How our Spinathlon Casino guides are made
Our editorial goal is a guide a UK reader can trust without checking our work: every figure traced to a published source, every page dated, every correction applied quickly. We explain the research method, the corrections route and the review rhythm of every page type.
How we research a page
Research starts at the brand’s own published terms and factual listings. From them we build a dossier of cited facts before a paragraph is written: bonus tiers, payment minimums, verification windows, game counts and support routes, each fact carrying its source. Market context, such as UK helplines and regulator background, comes from the organisations’ own materials, and currency figures are converted at published reference rates and marked approximate. We write only what a source states, we leave out anything unconfirmed rather than soften it into a guess, and we name the wagering base rather than hand-wave a multiplier. A guide ships only when its research carries enough cited facts for every planned section, and a thin topic is cut rather than padded, because a page that fills silence with filler costs more trust than a short page earns.
How independence from affiliate relationships holds
Some links across our guides are commercial (affiliate) links, and they fund the desk without steering it: partners see published pages and never drafts, and no figure moves to favour a partner. When a partner’s product falls behind a rival on the published terms, the guide says so, because a reader who catches one softened comparison stops trusting every page. The same wall holds for corrections: a partner’s complaint about a verified figure is checked exactly like any reader’s, and the sources decide.
How a reader sends a correction
Readers keep us honest, and a correction follows one path:
- A reader names the guide and quotes the sentence or figure they doubt through our contact routes.
- Our desk checks the doubt against the same published sources the guide was written from.
- A verified correction is applied to the guide, and the reader hears what changed.
- An unverified point gets a reply explaining what the sources state, so the exchange always closes.
Accuracy checks and update rhythm
Each page type carries its own review rhythm, matched to how fast its facts move.
| Page type | Review rhythm | What triggers it |
|---|---|---|
| Bonus and payments guides | Re-checked every few weeks | Offers and payout terms are the quickest to move |
| Registration and app guides | Re-checked every couple of months | Verification windows and mobile routes move slowly |
| Service pages | Reviewed twice a year | Policy wording drifts less than brand facts |
| Reader-flagged passages | Corrected within days of verification | A reader message through our contact routes |
