Fact checking
Every number on a Gampots review page — bonus percentage, maximum amount, wagering multiplier, minimum deposit, app size — is copied from the operator's own terms at the time of writing. We date the check at the top of the page and refresh it when the operator changes the figure. If an offer disappears between two checks, the page is updated or taken down; it is not left to drift. When numbers are advertised in one place and specified differently in the terms, we quote the terms and flag the discrepancy for the reader. Where an offer is time-limited, the page carries an explicit end date and we re-check the figure within 24 hours of the stated expiry. Where the operator offers a different bonus by country, we specify the country and do not present a bonus that is not available in India as if it were. Numbers that depend on the player's own choices — stake size, game selected, VIP tier — are shown as ranges, not as fixed values, so the reader is not misled. Draft pages pass through a mandatory second-reader check before publication.
Sources
Primary sources are the operator's official terms, bonus pages and app store listings for Gampots. Secondary sources include regulator registers, licensing databases and public filings. We do not use rumour, forum posts or unnamed insider claims as a basis for a factual statement. Where an outside expert is quoted, we name the person and link to their public work; anonymous quotes are reserved for safety contexts and are flagged as such on the page. A source list is kept in the editorial archive and can be shared on request. When operator terms change between a quote and the publication of a page, we re-check against the live terms and update the quote. Screenshots used to anchor claims carry a visible timestamp. Where a figure is drawn from a secondary source, we also check it against the primary source where one exists; if the primary source contradicts the secondary, we use the primary and note the discrepancy. Removed sources are not quoted silently from a cached copy; cached copies are treated as evidence of past wording, not as current fact.
Sponsored content
Pages marked as 'Sponsored' or 'Partner content' are paid placements and are labelled at the top in a visible notice. Regular reviews are not for sale: the affiliate fee is paid only when a reader signs up via an outbound link, and it does not change the editorial judgement on the page. Advertisers do not see draft text, do not have veto rights over the published version, and do not get to swap the writer's conclusion. If a brand asks for those rights, we decline the placement — a review that cannot say what the reviewer thinks is not a review. In-house marketing campaigns run by the publisher — for example, a Gampots-themed newsletter — are also labelled as marketing and are kept separate from editorial pages. The site does not practice native advertising that mimics the look of a review. Affiliate-tracking parameters attached to outbound links do not alter the price, bonus or terms the reader receives at the operator; they only let the operator confirm that the signup came from our site. The commission tied to the signup is also published on request in our media kit.
Principles
We prefer plain English over marketing language, name the trade-offs instead of hiding them, and avoid claims that depend on the writer's personal luck. If the operator refuses to confirm a number, the page says so rather than printing an invented figure. Corrections are published on the page they belong to, not quietly edited out: each correction keeps the original wording crossed out and the updated version alongside. The goal is a page that a careful reader can trust after reading it twice. Where two editorial judgements are reasonable, the page states both and names its own, so a reader who disagrees can still weigh the pros and cons. We avoid superlatives — 'the best', 'the biggest' — unless a verifiable metric supports them. Writer bylines are shown on every review and link to the writer's bio; ghost-written content is not accepted, since the reader deserves to know whose judgement they are reading. Finally, we treat readers as adults: a page that patronises or hides risk is not a page we are willing to publish.
