By disclosing some of our editorial principles to our readers, we want to give them a bigger picture and a better understanding of the content we provide.
Also, all prospective contributors can learn more about our expectations in order to be ready to meet them if we collaborate.
All content featured on our site is created with our mission in mind.
Our mission is to help players gamble online safely by providing them with:
- Shared firsthand player experience;
- News and insights about the industry from key stakeholders;
- Deeper knowledge and understanding of online gambling.
Overview of Our Editorial Standards
CasinosHunter’s editorial guidelines define how we collect, verify, and present information to our readers.
Why are editorial guidelines important?
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.
Whether we publish a game review, casino review, blog article, 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 legislation, 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 the 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 set 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 are all on the same page.
In case you have questions about our editorial guidelines or policies, please feel free to contact us.

Our Editorial Code
So, below you can find key concepts we follow in our editorial code. This list is not full, and we do not provide the actual details of our guidelines, but you can still get a better idea of how we handle our content.
Content Standards
- Accuracy: We try to double-check and verify all the information we provide to our readers.
- Objectivity: On the one hand, we stay objective and unbiased in terms of giving the facts about a casino or game. On the other hand, we also give our assessment and explanations, so we try to be reasonably objective when praising an online casino or the other way around.
- Comprehensiveness: We don’t just throw facts in the readers’ faces and leave them wondering if something is good or bad. We make sure all facts are explained, and our opinions are reasonable.
Before publication, our team verifies information using official casino websites, licensing authorities, and publicly available regulatory information. When possible, we also test casino platforms directly to confirm the accuracy of the data presented in our reviews.
All articles published on CasinosHunter are reviewed before publication to ensure accuracy, clarity, and compliance with our own editorial standards in the first place.
Ethical Standards
- Transparency: CasinosHunter participates in affiliate programs and collaborates with online casino operators for revenue. We disclose that openly in our content and inform players that they never have to pay extra if they follow our affiliate links.
- Honesty: We are always honest about online casinos that we review, and if something is bad for the player, we say so.
- Responsibility: CasinosHunter promotes responsible gambling and encourages all players to activate responsible gambling tools to avoid any compulsive gambling problems.
Affiliate partnerships never influence our editorial conclusions. CasinosHunter does not accept payment for positive reviews or rankings.
Legal Compliance & Reliable Resources
- Jurisdictional Awareness: CasinosHunter experts monitor all changes in Canadian online gambling legislation and all the industry news to keep in line with the actual laws.
- Intellectual Property: We follow copyright laws and intellectual property laws, and own all rights for our content.
Updates and Revisions to Guidelines
- Regular Updates: At CasinosHunter, we update content on a regular basis according to the search engines’ updates and also when our reviewed online casinos change their offers or gambling conditions.
Feedback Mechanism: We are open to any feedback from our readers and generally from gamblers. You can contact our experts via the Contact us page or using the widget in the right corner. Also, please do not hesitate to contact us if you notice a mistake.
