How our texts are proofread and how we are paid

The size of a top win is what catches the eye first, but a player also needs to know what stands behind the words and casino placements around it. At Reelyard, we proofread our materials, take game figures from game data, and say openly how partner links and commercial agreements can affect what you see.

Payment and casino terms

Some pages on Reelyard contain links to casinos with which we have a partnership. If you follow one of those links, we may receive a reward, and that reward is part of how the website is paid. Payment also shapes casino lists: commercial agreements determine whether a casino appears in a list and where it is placed, and the contents or order shown to you may also depend on your country. Once you leave Reelyard, you are on an external casino website with its own rules and policies. The same applies to bonuses: each casino sets its own terms, while we neither set those terms nor guarantee them. If you are weighing an offer, the casino's own version is the one that applies, and any question about it belongs with that casino rather than with us.

Editorial proofreading

The materials we publish go through editorial proofreading. That is the stage at which wording is checked and corrected before it reaches you. It matters on a site about payout behaviour because small wording choices can change what a figure seems to say: a top win is not the same as a typical result, and a stated return is not a promise about one session. Careful proofreading helps keep those distinctions clear in the language you read. It is a quality step for our materials, not a change to the underlying game or a prediction about what will happen when you play.

Review figures and multipliers

Key figures on a game review are taken from the game data rather than written into the review as ordinary prose. In practice, the number attached to a game comes from the data record for that game, so it is not simply a figure chosen by the writer to suit the surrounding explanation. Where a win multiplier is mentioned in our wording, that multiplier is checked against the game data before publication. For you, the benefit is a clearer division of labour: the figure remains tied to the game data, while the surrounding explanation can discuss what a large possible win or a long wait between wins means for patience and expectation. That checking does not make any multiplier easier to reach; it only concerns whether the figure we state matches the data.

Game data catalogue

The figures we use for games come from a catalogue of game data, and no source beyond that catalogue is named. That catalogue is therefore the furthest point of origin we identify for the numbers you see. If you want to know whether a figure began with a particular provider or another outside body, our materials do not give that name; the stated source remains the catalogue. We keep the distinction because it tells you exactly how far the attribution goes. A figure can be connected back to the game-data catalogue, but it cannot be connected by us to an unnamed earlier source.
