Editorial policy
Every factual statement on this site has a source, and the source is printed next to the statement rather than buried.
The four labels
| Label | What it means | Example wording |
|---|---|---|
| Operator data | The operator has published this and we are quoting it | "According to the operator: … We have not verified this ourselves." |
| Market range | We have no confirmed figure, so we give the typical market range and say so | "… that is what this market typically offers, not a figure taken from 8777bet." |
| Third-party brand | A figure another brand publishes about itself | "… not verified by us; check this brand's own entry in its regulator's register." |
| Legal position | General legal information with the date it was correct | "… the general position as of <date>." |
Rules we hold to even when asked not to
- We never present an invented or averaged figure as operator data. A reader deposits money on those numbers.
- A licence number and its regulator are never market averages — either we have seen the register entry or we say we have not.
- Bonus figures on badges are written as 'up to', because tiered offers cannot be stated as a single number.
- Figures found on a competitor's site are not a source. They may be stale or invented there, so they become a market range or a direct check with the operator.
Why the labels are visible rather than in a footer
A disclaimer at the bottom of a page does not travel with the number. Someone reading a table on a phone sees the figure and not the footer, so the note sits next to the figure instead.
Corrections and dates
Every page carries a published and a modified date, both in the visible byline and in the structured data, with a timezone offset. When a fact changes, the page changes and the date moves.
