Editorial Policy

Independence

Our editorial judgement is not for sale. We earn affiliate commission on some outbound casino links (see our affiliate disclosure), but commercial relationships never determine a score, a ranking, or whether a casino appears on a “best” list. The Verdict scorecard uses fixed, published weights precisely so that no operator can buy a better outcome.

Sourcing & accuracy

We prioritise primary sources: regulator and licensing registers, the casino’s own published terms, provider and on-chain documentation, and first-hand account walkthroughs. Community reports and forum complaints are treated as leads to verify, not as proof. We aim to date factual claims and link to sources where we can.

Research-based by default; tested when we say so

Most reviews are research-based overviews scored from verifiable public facts. We only describe a casino as tested — and only display the “Real-money tested” badge — when a reviewer has actually deposited, played and withdrawn. We never fabricate a payout time, a screenshot, a test or a rating. If we haven’t done something, we don’t imply that we have.

Use of AI tools

We use AI tools to assist with research, drafting and editing. This does not remove human accountability: a human editor reviews every page before publication and is responsible for its accuracy. We do not publish unreviewed machine output, and factual and safety-sensitive claims are human-checked.

Authorship

Articles are published under the BTC Casino News Editorial byline, representing our editorial team. We deliberately do not invent individual “expert” personas, fake author photographs or borrowed professional credentials — a practice that is common in this niche and that we think misleads readers.

Corrections

We correct errors as soon as we can verify them. For material corrections we add a dated note explaining what changed. If you believe something is inaccurate or out of date, please contact us — casino terms and licensing change often, and reader reports genuinely help.

Advertising & sponsored content

We do not run token sales, presales or “shill” promotions. Any sponsored content, if published, is clearly labelled as such and kept separate from editorial reviews and rankings.

Responsible gambling

We include responsible-gambling context where it matters, show bonus terms in full, and flag restricted regions. Gambling is entertainment with a built-in house edge, never a way to make money. See our responsible-gambling page for free, confidential help.
