Responsible Gambling Standards

Because this site covers gambling, we hold ourselves to standards beyond general accuracy:

  • We never present gambling as a way to make money or solve financial problems.
  • We don't describe any bet, bonus or product as "risk-free."
  • We don't target content at, or use imagery that appeals to, anyone under 18.
  • Every guide includes links to free, confidential support in the UK and the US.
  • We explain the house edge and the operator's margin wherever we discuss games or odds.

Keeping Time-Sensitive Content Current

Rules on gambling change often, especially in the US. Pages covering laws, state-by-state availability, bonus caps or helplines carry a "Last checked" date, and we review them at least monthly. When a rule changes, we update the page and the date.

Use of AI

Some of our content is researched and drafted with the help of AI tools. Every fact-based claim is checked against regulators or other primary sources, and a human editor reviews and approves the page before it's published. AI assistance doesn't change our accuracy or correction standards — the same rules on this page apply regardless of how a draft was produced.

Reader Feedback

We value feedback from our readers. If you have concerns about our editorial standards, accuracy, or coverage:

  • Email us at hello@gamblingcore.com
  • Include "Editorial Feedback" in the subject line
  • We aim to respond to all feedback within 2–3 business days

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Editorial Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or industry standards. We will notify readers of significant changes by updating the "Last Updated" date on this page.
