How we research, write & update.
Our editorial policy explains how 24Pokies approaches online slot information, casino reviews, sources, corrections, updates and commercial relationships.
The aim is straightforward: publish useful information with enough context for readers to understand what the data means, where it comes from and when it may need to be checked again.
What every 24Pokies page should aim to do.
A useful page should help a reader understand the subject rather than simply repeat promotional material or search-oriented copy.
Be useful
Content should answer a real question, provide meaningful context or make it easier to compare relevant game and casino information.
Be accurate
Important factual claims should be based on information that can reasonably be checked and should not be presented with unnecessary certainty when the source is unclear.
Add context
Technical information such as RTP, volatility or wagering terms should be explained so readers understand what those terms actually mean.
Stay transparent
Commercial relationships, affiliate links and third-party information should not be presented as something they are not.
Avoid guarantees
Gambling outcomes are uncertain. Editorial content should not promise winnings or imply that a strategy can eliminate gambling risk.
Keep improving
Pages may be revised when information changes, credible corrections are received or a clearer explanation improves the usefulness of the content.
How information moves from research to page.
Different types of information require different levels of checking, especially when facts can change over time.
Identify the question and search intent
We start by determining what the page is supposed to help the visitor understand, compare or discover.
Gather relevant information
Research may include game information, provider documentation, operator information, published terms and other relevant sources depending on the subject.
Distinguish facts from interpretation
Published specifications and third-party claims should remain separate from editorial explanations, observations and commentary.
Add useful context
We aim to explain why a number, feature, condition or mechanic matters rather than simply listing it.
Review material claims
High-value or changeable information should be checked against appropriate available sources before publication or revision.
Where our information can come from.
Source quality depends on the subject. Information that changes frequently should be treated differently from stable game mechanics.
Primary and direct sources
When available, information is best checked against the source closest to the subject being described.
Supporting sources
Additional sources may be useful for context, terminology, background information and cross-checking where appropriate.
Information changes. Our pages can change with it.
Casino terms, promotions, payment methods and game availability can change over time, so published information should not be treated as permanently fixed.
Material updates may trigger a page review
Significant changes to a game’s specifications, casino terms, availability, promotions or other important details may require an update.
Credible corrections are considered
Visitors, providers and other knowledgeable sources can report possible errors. Relevant corrections may be reviewed and applied when supported by reliable information.
Outdated information should not be presented as current
When an important detail can no longer be confirmed as current, the page should be revised, qualified or otherwise updated as appropriate.
Editorial content and affiliate relationships.
Commercial relationships are disclosed separately from the editorial purpose of our content.
Information first
Pages can explain game mechanics, RTP, volatility, casino features, payment information and other relevant details regardless of whether a commercial link appears on the page.
Affiliate relationships
Some links on 24Pokies may be affiliate links. A qualifying action through an applicable link may generate a commission paid by the relevant third-party business.
What our editorial policy will never promise.
Accurate information can improve understanding, but it cannot remove the financial and mathematical risks associated with gambling.
No guaranteed outcomes.
RTP is a theoretical long-term measure and does not predict the result of an individual spin. Volatility describes characteristics of a game’s payout distribution but does not determine what happens on a particular session. Neither should be presented as a guarantee of winnings.
Gambling remains risky.
No editorial method, slot strategy or affiliate recommendation can remove the underlying risk of losing money when gambling.
