Editorial policy

Sources

Every number on a new page — a house edge, a tax rate, a payout, a date — comes from a named source or from arithmetic shown on the page. Primary documents come first: federal and state statutes, regulators’ published reports and rules, court rulings, and the pay tables and rule cards that games publish. Where a figure cannot be traced to a source it is left out.

Fact-checking

Before publication a second member of the desk checks each figure against its source and re-runs the arithmetic. Legal pages are checked against the current text of the law, not against summaries.

Corrections

Mistakes are corrected on the page as soon as they are confirmed. A correction that changes a figure or a conclusion is noted at the end of the page with the date and what changed. Report a mistake to [email protected] with the address of the page and the sentence in question.

Independence

The desk takes no payment for coverage and does not run affiliate links. Older guides from the earlier site mention operators by name; those links carry no tracking.

Submissions and the newsroom feed

The Articles section also carries a newsroom feed of general items from the wider industry. Items in the feed are labelled as such and are not betting advice. Pitches and submissions go to the same address; the desk replies to those it takes up.

Updates

Pages on law and tax are reviewed when the rule they describe changes. A page that has been reviewed shows an “Updated” date next to the original one.
