Our Fact-Check Policy
Last Updated: July 2026
SafeGamingSites is committed to publishing accurate, verifiable information about online casinos. Because online gambling directly affects our readers’ finances (a YMYL — Your Money Your Life — category under Google’s search quality guidelines), we hold ourselves to a higher factual standard than general-interest publishers.
Our Verification Process
Every casino review published on this Site passes through the following checks before going live:
- Licence verification — We cross-reference every claimed licence number against the regulator’s official public register (Curaçao Gaming Authority, Anjouan Gaming, PAGCOR, MGA, UKGC).
- Operator verification — Company name, jurisdiction of incorporation, and beneficial ownership are verified against the licence register and public corporate filings.
- Payment method testing — Deposit methods, minimum limits, and stated withdrawal times are tested by our team using real accounts where feasible.
- Bonus terms review — Wagering requirements, game contribution %, expiry period, and maximum-bet rules are read from the current T&Cs, not archived versions.
- Third-party cross-check — We cross-check safety index scores with independent aggregators (Casino.Guru, AskGamblers, LCB) to identify player complaint patterns.
Sources We Cite
Where our reviews reference specific facts — licence numbers, bonus percentages, withdrawal limits — we cite the primary source in the article body. Primary sources include:
- Regulator public registers (cga.cw, anjouangaming.com, pagcor.ph, mga.org.mt)
- Casino operators’ official Terms and Conditions
- Independent testing labs (eCOGRA, iTech Labs, BMM Testlabs)
- Government sources (agc.gov.my for Malaysia, mha.gov.sg for Singapore)
Corrections
If you find an error — an outdated licence number, incorrect bonus terms, or a superseded payment method — email editorial@safegamingsites.com with a link to the article and a description of the issue. We investigate every reported error, correct it if verified, and add a “Correction” note at the top of the affected article.
What We Do NOT Fact-Check
We do not verify claims made by third-party advertisers, casinos’ own marketing materials, or user-submitted comments. These represent the source’s own claims, not our editorial position.
Editorial Independence
Our fact-checks are not influenced by advertising relationships. A casino paying us a higher commission cannot buy a better review, cannot suppress negative findings, and cannot expedite factual corrections beyond our normal timeline. See our affiliate disclosure for the commercial framework.
