Editorial Policy & Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated

highlighted.gg reviews skins casinos and gambling sites. This page explains how we make money, why that money cannot buy a rating, where we stand on responsible gambling, and how we handle mistakes.

How we make money

We earn affiliate commissions. When you sign up to a site through our links or use a promo code published here, the operator may pay us a commission. This costs you nothing extra — the bonuses shown are the same or better than what you would get arriving directly. Affiliate revenue is the only way a site like this funds real testing: the deposits, withdrawals and seed-verification work described in our rating methodology are paid for by it.

Why ratings aren't for sale

  • Scores come first. A site is tested and scored before any commercial conversation happens. Commercial terms never feed back into a score.
  • Negative reviews stay up. We review sites we have no deal with, and we publish warnings — our RustMoment review exists to tell you not to deposit. Dead and dying sites move to our graveyard index rather than quietly disappearing.
  • No pre-approval. Operators do not see reviews before publication, and no operator can pay to edit, remove or reorder one.
  • Rankings follow ratings. Where sites are listed in order, the order comes from the published scores, not from who pays more.

Responsible gambling

Everything on this site is for readers aged 18 or over (or the legal gambling age where you live, if higher). Gambling is entertainment with a built-in cost — every game we review carries a house edge, and no fairness system changes that. Our standing advice, repeated across our reviews: only gamble with money you can afford to lose, keep site balances small, withdraw winnings promptly, and never chase losses.

If gambling stops being fun, free and confidential help exists: BeGambleAware.org and GamCare both offer support, tools and advice. Most sites we review also offer self-exclusion — use it if you need it.

Fact-checking

Claims in our reviews and articles are either verified first-hand (our own deposits, withdrawals and seed checks), verified against sources we name, or explicitly hedged. When sources conflict or a claim cannot be confirmed, we say so in the text or leave the claim out — a shorter honest review beats a longer padded one. Dates matter: reviews display when they were last verified, and news articles are updated rather than left to rot.

Corrections

When we get something wrong, we correct the text promptly, note the change, and refresh the review's verified date. If you believe anything we've published is inaccurate — or a site is behaving differently from how we scored it — contact us via the channels in the site footer. Reader reports are part of how this site stays accurate, and they have changed scores before.
