Overview of Our Editorial Standards
Editorial guidelines, developed for CasinosHunter, define how we collect, process, and provide information to our readers.
Why would you need editorial guidelines?
All contributors at CasinosHunter have to follow these guidelines to make sure that all information we have on the platform is provided according to specific quality standards.
Whatever we write, from a game review, an online casino review, a blog post, or industry research, there is a multi-layered block of criteria that all contributors have to follow.
All we write at CasinosHunter is created to help online casino players make informed decisions about their real-money gambling.
The main goal is to provide as much relevant and useful information that we have at hand at the time of writing as possible, to make sure that the player is aware of all factors and conditions before they even start depositing their money.
All content you can find at CasinosHunter is created based on user feedback, players’ needs, our own research, industry changes, and changes in legislature, just to name a few factors.
The point of having these editorial guidelines is to always keep up to high-quality standards, and this is especially important due to the fact that at CasinosHunter, we do not do paid content. This way, we are independent from any stakeholder’s influence or commercial objectives. We also do not accept third-party ads on site. The project is funded with the help of affiliate programs that we ourselves choose.
What are our editorial guidelines based on?
The guidelines we follow were created by our staff based on a number of factors, from our own vision of the brand voice to standards accepted by the search engines and online press.
While some of our rules may seem pretty strict, at the same time, they are cut in stone because we often improve and enhance them when something changes in our communication tactics or strategy. Our editorial decisions are taken with the whole team participating, to ensure that we all are on the same page.
In case you have questions about our editorial guidelines or policies, please feel free to contact us.
