Three separate lanes
Guidance first. Money paths disclosed.
Planning does not depend on a purchase or a contact form. Official-game purchases, hosting links, and hosted leads never share consent.
Paid links
Shown only when an exact approved destination is configured, with a plain disclosure beside the link.
How disclosures workOptional host match
A distinct route. Workload questions come first; contact details and unchecked consent come later, if intake is open.
