Copyright Policy


This page explains what US Player Check owns, what third-party material appears here under permission, how our work can be quoted or reused, and how to file a copyright complaint if you believe your rights have been infringed.

In short

Our original reviews, guides, and site design belong to US Player Check. Casino logos, software provider brand assets, and other third-party material appear under permission or fair use (a legal exception allowing limited use of copyrighted material without permission, for purposes like commentary or review). If you hold rights in material published here and believe it has been used without authorization, the takedown process below explains how to reach us.

US Player Check Copyright Policy

What We Own

Unless stated otherwise on the material itself, the following is the intellectual property (ownership of things like text, images, logos, and designs, and who’s allowed to use or copy them) of US Player Check, protected under the US Copyright Act (the federal law that governs copyright protection in the United States) and the Berne Convention (an international treaty meaning copyright protection applies across most countries, not just the one the site is based in).

  • Original editorial content: every article, review, guide, and piece of analysis written by our contributors and editorial team, including the text, structure, and editorial judgment behind our casino rankings, bonus breakdowns, and responsible gambling guides
  • Design system and visual assets: our page layouts, original graphics, comparison tables, icons, and any photography or illustration we’ve created or commissioned
  • Brand marks: the US Player Check name and logo, which cannot be used in a way that implies affiliation, endorsement, or authorship by US Player Check without our written permission

Third-Party Material We Use

Some material on US Player Check belongs to others and appears under license, permission, or the limited exceptions allowed by law. We do not claim ownership of it, and its presence here does not transfer any rights to readers.

  • Casino and operator logos: names, logos, and brand assets shown in our reviews and comparison tables are the property of their respective owners (trademark acknowledgment, a note recognizing that a brand name or logo belongs to another company, not the site), reproduced to identify the operators we cover under permission or fair use
  • Software provider marks: game and software provider names and logos belong to their respective rights-holders and appear to report on and analyze the games they produce, with no affiliation or endorsement implied unless stated
  • Regulatory and licensing body marks: references to gaming regulators, such as state gaming control boards, are used for informational purposes and remain the property of those bodies

Quoting and Reusing Our Work

What’s allowed without permission:

  • Short, attributed quotation of our articles for news reporting, commentary, review, or research, with a clear, linked credit to US Player Check
  • Linking to our pages, which we welcome and don’t require permission for

What’s not allowed:

  • Reproducing our articles, reviews, or rankings in whole or in substantial part on any platform, including automated copying, scraping, or syndication
  • Republishing our original graphics, comparison tables, ratings, or design assets as your own, or in a way that misrepresents their source
  • Using the US Player Check name or logo in a way that suggests we’ve authored, endorsed, or partnered on your content when we haven’t

For licensing, syndication, or any reuse beyond the above, contact us using the details below.

If you own or control the rights to material published on US Player Check and believe it’s been used without authorization, we want to hear from you. We respond to properly made copyright complaints under the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the formal process a copyright owner uses to request that infringing content be removed) and act on legitimate notices promptly.

  1. Send a written notice. Email our copyright contact below. A valid DMCA notice must include:
  • Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed
  • The exact URL(s) on US Player Check where the material appears
  • Your contact information (name, address, phone number, and email)
  • A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
  • A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf
  • Your physical or electronic signature
  1. We review the notice. A member of our editorial team checks the complaint against the material in question and our records of any license or permission that applies to it.
  2. We act on legitimate complaints. Where a complaint is valid, we remove or amend the material and confirm this back to you. Where material is used under a license we hold, or where we consider the use lawful (fair use, for example), we’ll explain our position rather than remove it.

Submitting a copyright notice you know to be false or made in bad faith may carry legal consequences under 17 U.S.C. Section 512(f).

Copyright complaints and licensing inquiries should be sent to social@usplayercheck.com. Please mark the subject line clearly as a copyright matter so it reaches the right person without delay.
