Editorial Guidelines
This page is the backbone of Gamblers Connect. It defines exactly how we research, write, and verify everything you see on our platform, from player reviews to industry news. We designed these guidelines to ensure accuracy, consistency, and total transparency. They explain how we form our opinions, how we fact-check our claims, and how we keep our editorial voice completely independent from our commercial partnerships.
B2C Review Standards
We don’t base our reviews on marketing claims. Our ratings come from hands-on testing, using real accounts and real money. This section explains how our review process works in practice. It covers online casino evaluation criteria, including deposit speed, withdrawal reliability, customer support quality, and overall platform performance. It also outlines our slot game testing methodology, where we check RTP values, volatility behaviour, and in-game mechanics to confirm they match what players are told.

iHub & B2B Verification
The iHub only includes companies with an official partnership or a verified working relationship. It is not an open directory. Every listing is reviewed against editorial, commercial, and quality requirements. Before a company is listed, we confirm business legitimacy and active operations. This section explains our KYB (Know Your Business) procedures, including company identity checks, operational verification, and ownership transparency. It also outlines our standards for game providers, payment solutions, and affiliate publishers.

Responsible Gambling Index
Responsible gambling is something we measure, not something we assume. We created a proprietary index to evaluate player protection in a consistent way. This section explains the scoring methodology and how operators are assessed based on player protection tools, intervention mechanisms, and risk management features. It also covers game provider safety criteria, including game design safeguards, and details our Responsible Gambling Toolbox.

Media, News & Guides Standards
