Our Fact-Checking Process
Every claim we make is verified against official sources and independently fact-checked
Accuracy is not optional in casino reviews—it's essential. When we state that a casino offers a specific bonus, operates with a particular license, or processes payouts in a certain timeframe, readers make financial decisions based on that information. Inaccurate claims can cost readers money, lead to poor choices, and undermine trust in our entire platform. That's why every factual claim in our content goes through a rigorous verification process before publication.
Our fact-checking methodology is built on three fundamental principles: primary source verification, independent review, and continuous re-verification. We don't rely on secondary sources, press releases, or casino marketing materials to verify claims. Instead, we go directly to authoritative sources—official casino terms and conditions, regulatory databases, and documented firsthand testing. Every fact is verified by at least two team members working independently, and our fact-check editor reviews all documentation before content is approved for publication.
The sweepstakes casino industry changes constantly. A bonus offer accurate today may change tomorrow. A game library may expand or contract. Payout methods may be added or removed. That's why fact-checking isn't a one-time event—it's an ongoing process. We re-verify every casino in our database monthly, checking bonus terms, license status, game counts, and other key facts to ensure our content remains current and reliable. When changes occur, we update our content and documentation within 48 hours.
Why Fact-Checking Matters
In the online casino industry, misinformation can cost players money and lead to poor decisions. Bonus terms change frequently, licenses expire, and payout methods evolve. What was true last month might not be accurate today.
That's why we've implemented a rigorous fact-checking process that verifies every claim against official sources and re-checks all information monthly. Our commitment to accuracy means you can trust that the information you're reading is current and verified.
Our Fact-Checking Standards
Primary Source Verification
We only accept information from primary, official sources. This includes the casino's own terms and conditions, regulatory body databases, and official company filings.
Primary sources are the gold standard for fact-checking because they eliminate the risk of information being misinterpreted, misrepresented, or outdated through intermediary reporting. When we verify a bonus offer, we read the actual terms and conditions page on the casino's website, not a third-party description. When we check licensing status, we query the state gaming commission database directly, not rely on a casino's claim to be licensed. This approach requires more effort but produces far more reliable results.
We maintain detailed documentation for every verified fact, including the source URL, access date, and the specific location within the source where the information appears. For dynamic content that may change, we archive screenshots as evidence of what was stated at the time of verification. This documentation serves multiple purposes: it allows us to quickly re-verify information during updates, provides a chain of evidence if disputes arise, and enables readers to check our sources independently.
- Official casino website terms and conditions
- State gaming commission databases and official records
- Company registration and incorporation documents
- Direct communication from casino operator support (screenshot documented)
Monthly Re-verification
Casino information changes frequently. We re-verify every fact in our database monthly, checking for changes to bonus terms, game libraries, licensing status, and policies.
Source Documentation
Every fact we state is linked to its source. We maintain detailed documentation of where each piece of information came from and when it was last verified.
Example: When we state a casino's welcome bonus is "250K GC + 25 SC", we document:
- • Source URL to the official bonus page
- • Screenshot of the offer (archived)
- • Date verified: 2026-01-18
- • Verifier: Emily Rodriguez, Fact-Check Editor
- • Terms & conditions URL
Independent Verification
Critical facts are independently verified by multiple team members. Our fact-check editor reviews all verifications before publication.
Corrections & Updates
Despite our rigorous process, errors can occur. When we discover an error or receive credible evidence that information is incorrect, we:
- Immediately investigate the claim against our sources
- Correct errors promptly and update the "Last Updated" timestamp
- Document the correction in our internal records
- For significant errors, add a correction notice to the article
