Editorial Standards

Cosmobet Blog publishes guides, analysis, and explainers about online gambling — a topic Google classifies as Your Money or Your Life (YMYL) because the information we publish can directly affect a reader's finances and wellbeing. Because of that, we hold our editorial output to standards that go beyond what most affiliate sites apply. This page documents exactly how we work, who works on our content, and what commitments we make to readers.

1. Who writes our content

Every article is written by a named member of our editorial team. We do not publish anonymous content and we do not use generic "staff writer" bylines. Each writer's credentials, prior roles, years of experience, and areas of expertise are published on their author profile so readers can judge the authority behind a piece.

Articles are assigned to writers based on the match between the topic and the writer's domain expertise. A piece on blackjack basic strategy is assigned to our casino-maths specialist; a Premier League match preview is assigned to our football journalist. We do not have generalists writing high-stakes financial or strategy content outside their field.

2. Research and sourcing

Where we cite a fact, statistic, RTP figure, regulatory ruling, or product claim, we source it from the primary publisher wherever possible — the game studio's specification sheet, the licensing authority's published register, the operator's own terms and conditions, or peer-reviewed research. We avoid citing other affiliate sites as sources because it propagates errors.

When we describe what a slot, casino game, or sportsbook market feels like in practice, that experience is based on hands-on testing by the named writer. We do not paraphrase product descriptions written by the operators we cover.

3. Independence and conflicts of interest

Cosmobet Blog is operated by Cosmobet International Ltd, an MGA-licensed gambling operator. Our editorial team writes about the wider industry, including operators and products that compete with our own. We do not allow commercial considerations to influence the substance of a review or analysis. Where an article discusses a product or brand affiliated with our parent company, that relationship is disclosed inline.

We do not accept paid placements, "sponsored" review slots, or copy supplied by third parties presented as our own editorial. We do not publish content that uses rel="sponsored" links disguised as editorial recommendations.

4. Accuracy and fact-checking

Before publication, every article is reviewed against three checks: factual accuracy (do the cited numbers, dates, and rules match the primary source?), regulatory accuracy (does the article correctly describe the legal position in the jurisdictions it discusses?), and responsible-gambling tone (does the framing avoid promising outcomes, glamorising losses, or targeting vulnerable readers?).

When we discover a factual error after publication, we follow our corrections policy — we fix the article, log the change, and note the correction on the page where the impact is material.

5. Updates and timeliness

Online gambling is a fast-moving industry. Rules change, RTPs change, operators launch and close. We periodically review evergreen guides and update them when the underlying facts shift — for example after a regulatory change, a major studio's maths revision, or a product withdrawal. The publication date on each article reflects the most recent substantive update.

6. Responsible gambling commitment

No Cosmobet article will ever describe gambling as a way to make money, claim a "winning system," promise edge against a house advantage that cannot be beaten, or encourage chasing losses. Every page on this site carries 18+ messaging and links to independent support organisations including BeGambleAware, GamCare, and Gambling Therapy.
