Copyright Notice

Last updated: May 2026

All editorial content on SlotMap — original articles, casino reviews, glossary entries, original screenshots from the testing cycle, illustrations, and the design of the Site — is © 2019–2026 SlotMap and its respective authors. All rights are reserved except those expressly granted below.

This notice applies in conjunction with our Terms of Service and the formal procedure on our DMCA Page.

1. What is permitted without prior permission

• Personal reading and offline reference. You may read, save, print, and refer back to articles for personal, non-commercial use.
• Linking. You may link to articles from any context. We encourage links and ask only that the link reasonably represent the article being linked.
• Brief quotation with attribution. You may quote up to approximately 150 words from any single article in a context that constitutes fair use, fair dealing, or the Italian “diritto di citazione” under Article 70 of Legge 633/1941, provided that the quotation is clearly identified as such, the author and SlotMap are credited, and a link to the original article is included where the medium permits.
• Embedding of explicitly shared media. Where we have published an article in a format that includes embed codes, the provided embed codes may be used in line with their stated terms.

2. What requires prior written permission

• Republication, reproduction, or redistribution of articles in whole or in substantial part on any other website, in any other publication (digital or print), in any newsletter, in any commercial product, or in any educational material.
• Translation of any article and republication of the translation, even with attribution.
• Modification or adaptation of articles, including the creation of derivative works.
• Commercial use of any kind, including incorporation of our text or images into commercial products or marketing materials.
• Use of our screenshots and original photography in any context other than as embedded within an unmodified link to the original article. This is particularly important: our review screenshots are taken during real-money testing and have substantial editorial value; their unauthorized reproduction by competitor sites is something we actively monitor and act on.

3. Explicit prohibition on AI training

We expressly do not consent to the use of any content on this Site — text, screenshots, structured data, or any other material — for the training, fine-tuning, evaluation, or grounding of generative artificial intelligence models, large language models, image generation models, or similar systems.

This prohibition is asserted under:

• Italian copyright law (Legge 22 aprile 1941, n. 633), as amended.
• The European Union Directive 2019/790 on Copyright in the Digital Single Market, Article 4, which permits a rightsholder to expressly reserve uses of works for text and data mining. We exercise that reservation.
• The United States Copyright Act, including the doctrine of fair use as applied to copying for the purpose of building competing commercial products.
• Equivalent provisions in other applicable jurisdictions.

The prohibition extends to (a) direct training on our content, (b) fine-tuning on our content, (c) using our content for retrieval-augmented generation by commercial systems, and (d) the use of our content as evaluation or benchmark data for commercial AI systems. Non-commercial academic research may be eligible for exemption under applicable text-and-data-mining provisions; please contact us at info [at] slotmap [punto] space to discuss.

For our own use of AI tools in producing editorial content, see our AI Usage Policy.

4. Screenshots and original photography

Screenshots taken during the testing cycle — sign-up flows, deposit interfaces, game library captures, support conversation logs, KYC document upload pages, withdrawal interfaces — are protected by copyright. They are produced by our reviewers during real-money testing as part of the editorial work. They may not be reproduced, redistributed, or used in any context without prior written permission. The unauthorized reuse of our test-cycle screenshots by competing affiliate sites is a recurring issue that we actively monitor and pursue.

5. User-generated content

Comments, reader submissions, and other user-generated content posted to the Site remain the property of the original author. By submitting content, you grant us the license described in our Terms of Service to display and use the content in connection with the Site.

6. Quotations from third-party works

Where we quote from third-party works (operator T&Cs, regulator notices, ADR rulings, industry publications), we do so under fair use, fair dealing, or the equivalent right of citation in the relevant jurisdiction. The original copyright remains with the third-party author.

7. Trademarks

“SlotMap” is a trade designation of the Site. Names of casino brands, operators, software providers, and products mentioned on the Site remain the property of their respective owners. Their use on the Site is for the purposes of identification, criticism, review, and reporting in line with applicable law (nominative fair use). The use of an operator’s name in our review does not imply endorsement by the operator, nor a commercial relationship with the operator beyond what is disclosed in the review’s affiliate-disclosure block.

8. Requesting a license

If you wish to use our content in a way that exceeds the permissions granted in section 1 above, please contact us at info [at] slotmap [punto] space with the subject line License request. Please include:

• The specific article(s) you wish to use.
• The intended use (publication, translation, course material, etc.).
• The intended audience and distribution.
• The duration of use.
• Any commercial dimension, if applicable.

We respond to license inquiries within 14 business days. Educational and non-commercial requests are usually granted at low or no cost; commercial requests are evaluated case by case. We do not license our content to competing casino-affiliate publications.

9. Reporting infringement

If you discover that someone has reproduced our content without authorization, please let us know at dmca [at] slotmap [punto] space. We pursue substantive infringement, particularly when articles are republished verbatim with attribution removed or when our test-cycle screenshots are reused by competing affiliate sites.

10. Enforcement

Where unauthorized use is discovered, our typical responses, in escalating order, are:

1. Polite contact requesting either takedown or proper attribution and licensing.
2. Formal cease-and-desist correspondence.
3. DMCA notice or equivalent notice-and-takedown to the hosting provider and to any affiliate networks the infringing site relies on.
4. Search engine de-indexation requests.
5. Affiliate-network reporting (a infringing site’s affiliate accounts are valuable; affiliate networks generally take infringement complaints seriously).
6. Legal action where the infringement is substantial and the infringer is reachable.

11. Trade-mark notice for operators

If you are a representative of an operator we have reviewed and you believe our use of your operator’s name, logo, or marks exceeds nominative fair use, please contact us at info [at] slotmap [punto] space. We engage on the substance and adjust where the substance warrants. We do not respond to opportunistic trade-mark complaints used to suppress critical review coverage.
