Editorial contract

CryptoGamble maintains full editorial independence over every review, score, and ranking decision. Paying for a listing does not grant the operator any right to influence editorial conclusions.

All Trust Layer scoring is performed against the same public methodology applied identically to every listed casino. No exceptions are made for paying partners. Where conclusions are disputed, the operator may submit a factual correction request under the workflow defined below.

Verified operators may submit data through the My Casino dashboard across the 12 documented sections of the listing record. Submitted data is reconciled against the live test, public T&Cs, and any third-party regulatory data we collect.

Where operator-declared data conflicts with our live-test evidence or third-party sources, our published value defaults to the verified evidence. Operators are notified of conflicts and given the opportunity to clarify.

Operators may flag factual errors through the dashboard at any time. Each submission is reviewed within five business days. We either accept the correction, edit it with reasoning, or reject it with explanation. Factual errors are corrected on the live page; editorial assessments are not rewritten by request.

Where a scoring signal remains unchanged after a correction request, we publish a short note explaining the signals that drove the assessment. This is a transparency commitment, not a negotiation channel.

Trust Layer scoring is composed of Contract Fairness, Operational Quality, Market Benchmark, Reputation Signal, and Live Testing evidence. The methodology is published in full. Internal weightings and formulas are not published but are applied identically to all listed operators.

Material changes to the methodology are announced at least 30 days before they take effect. Listed operators are notified directly via the operator dashboard and email.

Disputes are first handled through the factual correction workflow. Where the operator remains in disagreement after a documented decision, the contract permits escalation to a senior editorial reviewer named at signing.

Final editorial decisions rest with CryptoGamble. Operators retain the right to terminate the contract under the termination clauses below.

Either party may terminate the contract with 30 days written notice. CryptoGamble may terminate immediately and remove the listing without refund where evidence shows the operator misrepresented data, manipulated the live-test session, exit-scammed players, or breached the editorial independence clauses of this contract.

Where CryptoGamble fails to schedule or complete the initial live test within 14 days of payment for reasons within our control, the operator is entitled to a full refund of the annual fee.
