Fact-Checking Methodology

Plain-Language Summary

  • We start with official casino pages, terms, regulator records, and business records.
  • We do not run player sessions. When a claim depends on account setup, payments, or withdrawals, we cite the operator's own published terms and say plainly what we could not independently confirm.
  • We compare facts across sources instead of relying on one marketing page.
  • We update pages when terms, availability, bonuses, or ownership details change.

Our Commitment to Accuracy

Accurate casino information helps players avoid bad choices. We check bonus terms, payment rules, operator details, and availability before we publish them. If a fact cannot be verified, we either explain the uncertainty or leave it out.

This page explains the sources we use, the review steps we follow, and how pages are monitored after publication.

Our 5-Step Verification Process

1

Primary Source Research

We begin by gathering information directly from official sources.

  • Casino's official website and terms & conditions
  • Regulatory body databases for license verification
  • Company registration records and corporate filings
  • Official press releases and announcements
2

Product Research

We document direct product checks where they are available for a review.

  • Record account, game, payment, and redemption observations when directly checked
  • Separate direct observations from operator-stated or community-reported claims
  • Flag claims that need fresh operator or regulatory confirmation
  • Update reviews when source coverage changes
3

Cross-Reference Verification

We verify claims using multiple independent sources.

  • Compare stated bonus terms with actual terms pages
  • Verify license numbers with regulatory body records
  • Check ownership claims against business registries
  • Validate software providers through official partner lists
4

Community Validation

We use our community to identify discrepancies.

  • Monitor player feedback and experiences
  • Track community discussions on Discord and forums
  • Review error reports from users
  • Consider vote patterns as early warning signals
5

Editorial Review

All content undergoes final editorial review before publication.

  • The founder reviews factual claims against available sources and community data
  • Cross-checks against our database of verified information
  • Ensures consistency with previously published data
  • Flags any discrepancies for additional investigation
