Editorial policy

Independence

Commercial relationships never decide what we say or how we rate. Ratings follow the published methodology.

Sourcing and fact-checking

• Regulatory and payments claims must trace to a primary source (PAGCOR, BSP, the provider itself) or be hedged.
• Articles awaiting verification are marked DRAFT and set to noindex.
• We do not publish invented statistics or unattributed testimonials.

Corrections and updates

Each article shows publication and update dates. Report errors via contact; we correct material errors promptly and note the change.

Licensing gate

Only operators verified as PAGCOR-licensed can be reviewed favourably or linked to. Offshore operators and e-sabong are never recommended.

How this site is produced

Pages are drafted with AI assistance and then checked against the primary documents they cite (PAGCOR lists, memos and codes, and named news sources). Dates, figures and quotations are traced to those sources; where we could not open a source we say so on the page. Hand-read PAGCOR list data was also checked by independent reviewers. This is not a substitute for a named human editor: we have not yet published a named author or fact-checker with checkable credentials, and until we do, pages here are information for readers, not expert or legal advice.

What we do not do

• We do not call a page a review unless someone has used the service; pages about operators are labelled licence checks.
• We do not publish ratings, bonus amounts or payout times that we have not tested and dated.
• We do not publish batches of near-identical pages. Pages that are too similar are merged or kept out of search.

Authors

Named authors and a fact-checker will be listed on authors when they are in place.
