How iGaming Content Should Be Sourced
Regulator registers, official rules and published enforcement notices — not other affiliate sites.
The reliability of casino coverage depends almost entirely on where it gets its facts, and most of it recycles other affiliate sites.
Primary sources exist and are public. Regulator registers confirm licensees. Published enforcement notices document what operators actually did wrong. Regulators' licence conditions and codes state the rules directly. Game information panels and supplier documentation give RTP and rule details. Operator terms pages give bonus conditions.
Secondary sources worth using include peer-reviewed gambling research and official statistics publications.
Sources not worth using: other affiliate reviews, forum anecdotes as evidence of systematic behaviour, and operator press releases treated as fact. A publication that cannot show its source for a rating is asking to be trusted rather than checked.
Affiliate disclosure: The Bet Scene may earn a commission from operators listed here. This never affects our editorial ratings.
Gambling involves risk and there is no strategy that guarantees a win. Only stake what you can afford to lose. Support is available at BeGambleAware.org and GamCare.
