Editorial Policy

Our Mission

WorldiGaming.com is committed to delivering accurate, timely, and independent reporting on the global iGaming industry. Our editorial team serves operators, affiliates, suppliers, investors, regulators, and informed players with news, analysis, and expert commentary they can trust.

Fact-Checking Process

Accuracy is the foundation of our journalism. Every article published on WorldiGaming undergoes the following process:

• Source verification: All claims are checked against primary sources including regulatory filings, company press releases, official reports, and direct statements from industry figures.
• Multiple source requirement: Significant claims are corroborated by at least two independent sources before publication.
• Data accuracy: Market figures, financial data, and statistics are sourced from official regulatory bodies, public filings, or recognised industry research firms.
• Editorial review: All articles are reviewed by at least one senior editor before publication.

Sourcing Standards

We prioritise the following source types for our reporting:

• Government and regulatory bodies: Official licensing authorities, legislative records, and government agencies.
• Industry organisations: Recognised trade bodies, standards organisations, and self-regulatory groups.
• Direct sources: On-the-record interviews, official company statements, and press releases.
• Academic and research institutions: Peer-reviewed studies, university research, and credentialed expert analysis.

Anonymous sources are used only when necessary to protect the source's safety or employment, and the information provided must be independently verifiable.

Corrections and Updates Policy

We take errors seriously and are committed to correcting them promptly and transparently:

• Corrections: When a factual error is identified, we correct the article and add a clearly visible correction note at the top of the article, stating what was changed and when.
• Updates: When significant new information becomes available on a topic we've covered, we update the article and note the update with a "Last updated" date.
• Retractions: In rare cases where an article cannot be corrected, it will be retracted with a public explanation.
• Reporting errors: Readers can report errors or inaccuracies by contacting [email protected]. We aim to acknowledge and investigate all reports within 48 hours.

Editorial Independence

Our editorial content is produced independently from our commercial operations. Specifically:

• Advertisers, sponsors, and affiliate partners have no influence on which stories we cover, how we cover them, or the conclusions we reach.
• Commercial partnerships are managed by a separate team from the editorial staff.
• Journalists and editors do not participate in advertising sales or revenue discussions related to specific content.
• No editorial content is produced or modified at the request of an advertiser.

Sponsored Content Guidelines

When content is produced in partnership with or paid for by a third party:

• It is always clearly labelled with "Sponsored", "Paid Partnership", or "Advertisement" at the top of the article.
• It passes through the same editorial review process for factual accuracy.
• It is never presented in a way that could be confused with independent editorial content.
• The sponsoring entity is clearly identified.

• We include responsible gambling resources and helpline information in relevant articles and across the site.
• We do not glorify gambling or present it as a guaranteed way to earn money.
• We support and promote industry self-regulation and player protection measures.
