Primary sources first
We begin with the operator’s current terms, legal footer, licence reference, payment policy, bonus terms, responsible-gambling pages and live product. A regulator register is preferred for independent licence confirmation.
Third-party reviews can identify questions but do not replace the operator contract or official register.
A fixed scoring framework
Verified casinos receive category scores for safety, payments, games, mobile experience, support and bonuses. The weights are published and calculated consistently. Commercial value is not a scoring category.
A score can be withheld entirely when the company, licence or live product cannot be verified.
Fact, observation and opinion
A licence number, minimum deposit and published processing target are facts with a source and date. Mobile navigation quality is an editorial observation. A verdict is a reasoned opinion built from both.
Reviews state when an operator claim has not been independently timed or when regional variation limits a global statement.
Sponsored placement
A commercial partner may receive a clearly labelled placement. It does not receive a fabricated rating, and it cannot borrow facts from another brand. Sponsored previews can appear before scored entries only when the page explains the distinction.
Outbound buttons open the brand’s official domain unless a clearly disclosed commercial destination is used.
Updates and material changes
Every real review shows a last-reviewed date and source list. Offers can change daily; licences, ownership, payment rules and location restrictions are treated as material changes requiring prompt review.
A scheduled review should still be brought forward when a regulator notice, operator migration or substantial complaints pattern appears.
Corrections and reader evidence
Readers and operators can send corrections to the published editorial email. Useful submissions identify the exact page, claim and primary source. We correct factual errors without trading changes for commercial terms.
Historical screenshots and dated terms are retained in the research folder where practical.
Frequently asked questions
No. Commercial placement is labelled separately and does not change the scoring framework.
A score is withheld when key facts or the live product cannot be verified, as with a prelaunch preview.
Material changes trigger an earlier review; otherwise each page is revisited on a regular editorial schedule.
