Zverev Tennis News is an independent fan site about Alexander Zverev and is funded partly through advertising and partnerships with betting operators. On this page we explain openly how this partner model works, which criteria tennis betting sites should meet in our view, and where our limits lie. It is intended for readers aged 18 and over. One important point up front: Alexander Zverev has nothing to do with this website, does not recommend any operator and has no connection to our partners.
How Zverev Tennis News is funded
Researching results, statistics and tournament overviews takes time. To keep the content free to read, we show advertising space from a betting partner on selected pages. If someone clicks such a banner and opens an account with the partner, we may receive a commission. This costs you nothing extra. This model is known as affiliate marketing.
All partner links are technically marked as sponsored links (the “sponsored” and “nofollow” attributes) and visually labeled as advertising. Every banner carries the note “Ad · 18+” and a pointer to help for gambling problems. Details are in our affiliate disclosure.
Editorial independence
Partners have no influence on our sports content. Results, rankings, head-to-head records and tournament data come from public sources such as the ATP and are given an “as of” date. A partner can neither decide how we report on a match nor what assessment we give in our match predictions. Advertising and editorial text are clearly separated on every page.
We use betting terms only on the pages that explicitly deal with odds, predictions and partners. Biography, career, statistics and news remain pure sports coverage.
We correct errors in results, rankings or statistics as soon as we notice them or are told about them – regardless of whether a correction is convenient or inconvenient for a partner. This is based on our editorial policy, which applies to all pages. Paid placement of content, hidden advertising in the body text or bought reviews do not exist at Zverev Tennis News.
Criteria for tennis betting sites
What requirements should a betting operator meet before it advertises on a tennis site? The following points are our benchmark – and at the same time a checklist for anyone choosing an operator for themselves. Check them yourself before every registration, including with our partner.
License and regulation
Reputable betting operators work under a government license and openly name the responsible regulator on their website. Which license is relevant for you depends on the country you live in – and in some countries on the state or province. In Great Britain, for example, the Gambling Commission publishes a public register of licensed businesses. Check before registering whether the offer is permitted where you live.
Comprehensive tennis coverage
A good tennis partner covers not only the Grand Slams but also Masters 1000, ATP 500 and ATP 250 tournaments, the ATP Finals and team competitions such as the Davis Cup. Besides the match winner, set, handicap and games markets should be available. Which markets exist and how they work is explained on the tennis odds explained page.
Live odds and live data
Much of tennis is followed while the match is under way. Stable live odds, an up-to-date score and clear rules for interruptions, such as rain or a retirement, are therefore important.
Reliable payouts
Withdrawals should be processed promptly and without hidden fees. The terms for deposits and withdrawals must be clearly visible before registration.
Player protection
A reputable operator offers its own deposit and loss limits, time-out functions and the option of self-exclusion. In Great Britain, players can also block themselves from all participating gambling websites and apps at once through the free GAMSTOP service; similar national or state-level self-exclusion schemes exist in other jurisdictions.
Transparent terms
Bonus offers must be worded clearly, including all wagering requirements and deadlines. Small print that only becomes visible after a deposit is a reason to rule an operator out.
What we don't do
- We don't promise winnings and never call a bet “safe”.
- We don't claim that Alexander Zverev or any other player supports sports betting.
- We don't address minors and don't advertise in areas aimed at young people.
- We don't urge anyone to register: a partner banner is an advertisement, not a personal recommendation.
- We don't alter sporting facts, results or statistics in the interest of a partner.
- We don't sell tips and don't accept bets ourselves.
How to recognize advertising on this site
On article pages, partner banners appear in fixed positions: above the text, roughly in the middle and at the end. On the home page they sit between the individual sections. All banners are labeled as “Ad”, carry the note “18+” and point to help services. We do not place partner links within editorial text; links in the body text lead only to other pages of Zverev Tennis News.
When you click a partner link, you leave our website. The partner can see that you came from Zverev Tennis News – this is the only way a commission can be attributed. Which data is processed in the process is explained in our privacy policy. The respective operator alone is responsible for its offers, terms and data processing.
Notes for readers
Gambling can be addictive. Anyone who bets should set a fixed budget beforehand, only stake money they can afford to lose, never treat betting as a source of income – and only bet where it is legal for them. Free, confidential help is available in Great Britain from the National Gambling Helpline run by GamCare on 0808 8020 133, 24 hours a day, and in the United States from the National Problem Gambling Helpline on 1-800-MY-RESET (1-800-697-3738). We have gathered more information on our responsible gambling page.
