Ind Slots · brand identity and the verified install route
15 Aug 2026 · Companion desk
The Ind Slots companion publishes a brand identity card on the homepage and uses one first-party access route for every commercial CTA. This post explains what the companion publishes, what it does not, and why the route is single-source.
What the companion publishes
Brand mark, fact strip, screenshot rail, HOT shelf, YONO-style companion rows, mixed app directory preview, promos hub, VIP hub, daily news and a FAQ. Every commercial CTA on the homepage points to /Login/playnow.
What the companion does not publish
No invented bonus figures, rating numbers, user counts, licence claims, testimonial lines or device-specific performance claims. Where a value cannot be verified, the page states that the value is unverified.
Why a single route
Single-route routing keeps the disclosure tight, makes the redirect auditable and lets the support desk answer "where did you go?" with one answer. The redirect is configured at the nginx layer and never depends on JavaScript.
Why an inline disclosure
The disclosure appears on every page in the footer plus the brand identity card on the homepage. Inline disclosure makes the affiliate relationship unavoidable; users cannot miss it even if they skip the legal page.
Why dns-prefetch is allowed
The HTML head sets dns-prefetch and preconnect for the partner origin. That warms the DNS lookup without exposing the destination path in HTML or JavaScript. The full external URL is never placed in public copy.
Why no mirror URLs
The companion never exposes an alternate mirror URL, a side-loaded APK or a partner-side referral link. The same route serves every CTA. Mirror URLs would dilute the disclosure and complicate the support desk's audit trail.
