Editorial Policy

At CtiJazz.com, every article, review, and guide published on this site goes through a structured editorial process before it reaches you. Our goal is simple: give readers accurate, useful information they can act on with confidence. This page explains how we create content, how we verify facts, how we handle affiliate relationships, and what happens when we get something wrong.

How We Create Content

Our editorial team researches each topic from primary sources before a single word is written. For game and casino coverage, that means visiting the official product pages, reading the terms and conditions directly, and cross-referencing data from multiple independent sources. We do not accept vendor-supplied copy or publish press releases as editorial content.

Each piece is assigned to a writer with relevant subject-matter knowledge. The writer produces a first draft based on original research notes, not on recycled summaries from other review sites. A senior editor then reviews the draft for accuracy, tone, and completeness before publication. No article goes live after a single pass.

Our Standards for Accuracy

We apply a strict "no invention" rule: if a fact cannot be confirmed from an authoritative source, it does not appear in our content. This applies to technical specifications such as RTP percentages, volatility ratings, provider names, and release dates, as well as to commercial details like bonus amounts, wagering requirements, and withdrawal limits. When a figure is disputed or varies by region, we say so explicitly rather than picking a convenient number.

All game specifications are sourced from the official developer or a certified testing laboratory report.
Casino bonus terms are verified directly from the operator's promotions page at the time of writing.
Regulatory and licensing information is checked against the issuing authority's public register.
Statistical claims include a source link or are removed during editing.

Fact-Checking Process

Every factual claim in a published article has been verified by at least one editor who did not write the piece. Our fact-checkers work from the same primary sources the writer used, independently confirming each data point rather than simply reading the draft and trusting it. Where automated checks are part of our workflow, they supplement human review - they do not replace it.

For time-sensitive information such as bonus values or jackpot sizes, we note the verification date alongside the figure. Readers should treat any specific monetary value as accurate on that date and check the operator's site for the current offer before making decisions.

Affiliate Relationships and Commercial Independence

CtiJazz.com earns revenue through affiliate partnerships. When a reader clicks certain links on this site and subsequently registers or deposits with an operator, we may receive a commission. This commercial arrangement does not influence our editorial judgements. Operators cannot pay for a higher rating, a more favourable review, or prominent placement in our rankings - those positions are determined by our editorial criteria alone.

We disclose affiliate links clearly. Any page that contains monetised links carries a disclosure notice at the top of the article. Our editorial team and our commercial team operate separately: writers and editors do not know the commission rates associated with individual operators, and the commercial team has no editorial authority.

Affiliate fees are never used as a ranking or scoring factor.
We review and cover operators we do not have commercial agreements with when they are relevant to readers.
Negative findings are published even when an operator is a commercial partner.
Sponsored content, when it appears, is labelled as such and kept separate from editorial content.

Update Frequency

Online gaming content changes fast. Bonus terms shift, games receive rule updates, and regulatory status can change without public notice. We review high-traffic pages on a rolling schedule and update them when the underlying facts change, not on a fixed calendar interval. Each page displays a "last reviewed" date so readers know how current the information is.

When a major change affects a published article - a bonus withdrawal, a licence suspension, or a significant rule change to a game - we prioritise that update and publish it within 48 hours of confirmation. Minor wording improvements or formatting changes are batched and applied during regular editorial cycles.

Corrections Policy

We make mistakes. When we do, we fix them promptly and transparently. If a factual error is identified in a published article, the correction is made to the live page within 24 hours of verification. We add a corrections note at the bottom of the affected article stating what was wrong and what the correct information is. We do not silently edit text and pretend the original version never existed.

Readers who spot an error can contact us using the address on our Contact page. We investigate every report and respond to the sender once the review is complete. If the report turns out to be incorrect, we explain why the original text stands.

Author Independence

Writers at CtiJazz.com are employed or contracted to produce editorial content. They are not compensated based on traffic generated by their articles, affiliate conversions driven by their reviews, or any other commercial metric tied to the operators they cover. Their only obligation is to the reader - to produce honest, well-researched work that helps people make informed choices.

Authors may decline assignments they feel present a conflict of interest. Any personal or financial connection between a writer and a subject they are covering must be disclosed to the editor before the assignment begins. Articles written under those circumstances are subject to additional review.

Questions about this policy can be directed to our editorial team via the contact details listed on our Contact page.
