Editorial Policy

Our Editorial Standards

DiggersFortune.org publishes independent reviews and guides covering Diggers Fortune and the licensed casinos where UK players can access it. Every page on this site follows a consistent editorial process built around one goal: giving readers accurate, current information they can act on without second-guessing it. This policy explains how we research, write, verify, and update our content, and how we handle the commercial relationships that keep the site running.

How Content Is Created

Our review and guide content starts with primary sources: official game provider documentation, licensed operator terms and conditions, and regulator registers such as the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) database. We do not summarise other review sites or repurpose marketing copy as fact. Figures on RTP, volatility, bonus terms, and licensing status are pulled directly from the operator or provider before a single sentence is drafted.

Once the factual base is confirmed, our writers structure each article around what a player actually needs to decide: is this game worth playing, which casino offers it under fair terms, and what should be checked before depositing. We avoid padding pages with generic filler. If a section does not help a reader make a decision, it does not get published.

Author Independence

Content on this site is written under a named byline. Our lead reviewer, James Whitfield, has covered online slots and licensed operators in the UK market since 2019, with a background in statistics and a focus on volatility modelling. His full credentials and review methodology are available on his author profile page.

Writers are evaluated on accuracy and clarity, not on how favourably they portray a given casino or operator. No commercial partner has editorial input over how a game or casino is scored, described, or ranked. Affiliate partnerships fund the site, but they do not dictate its verdicts.

Fact-Checking Process

Before publication, every figure on the page is cross-checked against its original source. This applies to game mechanics (RTP, volatility, hit frequency, maximum win multiplier), operator details (licence number and issuing authority, KYC requirements, withdrawal times), and bonus terms (wagering requirements, minimum deposit, expiry windows).

Where a source cannot be verified, or where an operator's terms are ambiguous, we state that explicitly in the text rather than guessing. If we cannot confirm a claim, we leave it out.

Affiliate Relationship Disclosure

DiggersFortune.org is a commercial website. When a reader clicks through to a casino from this site and signs up, we may earn a referral commission from that operator. This is standard practice across the online gambling review industry, and it is how independent review sites like ours stay free for readers to use.

This arrangement does not change what we publish. A casino paying a referral commission receives the same scrutiny as one that does not. If an operator has poor withdrawal times, restrictive bonus terms, or licensing concerns, that gets reported regardless of any commercial relationship. Full detail on this arrangement is available on our Affiliate Disclosure page.

We do not accept payment in exchange for a positive review, a higher ranking, or the removal of accurate but unflattering information about an operator.

Update Frequency

Online casino terms, bonus offers, and licensing status change regularly, so static content goes stale fast. We review live pages on a rolling basis and update them whenever we identify a change in:

Where a page displays a bonus or promotion, we include a "verified on" date next to the claim so readers can see at a glance when that specific detail was last checked, rather than relying on a single site-wide "last updated" stamp that may not reflect every figure on the page.

Corrections Policy

We treat factual accuracy as non-negotiable. If a reader, operator, or provider identifies an error on this site, whether it is an outdated bonus term, an incorrect RTP figure, or a lapsed licence reference, we investigate and correct it as soon as it is verified.

Minor corrections, such as an updated wagering requirement or a corrected withdrawal time, are made directly to the live page without a separate notice, since these reflect the operator's own updated terms rather than an editorial mistake. Substantive corrections, such as a change to a game's stated RTP or a reversal of a casino recommendation, are noted on the page with the date of the change.

To report an error, contact us at [email protected] or through our Contact page. Include the page URL and the specific claim in question so we can verify and correct it quickly.

Questions About This Policy

If you have questions about how we source, verify, or update content on DiggersFortune.org, or about our affiliate relationships, reach out via the Contact page. We are open about how this site operates because trust is the only thing that makes an independent review site worth reading.
