How we check casino claims and compare evidence

What we currently publish

PlayVeritys publishes explanations of rules, game mathematics, payment claims and verification methods. This edition has no operator rankings, referral buttons or paid placements. A method article is not evidence that every operator has been evaluated.

Google’s review guidance emphasises experience, evidence and useful comparisons. We therefore distinguish source research from direct tests and mark fictional examples as examples.

Separate sources by the question they answer

“Primary” does not always mean independent: an operator’s own terms are primary evidence of what it claims, not independent evidence that it fulfils those terms.

The claim record

For each material statement, record the exact domain, entity, quoted or summarised claim, source URL, source date, check date and the conclusion it supports. Keep a separate field for what remains unverified.

A licence check should identify its regulator record. A payout-speed check would need a described transaction and timestamps. Neither can be replaced by a brand-wide label copied from another comparison list.

Conflict and uncertainty

If a footer names one company and the terms another, do not silently choose one. Record the mismatch and look for a documented explanation. If a source is unavailable, label the claim unverified rather than turning absence into a fraud accusation.

Use language that matches the evidence: “the operator states,” “the register lists,” “the complainant reports,” or “our illustrative calculation shows.” Those statements answer different questions.

Scoring, commercial interests and revisions

We do not publish a numerical trust score in this edition. If one is introduced, it must explain criteria, evidence and weights, and disclose material commercial relationships. Unknown information should remain unknown; it should not become a fabricated average score.

The check date reflects an actual source review. An updated headline year is not a review. Record substantive changes and correct claims when better evidence becomes available. Market eligibility requires separate legal assessment; an editorial label cannot provide it.
