It explains how our content is intended to be produced, sourced, reviewed and corrected, and how our commercial relationships are kept separate from our editorial judgement. It is written as a statement of the standards we hold ourselves to. ## Editorial principles Our aim is to help readers understand online casinos and casino games clearly and accurately. Coverage should describe what a site or game actually offers, including its limits, rather than promote it. Ratings and recommendations are intended to reflect editorial assessment against consistent criteria such as bonus terms, payments and the live casino experience, which are core areas of focus for our team. We are committed to editorial independence. Commercial partnerships must not determine our conclusions, and no advertiser or affiliate partner is entitled to a favourable rating or placement. Where our view of a product is critical, that view should be published regardless of any commercial relationship. ## Sources and evidence Content should be based on verifiable information. This includes operator-published terms and conditions, licensing details, game provider specifications, and other primary documentation. Where a claim depends on a specific figure, such as a return-to-player percentage or a bonus condition, that figure should be traceable to a stated source. Game details we publish, such as provider, category and mechanics, are drawn from provider information. For example, our coverage of a title such as [Gates of Olympus]({{< relref "slots" >}}) reflects the provider's stated mechanics and specifications rather than promotional summaries. We do not present marketing language as independent fact. When information cannot be verified, it should be clearly framed as unconfirmed or omitted. ## Factual claims Factual claims must be specific and supported. Figures relating to bonuses, wagering requirements, payment methods, processing times and licensing should reflect the information available at the time of writing. Because operator terms change, readers should always confirm current details directly with the operator before acting on them. Our licensing information references the Malta Gaming Authority, and licence status should be checked against the relevant regulator where it matters to the reader. We avoid absolute guarantees about outcomes, winnings or availability, because these depend on operator terms and individual circumstances that we do not control. ## Reviews and updates Reviews are intended to be reassessed when the underlying facts change, such as revised bonus terms, new payment options or changes to licensing. Our policy is to update coverage when we become aware of material changes, and to record the date of the most recent update so readers can judge how current the information is. Where a page has not been reviewed recently, readers should treat time-sensitive details with additional caution. We do not claim a fixed publication schedule. Updates are driven by relevance and accuracy rather than a set cadence. ## Corrections We take accuracy seriously and treat corrections as a priority. If a reader identifies an error, or if we discover one ourselves, our policy is to review the claim against its source and correct the content where the error is confirmed. Substantive corrections should be reflected in the page's update date. Readers can report suspected errors by contacting us at hello@luckythorne.example. ## Commercial relationships PahanCasino is funded in part through affiliate arrangements. This means that when readers follow certain outbound links to operators and later sign up or deposit, we may receive a commission. This funding supports our work but does not change how we evaluate or rate a product. To keep these interests transparent, affiliate-supported links are treated as commercial links, and our assessments are made on editorial grounds. A commercial relationship does not buy a higher rating, a recommendation, or protection from criticism. Where our conclusions are unfavourable, we publish them. ## Scope and limits Our content is informational and reflects our editorial view at the time of writing. It is not financial, legal or professional advice. Availability of operators, bonuses and games varies by jurisdiction and over time, so some details may not apply to every reader. Gambling involves risk, and readers should make their own decisions and consult the operator's current terms. For more about who we are and how we work, see our [About]({{< relref "about" >}}) page.
