Editorial policy

How operator information becomes a score

The editorial desk uses public, attributable material and a fixed set of comparison fields. The process favours facts a reader can reproduce over claims that depend on private access or promotional copy.

Primary sources first

The Gambling Commission public register is used for the legal licensee, account, licensed activity and domain. Operator terms, help pages, app listings and visible casino navigation provide product and promotion context.

Third-party material can help locate a source, but a legal entity or licence number is not published from an unsupported claim.

The scoring frame

The percentage weighs UKGC record clarity, game range, live casino, mobile access, provider information, welcome-offer structure, support routes and overall usability. Scores are comparative editorial judgements rather than mathematical predictions.

A higher score does not imply better odds, safer gambling or likely winnings. Those claims would not follow from the criteria.

Re-checking entries

Entries are reviewed when a material operator change is identified and through periodic editorial checks. Each listing shows a date so readers know the age of the check.

Promotions and catalogues move faster than ownership records. Where an exact offer cannot be confirmed without adding promotional risk, the site describes the offer type instead.

Commercial boundaries

Affiliate availability can affect inclusion and placement. It does not supply points within the scoring frame or override a licensing concern.

Sponsored controls are labelled, and the disclosure page explains how commission may arise.

Corrections

Evidence-backed errors are corrected in the relevant page. A request should identify the wording, URL and source; the editorial desk checks the underlying record rather than accepting an assertion at face value.

Material changes may also lead to a last-checked date being updated.
