Editorial Policy

This page explains how we decide what to write about, how we check facts on casino platforms and bonus terms before publishing, and how we handle mistakes when they happen.

How we evaluate the casinos and providers we cover

When we write about a casino platform, a software provider, or a bonus offer, we base what we say on publicly available information: the operator’s own terms and conditions, its licensing details, its published bonus rules (wagering requirements, game weighting, withdrawal limits), and its stated security practices (encryption, data handling). We don’t run our own lab tests on game software or payment processing — we’re a research and explanation desk, not a testing lab, and we don’t claim otherwise.

What “vetting” means here

• We check that an operator discloses its licensing jurisdiction (typically Malta, the UK, or Curaçao for the sites we write about — see our Licensing & Compliance page).
• We read the actual bonus terms rather than relying on marketing copy, and we flag terms that are unfavorable to players (high wagering requirements, short expiry windows, capped withdrawals on bonus winnings).
• We do not accept payment in exchange for a positive review, and we do not publish star ratings or scores that aren’t grounded in something we can point to and explain.

Commission and independence

Some links on this site are affiliate links, and we may earn a commission if a reader signs up through them. That relationship is disclosed on our Affiliate Disclosure page. Commission arrangements do not determine which operators we cover or how favorably we write about them — an operator that pays us a higher commission does not get better treatment in an article, and we don’t manufacture ratings to justify a placement.

How often content gets reviewed

Casino bonus terms, licensing status, and security practices change over time, so articles on this site get revisited periodically rather than left untouched indefinitely. We don’t publish a fixed review schedule (a small desk like this one reviews content as issues come up or as we notice something’s gone stale), but pages that carry meaningfully updated information will show a “last updated” date.

Correction & update policy

If something we’ve published turns out to be wrong, outdated, or unclear, we fix it. Here’s how that works:

• Factual errors (wrong numbers, outdated terms, broken links) are corrected in place as soon as we’re aware of them and can verify the fix.
• Material changes (an operator changes its bonus structure, licensing status, or ownership in a way that affects what we said) get the article updated and, where relevant, a note added.
• Last-updated dates are shown on pages where we’ve made a substantive update, so readers can tell whether they’re looking at current information.
• You can flag an error to us directly — see our Raise a Concern page or email [email protected].
