Affiliate Disclosure
Last Updated: 4/15/2026
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires that we disclose any relationship we have between a product manufacturer or service provider when we write about a product or service.
The Gold Rush Times operates as a financial education and research publication. To maintain our completely free access for all readers, we generate revenue through advertising and affiliate marketing.
1. Affiliate Links & Compensation
Some of the links on this website are "affiliate links." This means if you click on the link and purchase an item or open an account, The Gold Rush Times may receive an affiliate commission.
This does not cost you anything extra. In fact, in some scenarios, clicking our links may provide you with discounted premiums or promotions negotiated exclusively for our readers.
2. Objective Analysis Guarantee
We strictly review and recommend bullion dealers and financial services based on their merit, security, insurance policies, and spot price premiums. A company operating an affiliate program does not guarantee them a favorable review on our site.
If a dealer charges abusive premiums or lacks delivery insurance, they will not be recommended, regardless of compensation offered.
3. Financial Liability Disclaimer
Our reviews and comparison metrics are provided for informational purposes only. We are not financial advisors. Investing in physical precious metals carries risk. You must perform your own due diligence before making capital allocations based on our website's data.
