Editorial Policy
How our content is researched, checked, labelled and kept up to date.
Our purpose
We publish content to help Malaysian readers understand online slots, casino games, accounts and payments, and to make safer, better-informed decisions — including the decision not to gamble. We do not write content designed only to rank in search engines.
How content is researched
- Primary sources first. Where possible we rely on official sources: legislation, regulators, government services, payment providers' published terms and game developers' own documentation.
- Established facts for game mechanics. Figures such as house edge are standard mathematical values for defined rule sets. We state the rule set they apply to.
- No guessing about operators. If we cannot verify an operator detail (licence, payment methods, bonus amounts, limits, app availability), we say so and explain how readers can check it.
How information is checked
- Claim review. Every factual statement is checked against a source before publication. Statements we cannot support are removed or clearly labelled as unverified.
- Language review. We remove absolute or misleading wording such as “guaranteed”, “risk-free” or “100% safe”.
- Safety review. Each page is checked for the responsible gambling and legal context a reader needs.
- Final edit. The page is edited for clarity and accuracy by Mhelie Sy.
How we label information
| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Verified fact | A statement we can support with a reliable source |
| Editorial view | Our own explanation or assessment — opinion based on research |
| Promotional information | A claim made by an operator about its own products or offers; not independently verified |
| General guidance | Practical, general advice that is not specific to any one operator |
| Confirm with the official source | Details we could not verify, which readers should check directly |
Testing and personal experience
We do not claim hands-on testing or personal experience unless it actually took place, and we describe exactly what was tested. Our JKB Asia review is currently based on desk research only, and says so.
Ratings and reviews
We do not publish star ratings, scores, user reviews or testimonials unless they are genuine and verifiable. We do not use review or rating structured data.
Use of AI tools
We may use AI writing tools to help organise research and draft text. Every page is reviewed, fact-checked and edited by a person before publication, and the same accuracy standards apply regardless of how a draft was produced.
Updates
Pages show a “Last updated” date. We review core guides periodically and when we learn that information has changed. Minor edits (typos, formatting) may not change the date; factual changes always do.
Commercial relationships
Editorial decisions are not influenced by operators. Any commercial relationship will be disclosed on the affected page and in our affiliate disclosure. Corrections are handled under our corrections policy.
Responsible presentation of gambling information
We never present gambling as a way to make money or solve financial problems, never target content at minors, and include clear information on legal restrictions and support services.
