Editorial Policy

online-casinos.io publishes a claim only when an operator's own document, a state law, a regulator's page or our own field test backs it, or when it is clearly labelled as a third-party figure. Cooper Hayes signs every page, and every date marks a real check.

This policy was last revised on October 29, 2026.

Who Signs Each Page

Cooper Hayes signs every page on online-casinos.io and runs the document check behind the safe online casinos ranking himself. His name appears only on work he wrote and checked. Alex Carter, our field tester in Denver, Colorado, supplies the hands-on records, and his name stands next to every figure that comes from his accounts.

Another contributor may occasionally fix a single figure, such as an excluded state that an operator added. Such an edit goes into the editorial log and gets a dated note above the section it changed, so the change is visible to readers rather than hidden in file history.

A signed page is only as good as the sources behind it, which is why sourcing comes next.

Sources Checked Before Publication

Primary sources are read on the day of the check. For the October 2026 ranking that meant each casino's Terms and sweepstakes rules, read on October 29, 2026, with version numbers where the operator prints them: version 2.6 at SpinBlitz, 3.2 at Coinz, 2.5 at Splash Coins, 1.1 at Acebet and 4.1 at Crown Coins.

Marketing copy counts as a claim to test, not a fact to repeat. A Splash Coins blog post says Sweeps Coins do not expire, while section 6.12 of its Terms of Use expires Virtual Coins after 60 straight days without gameplay, so the ranking page prints both. The grades that decide how each source is worded are listed on how we test casinos.

A single forum comment, however confident, does not count as a source. Records also expire, so each one carries the date it was taken.

What a Date on online-casinos.io Means

A date marks a check, never a file save. When the ranking page says documents were checked on October 29, 2026, that is the day the operators' pages were opened and read against the text.

Scheduled rechecks run every six months. Unscheduled ones start when something changes a reader's legal position or money: a new state ban, a new Terms version, a new cash-out rule. Oklahoma's ban on November 1, 2026 triggers the first of them.

Operator pages often disagree with each other, and the page records both sides with the date. When a page later turns out to be wrong, the fix follows a set routine.

How Corrections Are Made

Confirmed errors get fixed in public. The claim is first checked against its primary source, then the wording is changed, and a dated correction note opens the section it touches, showing the original wording and the new figure. Nothing is quietly deleted.

Take a hypothetical case: if the page said a casino excluded 14 states and its Terms showed 15, the note would print both numbers and the date of the fix. Readers who acted on the first version deserve to see what changed.

Send suspected errors to [email protected] with "Correction" in the subject, the section, the exact sentence and any evidence you have. Confirmed corrections usually go live within 48 hours.

Corrections never come from the commercial side, and the next section explains why.

Commercial Links and Editorial Independence

online-casinos.io may earn affiliate commission when a reader opens an account at a casino through a /go link. The affiliate disclosure covers the model in full.

That commission has no route into the text. The two steps on how we rate casinos apply to every casino in the same way, so no partner can move up the list once the documents are read. The weaknesses stay as written, from SpinBlitz's missing official cash-out minimum to Crown Coins' three company names.

Rules for Numbers, Experience and Uncertainty

Four rules govern how a claim is worded on online-casinos.io, whatever the casino.

The same caution applies to the law: where a state's ban starts on a future date, the page gives that date instead of treating the ban as already in force.

Content online-casinos.io Will Not Publish

No position on the list can be bought, and the order follows the two published steps. Paid editorial placements and guest posts from affiliate agencies are refused.

No page promises easy winnings or describes a purchase as free of risk. If you find wording like that anywhere on the site, treat it as an error and report it so it can be removed.
