Editorial policy

Every page is checked against the rules below before publication and rewritten if it fails. They exist because this is a subject where a confident sentence is easy to write, profitable to publish, and expensive for the reader to believe.

What gets a page rejected

An operator link with no disclosure before it. A ranking whose order does not follow from the figures printed beside it. An “exclusive” offer that is the public offer with a tracking code. A rating out of ten with no stated method. A bonus presented at face value with its wagering requirement further down the page than the amount.

A figure quoted without the rule it depends on — a blackjack edge with no deck count or dealer rule, a roulette edge that does not say how many zeros, an RTP with no game version. A withdrawal time with no date. A number the page does not derive, so the reader is asked to trust rather than check.

Any sentence predicting what will happen to an individual reader, or describing a game as due, hot, cold, or beatable by a betting pattern. Any page that reads as an encouragement to gamble rather than a description of what gambling costs.

What every recommendation must carry

The licence the operator holds and who issued it. The measured withdrawal time and when it was measured. The RTP of the games the page is about. The wagering multiple and the game weighting on any offer mentioned. And the disclosure, above the link rather than below it.

Corrections

An error in a calculation is corrected on the page, and the page says what was wrong and when it changed. A figure that turned out to depend on an assumption the page did not state is treated as an error, not a detail. An operator whose terms change is re-measured or removed — a review describing a casino that no longer exists in that form is the most common lie in this industry and it is usually told by neglect.
