Trust is everything to us, so we hold the ads on our platform to the same standard as our own content. These guidelines apply to every advertisement, banner placement, and piece of sponsored content published on FX Recap. They exist for one reason: to keep advertising honest, legally compliant, and safe for everyone in our community.

1. Financial content standards

Any ad that makes a financial claim has to be truthful, independently verifiable, and fully in line with the financial regulations that apply to it. Misleading statements about investment outcomes, projected returns, or risk are not allowed, full stop.

1.1 Financial claims we don’t allow

The following claims are banned from all advertising on FX Recap:

  • Unrealistic profit claims. No “get rich quick” schemes, inflated profit percentages, or guaranteed returns that go beyond what the market realistically offers.
  • Guarantees of success. Nothing may be described as risk-free, guaranteed, or certain to make money. Every financial activity carries real risk, and ads have to respect that.
  • Hidden or unclear pricing. All fees, costs, commissions, and payment terms must be shown clearly and up front. Deceptive or buried pricing is not permitted.
  • Misleading comparisons. Any comparison must use the same criteria and conditions for both sides. Cherry-picked data or unfair comparisons designed to mislead are banned.
  • Unqualified forecasts. Any prediction about future performance must clearly state that past results don’t guarantee future outcomes and that market conditions can change without warning.

1.2 Handling sensitive information

Ads and any lead-capture forms attached to them must never ask for sensitive financial or personal details without the user’s clear consent and a secure, encrypted (HTTPS) connection.

The following information may never be collected through an ad or its landing page:

  • Bank account numbers, routing information, or IBAN details
  • Credit or debit card numbers, CVV codes, or PINs
  • Net worth, liquid assets, or investment portfolio details
  • Credit scores, credit reports, or credit history
  • Outstanding debts, debt-to-income ratios, or bankruptcy status
  • Anything used to target people based on their debt, financial hardship, or credit difficulties

2. Ad integrity & placement

Ads must always be easy to tell apart from our editorial content, and they must never be designed to trick someone into clicking. Honest placement is a core part of keeping your trust.

2.1 Relevance and destination

  • Be honest about who you are. An ad must accurately represent the real company, product, service, or brand behind it. Impersonating another business is not allowed.
  • Match the landing page. What the ad says must line up with what’s on the page it sends people to. Bait-and-switch tactics are banned.
  • Send people somewhere real. Every ad link must lead to a complete, working website. Links to broken pages, half-finished sites, raw files, or email addresses are not accepted.

2.2 Placement practices we don’t allow

  • Ads that imitate site menus, system pop-ups, editorial headers, or other working parts of the interface.
  • Heavy animation, flashing, moving arrows, or countdown timers built to pressure people into clicking.
  • Ads placed under headings that make them look like news, editorial, or content written by FX Recap.
  • Pop-ups, pop-unders, auto-playing video with sound, and full-screen ads that block the content. These are banned on both ads and landing pages.

Best practice: label paid content clearly with words like “Advertisement,” “Sponsored,” or “Promoted,” so readers can always tell it apart from our own editorial work.

3. Submission & technical standards

Advertisers are fully responsible for the quality, accuracy, compliance, and legality of everything they submit to FX Recap.

3.1 Technical requirements

  • Domain origin. Ad content must be served from the ad server’s own registered domain. Content served from outside domains, raw IP addresses, or third-party servers is not permitted.
  • URL transparency. The display URL shown in the ad must match the actual destination. URL cloaking, hidden redirects, and misleading display URLs are banned.
  • Secure connections. Every landing page must use HTTPS encryption to keep user data safe.

3.2 Advertiser responsibility

Advertisers are solely responsible for all content, claims, compliance, and legal obligations tied to their ads. By submitting materials to FX Recap, an advertiser agrees to:

  • Make sure all content follows applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards
  • Verify that every factual claim and representation is accurate
  • Hold the proper licenses, permissions, and rights for everything used in the ad
  • Indemnify and hold FX Recap harmless against any third-party claims, damages, or legal actions arising from their advertising

4. Refusal, removal & disputes

To protect the platform and the people who use it, FX Recap keeps broad rights over the advertising we run.

4.1 Our editorial rights

FX Recap may accept, reject, change, pause, or permanently remove any ad, order, creative, or destination URL at any time and for any reason, including to:

  • Stay aligned with our editorial standards and values
  • Meet regulatory and legal requirements
  • Protect user safety, privacy, and trust
  • Maintain the quality of our advertising and the reputation of the platform
  • Respond to user complaints, feedback, or regulatory questions

4.2 Resolving disputes

If a disagreement comes up over advertising content, how these guidelines are interpreted, or an enforcement decision, both sides agree to first try to resolve it through confidential mediation, arbitration, or another form of alternative dispute resolution before starting any formal legal action.

These guidelines exist to keep FX Recap a place traders can trust. Honest advertising protects our readers, and protecting our readers is the whole point.
