Editorial guidelines

Sourcing

Facts come from primary sources in priority order: the operator's own terms and cashier pages, official license registries, then corroborated public records. Every casino fact carries a last-verified date. Claims we cannot verify are attributed ("the casino advertises…") or cut. We do not copy competitor reviews, and we do not publish operator press releases as content.

Reviews

Every review scores six dimensions under the publicCC Index methodology and must include concrete cons — a review without drawbacks is rejected in edit. Named authors sign every review; bylines resolve to real profiles. We do not accept payment, free play, or affiliate-rate changes in exchange for coverage, scores, or ranking positions.

AI assistance — disclosure

Casino Catalog uses AI tools in drafting and data processing, the way a newsroom uses spellcheck and spreadsheets. What AI never does here: invent facts, scores, or test results. Every fact in a published page traces to the dated, human-maintained fact index, every score to the methodology's arithmetic, and a human editor signs off before anything ships. If we publish an error anyway, the correction policy below applies — the tool used is never the excuse.

Corrections

Material errors are corrected in place, with the page's visible date updated. Score changes and delistings are logged with reasons. Found something wrong?Tell us — we commit to reviewing correction reports within the current 30-day verification cycle.

The revenue wall

Affiliate revenue and editorial scoring are structurally separated: ranked lists sort by CC Index in the site's code, sponsored placements live only in labeled boxes outside ranked lists, and commission terms are recorded nowhere the scoring system can see. The full picture is in the affiliate disclosure.

Responsible coverage

Gambling content is YMYL — it can cost readers real money. Every commercial page carries 18+ marks, wagering terms next to every bonus mention, and in-content responsible-gambling resources. We do not target, depict, or design for minors, and we do not frame gambling as income, investment, or a solution to financial problems.
