How this news desk works
Every item filed here starts from a primary document rather than from another site’s write-up: a regulator’s register entry, a bill or a published policy, an operator’s own terms page, or a dated snapshot of our review database. Where a story turns on a number — how many casinos in the catalogue take a given coin, how many publish a wagering multiple — that number is counted from the same database that feeds our reviews, and the cut-off date sits underneath the table rather than in a footnote nobody reads.
Licence claims are the thing we correct most often. An operator’s footer names a company and a licence number; the register of the regulator that supposedly issued it either confirms that pairing or does not, and the difference between the two is a story in itself. The Curaçao Gaming Authority publishes both its online-gaming register and the rules introduced with the island’s gambling act, and we read those directly instead of repeating what a brand says about itself: cga.cw/regulation/online-gaming. The same check runs against the Anjouan, Kahnawake and Malta registers, depending on which one a given brand cites.
What this desk does not do is stated as plainly as what it does. Nobody here funds a casino account to clock a payout, so a withdrawal window is always reported as the operator’s own stated figure, never as an observation of ours. Where a claim rests on a secondary source alone, the piece says so instead of presenting it as settled. Corrections that hold up are applied to the article and to the underlying review, and the address for them is info@bestbitcoincasino.ca.
Evergreen explainers — tax treatment, wallet hygiene, how a bonus actually clears — live in the blog rather than here. The standing reference tables sit on the topic pages: payment methods, bonus terms, withdrawal speed and no-KYC sign-up. The scoring protocol behind any rating quoted in a news item is published on our methodology page, and the editorial process is described on the team page.
