Data Accuracy

The punctual data presented on our platform regarding casinos, software, and games are subjected to a rigid quality control process. We train and employ several teams to communicate with brands, conduct research, and promptly update our readers on relevant changes. 

One crucial aspect of this process is our strong collaboration with a network of trustworthy, reliable sources, particularly our partnerships with various casino operators. 

Maintaining Accuracy in Casino-Related Data

The accuracy of casino-related data, such as licenses and certifications, is paramount to us. This is why we employ two teams, Marketing and Affiliation, to ensure the information we present is correct and always up-to-date.

New casinos undergo an in-depth assessment before being added to our platform. Our teams request relevant information from casino representatives and cross-check it with the Terms and Conditions pages and other reliable external sources.

Our partners promptly inform us of any policy updates or pertinent changes, such as new licenses or software partnerships, so we can adjust our database accordingly. 

Data Accuracy in Promotions & Bonuses

A dedicated Promotions team ensures the accuracy of bonuses and promotions featured on our site. This process involves regular audits, cross-referencing various reliable sources, and direct communications with our partners. 

Moreover, our readers actively contribute to the accuracy of this data by voluntarily providing bonus feedback via documented evidence. 

Ensuring Accuracy in Free Games

Access to demo versions of high-quality, popular casino games is essential to making better gambling decisions. Our team references multiple sources, including player ratings, to select the newest and most beloved titles and add them to our collection. 

We consider the developer’s reliability, reputation, and the newest trends and player preferences. Extensive game testing is done to find and verify all features and game details. 

Lastly, our team contacts the developers to obtain data such as RTP and volatility if these aren’t yet available online. 

Data Accuracy for Software Information

We collaborate closely with an extensive database of software developers and publishers and keep a comprehensive documentation suite regarding their certifications, awards, and operating markets. 

We monitor user experiences and news to ensure our recommendations are up-to-date and reflect genuine industry opinions. Our Data Specialists promptly conduct corrections and updates when new information becomes available. 

Payment Information Accuracy

We cross-reference official sources and communications with trusted payment providers to deliver accurate information about payment platforms and security measures. 

Our agents keep close contact through direct channels with well-known and reputable payment providers and conduct strict audits before featuring new ones on our platform. 

When assessing the availability of various payment methods on our advertised casinos, our team conducts testing via registered accounts and references the information on the official Terms and Conditions pages.
