Editorial policy

Independence

Advertisers, sponsors and affiliate partners have no say over what we cover, how we cover it or what score a product receives. Commercial staff do not see stories before publication.

Sourcing and verification

Claims about on-chain activity are checked against the chain itself, not against a press release. Claims about licences are checked against the regulator's public register. Anonymous sources are used only when the information matters and cannot be obtained on the record, and an editor must know who the source is.

Holdings and betting

Reporters disclose crypto holdings above a small threshold to their editor and do not write about assets they hold, other than bitcoin and ether. Staff do not bet with operators they are currently reviewing.

Advertising and sponsored content

• Display, video and native ad placements are labelled “Advertisement”, “Sponsored” or “From our partners”.
• Sponsored articles are written or approved by the sponsor and carry a label at the top.
• Reviews never include paid placement, and rankings are never sold.

Corrections

When we get something wrong we fix it and say so at the foot of the article, with the date. To report an error, use the contact page.

Gambling content

We write about gambling as an industry. We do not publish tips, we do not encourage anyone to gamble, and pages that discuss operators carry an 18+ notice and a link to support services.
