About Gamble Verdict

Gamble Verdict explains how casino games, betting markets and the rules around them work, with the arithmetic shown. Pages are written and checked by the Gamble Verdict desk, a small editorial team; they are signed with the desk name rather than personal bylines.

What the site covers

Nine sections: Betting, Poker, Blackjack, Slots, Casino (table games, bingo, bonuses and banking), Gambling (law, tax and the industry), Esports, US States and Articles, where new explainers and the newsroom feed appear.

How a page is made

Each explainer starts from one question a reader actually has. The answer is worked from a primary document where one exists — a statute, a regulator’s report, a court ruling, a published pay table — and the document is named in the text. Arithmetic is shown so it can be checked. The editorial policy sets out the rules in full.

What the site does not do

Gamble Verdict does not take bets, hold player funds or rank operators for payment. It does not tell readers which bet to place.

The earlier site

Guides written for the earlier version of this site are still at their original addresses, inside the sections above. Older pages carry a note that their figures are as of the original writing.
