The arrangement in three sentences
Some links on this site are affiliate links: when a reader follows one and registers an account with the game publisher, an advertising network pays L&P Company s.r.o. a commission.
The commission is paid by that network out of the advertiser’s budget, not by the reader — it adds nothing to any price the game publisher sets and changes nothing about what you are offered.
It does not decide how the product is described, because the payment is the same whatever this site says about it; what it does decide is which product is covered here at all, and that is stated openly on every page where it matters.
Who the parties are
There are three, and it helps to keep them separate.
- The publisher of this site is L&P Company s.r.o., Rýmařovská 433, Letňany, 199 00 Praha 9, Czech Republic. Company number 21180822, VAT CZ21180822, info@crestspace.online. This company writes the site and receives the commission.
- The advertising network operates the link and pays the commission. The affiliate links on this site resolve through price-low.eu, which is the network’s tracking address, and from there to the game publisher’s own registration page.
- The game publisher is Gaijin Entertainment, which publishes War Thunder. It has no relationship with Crest Space, has not reviewed this site, and does not endorse it. Crest Space is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by it.
What the commission is actually paid for
The commission is a fixed amount per qualified registration. It becomes payable when a reader who arrived through one of the marked links creates an account with the game publisher, confirms their email address, installs the game and starts the tutorial — the sequence described in step three and step four. Registrations are reviewed by the network at the beginning of the following month before any commission is confirmed.
Two points follow from that structure and are worth stating plainly.
First, the payment is triggered by a registration, not by a purchase. Nothing you spend with the game publisher afterwards changes what this site receives, so there is no incentive here to encourage spending — which is why step six is a caution about in-game purchasing rather than an encouragement toward it.
Second, the amount is fixed and is not affected by how the product is described. A flattering description and a sceptical one pay identically. That removes the usual reason an affiliate site overstates things, though it does not remove the reader’s reason to be sceptical, and it should not.
What the arrangement does and does not influence
| Does not affect | Does affect |
|---|---|
| Any price you pay. The commission comes from the advertiser’s budget through the network. | Which product is covered. One title appears here because of this arrangement, and no comparison of titles was carried out. |
| What the game publisher offers you, or the terms you receive. | The existence of this site. Without the arrangement there would be no funding to write it. |
| How the product is described. The payment is identical either way. | Where the links appear — on the homepage, in step three and in step seven, each marked at the point of decision. |
| The general material on the genre, consumer rights, safety and classification, which is sourced to Australian authorities. | Nothing else. There is no display advertising, no sponsored content and no paid placement of any other kind. |
Which links are paid, and how they are marked
Every affiliate link on this site is a text link or button reading “Visit the War Thunder website”, and every one of them carries a plain disclosure line immediately beneath it. There are four, on three pages: the homepage, step three, and step seven (twice).
Technically, each of them:
- uses the network’s address directly in the link, so your browser shows the real destination before you follow it;
- carries
rel="sponsored nofollow noopener", which declares the commercial relationship to search engines; - opens in a new tab, leaving this page where it was;
- is never rewritten by script at the moment you click it, never routed through a redirect on this domain, and never disguised behind a shortener.
No other link on this site is paid. Links to Australian government bodies — the ACCC, the eSafety Commissioner, the Australian Cyber Security Centre, Scamwatch, the OAIC and the Australian Classification Board — are ordinary references to a primary source, and no money moves in connection with any of them.
Why there are no ratings or reviews here
A score, a ranking or a “best of” table implies that products were assessed against each other. On a site funded by one affiliate arrangement, that implication would be false, and it is the specific thing that makes affiliate content misleading rather than merely commercial.
So this site publishes none of it: no ratings, no rankings, no scores, no comparison tables of competing products, no testimonials, no user quotes and no awards. What it publishes instead is explanation of the genre, which is useful whether or not you ever follow a link, plus a method for judging any title yourself on the titles covered page.
The legal position
Under the Australian Consumer Law, misleading or deceptive conduct in trade or commerce is prohibited, and it is enforceable against whoever made the statement — the publisher of a site, not only the advertiser whose product it concerns. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission is the regulator responsible, and it publishes guidance on advertising and selling, including the disclosure expected of paid endorsements online.
This site is written on the basis that every statement on it must be defensible, which is why product claims are restricted to what the game publisher states and general claims are linked to the authority that made them.
Questions
Anything about this arrangement can be put to info@crestspace.online. If you think a link on this site is inadequately disclosed, say which page it is on and it will be corrected. The same address handles corrections of any other kind, and the approach behind all of it is described on the About page.
