How we fact-check every claim

Four people see every published article. Three verify the facts independently. The editor-in-chief signs off. This is how we keep error rates low in an industry full of misinformation.

The 4-step process

Step 1: Author verification

The author writes the article and is responsible for verifying every factual claim against original sources. Specifically:

The author files all evidence in our internal verification folder before submitting to peer review.

Step 2: Peer editor review

A second editor (not the author) independently re-checks every factual claim against the source materials in the evidence folder. They:

The peer editor cannot be: the author, anyone with a personal relationship with the article subject, or the editor-in-chief (who reviews after).

Step 3: Numerical recalculation

Anything mathematical is recalculated by a third independent person:

This step exists because numerical errors are the most common kind in casino reviews and the most likely to mislead deposit decisions.

Step 4: Editor-in-chief sign-off

Aaron Lim (founder, editor-in-chief) reads the final draft top-to-bottom. He looks for:

The EIC has full veto power. Articles that don’t pass this step go back to the author with notes.

Special cases

When we’re reporting on a casino we have a commercial relationship with

An additional editor-in-chief review is required. The EIC explicitly considers: would we publish this same content if we had no commercial relationship? If the answer is no, the article is rewritten or killed.

When we’re adding a casino to the Avoid List

Two senior editors must sign off. Evidence requirements are higher: at least 3 verified player cases or one critical breach (fake license, identity theft). The casino is given 14 days notice and an opportunity to respond before publication.

When we’re publishing a Trust Center case study

The player must consent in writing. Personal details are anonymised. Operator details are anonymised unless the case has been escalated to public Avoid List status.

When we get it wrong anyway

Our process catches most errors before publication, but not all. When errors slip through, we follow our public 更正政策. In 2025 we caught 14 critical errors in pre-publication review and issued 9 corrections post-publication. That ratio (caught vs missed) is something we track and try to improve.
