How a page is made

  1. Sources gathered

    The studio’s game page and demo for a game; the bonus terms, cashier and lobby for a casino; the act, the regulator or the court for the law.

  2. Written for the reader’s country

    The writer for that market drafts the page in its currency, with its brands and its payment methods.

  3. Checked figure by figure

    The editor sets every number on the page against its source and sends back any that do not match.

  4. Published with names and a date

    The page goes up with its writer, editor and date in the byline; later changes are listed under Page history.

Editorial standards

  • A studio’s own figure beats a catalogue. When two sources disagree, the studio wins.
  • Bonus offers are copied from the terms with their wagering and the share Plinko counts toward it, not from banners.
  • A casino is listed for a country only if it takes players from that country. Casinos without a licence from the reader’s national regulator carry the ¹ note.
  • No star ratings and no scores. Casinos are compared on facts: games, terms, payments and countries.
  • Law sections quote the act, the regulator or the court and carry the date.
  • Plinko.ing earns a commission from some casino links. It does not change which casinos are listed or what the pages say about them.

Corrections

Write to help@plinko.ing with the page address and what has changed. The editor of that page checks it against the source, and the correction is listed in the page’s history with its date.
