Evidence, independence and corrections are public rules.
Our standards define what can be claimed, which evidence is acceptable and when a promotional link must be suppressed.
Source hierarchy
We prefer regulator registers, legislation, operator legal documents and directly reproducible product checks. Affiliate feeds, marketing copy and third-party summaries cannot independently verify a licence, legal availability, payout speed or bonus value.
Country-level publication gate
Every claim must be evaluated for the domain’s target country. When local authorisation, payment access or support resources are not verified, the page must label the gap. A foreign licence is never presented as local authorisation.
Commercial independence
Affiliate relationships may influence coverage, but cannot increase a Safety Score. Promotional links use rel="nofollow sponsored" and are removed where market access is prohibited or unverified.
Corrections and complaints
Send the URL, disputed statement and primary evidence to Telegram @oecode, marked “Editorial correction”. This is the publisher’s correction channel—not a gambling regulator or emergency support service. Material corrections should update visible copy, structured data, source dates and affected rankings together.
Review cadence
Material restrictions and licensing changes trigger immediate review. Other operator profiles are rechecked at the visible editorial checkpoint. Unknown fields remain “Not verified”; editors must not estimate them.
