Editorial Policy

fortune-coins.best is an independent editorial review platform. This policy documents transparently how our testing procedures work, how ratings are developed, how corrections are handled, and how we manage affiliate relationships. We see it as our commitment to our readers.

Editorial Mission

We report on Fortune Coin and online casinos for English-speaking players. Our reporting aims for actionable information over marketing aesthetics, concrete numbers over adjectives, methodological rigor over marketing rhetoric. Shortcomings are named, not softened.

Team and Accountability

All reviews are conducted by a fixed editorial team with more than 14 years of combined experience in iGaming. Reviews are signed by the author and published with verifiable author biography. Freelance writers, AI-generated content without editorial review, and sponsored posts are excluded.

Casino Testing Procedure

Every casino recommended on fortune-coins.best goes through the following verification steps:

  1. License verification. The stated license number is verified with the issuing regulator (Malta Gaming Authority, Curaçao eGaming, Anjouan Gaming Authority, etc.).
  2. Real-money registration. Account setup including KYC verification; processing time is documented.
  3. Deposit. A minimum deposit of $100 using at least two different payment methods.
  4. Game testing. A minimum of 200 rounds on Fortune Coin or comparable games at various difficulty levels.
  5. Withdrawal testing. At least three withdrawals with different amounts across different withdrawal methods.
  6. Support testing. Inquiries via live chat and email with documented response time and answer quality.

A casino is only added after successfully completing all steps. Listings are reviewed at least twice yearly and updated or removed as needed.

Rating System

Casino and game ratings follow a structured 47-point audit, mapped to an overall score using the following weighting:

  • Withdrawal speed: 25 percent
  • License transparency: 20 percent
  • Bonus fairness (wagering, game weighting, max-bet clauses): 20 percent
  • Customer service: 15 percent
  • Game selection: 10 percent
  • App and usability: 10 percent

The resulting score from 0-100 is mapped to a 5-star scale. Providers scoring below 70 are not included in our recommendations.

Affiliate Transparency

A portion of our revenue comes from affiliate commissions. When a user clicks one of our recommendation links and makes a deposit with the corresponding provider, we receive a one-time or revenue-based payment. This payment does not influence whether a casino is listed or its ranking position.

  • Casinos do not pay for listing or favorable placement.
  • Ranking is determined solely by the 47-point audit.
  • Providers with higher commission rates receive no preferential treatment.
  • Affiliate relationships are disclosed in the footer and inline where relevant.

Fact-Checking

Numerical claims in our articles are verified before publication:

  • RTP values: From official game developer documentation, cross-checked against iTechLabs or eCOGRA certificates where available.
  • Bonus terms: Taken from each casino's terms at publication time. Since providers may change terms quickly, we recommend verifying before any deposit.
  • License data: Checked with the issuing regulator.

Corrections and Updates

If any claim proves inaccurate, we correct the article promptly. Material content changes are documented with an update note in the article footer. Factual errors are corrected, not silently removed. Questions for the editorial team can be sent anytime to: [email protected].

Responsible Gaming Policy

Gambling is entertainment, not a business model for individual players. This position is reflected in our articles: we avoid 'get rich' rhetoric, highlight addiction risks, and link to support services in every article and in the footer. If you need help: Gambling Therapy provides free online support 24/7.

What We Don't Do

  • No "guaranteed strategies" that ignore expected-value mathematics.
  • No promotion of unlicensed casinos or so-called "predictor" apps.
  • No promo codes we've already verified don't work.
  • No paid posts without clear labeling.
  • No review verdicts without an actual completed test.

Methodology Updates

This policy is reviewed annually and adapted to market developments, regulatory changes, and our own methodological insights. The current version is always available on this page.
