Frequently asked about betting guides
Who writes these betting and casino guides?
Every guide is written by one of a small number of named analysts whose role and background are shown at the foot of each article. They are not generated or rewritten by software, and each one carries a byline so you can judge the source.
How often are the guides updated?
Guides are reviewed at least quarterly. Where a rule, bonus term or market format has changed, the article is updated and the revision date changes, so the date at the top of a page always reflects the last real review rather than an automatic timestamp.
Do you accept a referral bonus for writing a guide?
No. Guides are written and paid for independently of any commercial relationship. A site that is reviewed poorly still gets the poor review, which is the only reason the ratings are worth reading at all.
