๐ฏ Editorial Policy & Standards
Independence & Objectivity
While we maintain affiliate relationships with gambling operators, our editorial team operates independently. Review scores and rankings are determined by our standardized methodology, not affiliate revenue.
Conflicts of Interest: If we have a special relationship with a brand (sponsorship, exclusive deal), we disclose this clearly in the review.
Content Accuracy
- All factual claims are verified against official sources
- License numbers cross-checked on regulator websites
- Test results documented with timestamps and evidence
- Content reviewed by compliance editor before publication
Update Policy
The online gambling industry changes constantly. Our update commitments:
- Major Reviews: Re-tested every 6 months
- Minor Updates: Monthly checks for T&C changes, bonus offers, license status
- Breaking Changes: Immediate updates for license suspensions, major incidents, or regulatory changes
- Version Control: Each review includes version number and last update date
Correction Policy
We strive for accuracy but acknowledge mistakes happen. If you identify an error:
- Contact us via our contact page
- Provide specific details and evidence
- We'll investigate within 48 hours
- Corrections are made promptly with update notices
