This global policy outlines our core editorial values, research methodologies, evaluation criteria, and commitment to ethical publishing practices.
Our Editorial Values
We aim to guide players towards safe, fair, enjoyable, and responsible online gambling experiences. The core values guiding our publishing policy are in line with our mission statement:
- Integrity – While our authors take full responsibility for their content, we welcome reader feedback and rapidly correct any errors to uphold integrity. Authors are accountable for their published work and we openly communicate our editorial practices, standards, and overall mission. That’s how we fully inform players on how we operate, by providing details on our methodologies, criteria, and commercial relationships.
- Safety – We heavily prioritize player and data security as shown by our privacy policies.
- Independence – We are not owned by or receive direct funding from any casino operators, which ensures our ability to be fully impartial in our reviews and rankings. Our authors have the freedom to provide objective assessments.
- Player control – Our priority are responsible gambling, and the protection of vulnerable groups. You’ll see specific content in this line in our reviews and content policies.
Our Evaluation Methodology
Our authors have a vast first-hand experience gambling online with real money, which keeps their evaluations accurate and to the point. We create casino reviews striving to reflect our genuine player experiences from multiple perspectives – at least 3 reviewers check on each site to deliver an accurate rating.
We also reference regulations, compliance reports, player feedback, and other objective sources to provide a complete assessment.
Publishing practices we employ
- Anonymous testing without casino knowledge ensures we avoid bias. We conceal our reviewers’ identities and the casinos never know who and when is testing them.
- What sets us apart from competing publications is our empirical verification of each site. We build our reviews and ratings through actual gameplay, withdrawals, KYC checks, and more to fact check all of casinos’ to-good-to-be-true claims.
- To benchmark and rate operators most accurately, our experts consult public gambling regulations, licenses, game testing reports, odds reports, addiction research, and compliance authorities.
- Our data-driven analysis of each company, including its ownership/operations, licenses, game testing reports, and responsible gambling features ensures objectivity.
- Routine content audits and updates help us rapidly reflect casino platform updates and changes, new bonuses, or new research that may be relevant to our player base.
- We also check input from our legal, editorial, subject matter, and quality assurance teams across jurisdictions to align with regulations.
Casino Evaluation Criteria
We utilize consistent criteria assessed across multiple factors like:
- Company Integrity – Researched by legal team via licenses, executives, jurisdiction.
- Site Look and Feel – UX and design are evaluated by authors across desktop and mobile.
- Bonuses – Analysed by our affiliate team, then tested manually.
- Slot Games, Live Games – Tested first-hand by our reviewers through gameplay.
- Withdrawals, support – Verified through testing or checked with customer service.
- Responsible gambling – Checked by authors against regulations and tools offered.
Every casino review clearly outlines all our criteria categories so players fully understand how we rate and benchmark operators on each component.
Note on Content Accuracy
We pride with the accuracy of our casino mappings, yet you may encounter information lapses due to the ever-changing nature of the industry. While our authors are held accountable for the accuracy of their published content, this is subject to reasonable human error limitations, as shown in our privacy policy.
When online casinos update their offers, game catalogues or strike a new deal with a software or payment provider, some mismatches may occur. However, the King’s editors are quick to correct any errors during our regular content audits. We also correct any error our readers may indicate, so KingCasinoBonus.com welcomes reader feedback to maintain integrity.
