails the build if the pick-scoring engine or the data-ingestion pipeline ever imports anything from the partner-economics code, or the other way around. A promise can be forgotten; a failing build cannot be shipped.

No pay-for-placement

An operator cannot buy a better grade, a higher rank, or a spot on the board. The scoring model reads market data, not partner contracts.

Disclosure

Every partner link is labeled.

Adjacent, not buried

Every partner link carries its own disclosure label immediately next to it, not just a note in the footer or on a separate terms page. If you can see the link, you can see the label.

Plain language

The label reads “Paid partner link” and points back to this page. Regulators have flagged the bare words “affiliate link” as easy to skim past; we don't rely on that phrasing alone.

State and age gating

Any page carrying a partner link also carries 21+, responsible-gambling, and state-eligibility information, the same as the rest of the site.

The record doesn't move for this

Track record, published either way.

The calibration report, closing-line value, and loss autopsies publish on the same gate and the same schedule whether or not any partner relationship exists. Nothing about a commission changes how those numbers are computed or when they're allowed to appear.
