Editorial policy
in plain language.

Commercial relationships do not permit an operator to buy a verified status or editorial conclusion. Editorial lead Natalie Yap signs off on this policy and the checks it describes.

How We Keep Editorial Calls Separate From Advertiser Money

This site earns money when readers click certain links, and some of those links pay a commission. That fact never decides which offers appear, how a page is worded, or whether an entry gets flagged as unverified. The commercial side and the fact-checking side are handled as separate steps, on purpose.

What Actually Influences Whether An Offer Gets Listed

An offer gets listed when we can point to the operator's own published terms and match what we show against that source. A working link, dated evidence, and clear labeling of anything we couldn't confirm all matter more than how the listing arrived on our radar.

What We Deliberately Keep Out Of That Decision

Commission size, promotional spend, and how often an operator contacts us play no part in inclusion. We don't rank an entry higher because a partnership exists, and we don't soften a listing's unverified status just to keep it looking cleaner.

The table below sums up the split we try to hold in every review cycle.

How We Verify An Offer Link Before It Goes Live

Every offer link goes through a dedicated verification pass before publishing, checking that it actually leads to the page it claims to lead to. This section summarises that process; the full method has its own page.

The Short Version

We open the link ourselves, confirm it lands on the operator's real domain, and check that the destination matches what the listing claims. If a link fails any of those checks, the listing doesn't go live until it's fixed.

Where To Read The Full Method

The complete verification steps, including how often links get rechecked and what counts as a failed check, live on our verification methodology page. This section only covers the editorial reasoning behind it.

Why You Won't Find Star Ratings Or "Best Casino" Lists Here

We don't publish star ratings, review scores, or "best casino" rankings because we can't independently verify the inputs a score like that would need, such as real payout speed. Instead we publish what we can check, and we date it.

The Problem With Scoring A Promotional Offer

A star rating implies we tested something firsthand, like how quickly a withdrawal actually arrived. We don't have a reliable way to test that across many operators, so a score would just be a guess dressed up as a number.

What We Publish Instead

We publish dated evidence: what the operator's terms say, when we last checked, and what we couldn't confirm. A listing on this site is not an endorsement, and it never implies a ranking against competing operators.

How Often Pages Get Rechecked

Offer pages sit on a routine recheck schedule, and any page can also get an out-of-cycle review the moment we spot a reason to look again. The date shown on a page reflects the most recent check, not when it was first written.

Scheduled Reviews

Pages tied to time-sensitive offers get checked on a routine cycle, so the published terms don't drift too far from what the operator currently shows on their own site.

What Triggers An Early Recheck

A reader report, a broken link, or a noticeable change on the operator's own page all trigger an immediate recheck, instead of waiting for the next scheduled pass to come around.

How We Spot And Handle Conflicts Of Interest

A conflict of interest here usually means a commercial relationship that could tempt us to soften an unverified label or skip a check. We handle it by keeping the fact-checking step separate from the commercial side, every time.

Common Conflict Scenarios

The clearest example is an operator asking us to remove an "unknown" label without providing the source needed to verify it. Another is a partner asking for priority placement instead of relying on the same inclusion criteria as everyone else.

What We Do When One Comes Up

The commercial request gets declined if it conflicts with what the source evidence actually shows. Editorial lead Natalie Yap has the final say on any page where a conflict is raised.
