How our casino review team writes, checks and corrects every review
Who writes the casino reviews, who checks every page before it goes live, how affiliate income is kept out of the ratings and how to report an error.
The casino review team and who writes what
Our casino review team is small enough that you can see exactly who stands behind each review. The team has 3 members, each with a profile page. Everyone writes under a pen name.
Casino reviews rotate between three casino reviewers, so no single person reviews every operator. Before a casino is listed, the reviewer opens a real account, makes a deposit, plays and requests a withdrawal, and the review is written from that test. Two editors write the guides, the monthly casino news and the slot pages.
The profiles deliberately claim no degrees, employers or social accounts. We would rather you judge the casino reviewers by whether their reviews hold up when you check them than by credentials you could not verify.
Who checks every page before it is published
Every page goes through the editor-in-chief before publication, whoever wrote it.
The check covers more than spelling. It looks at whether the facts on the page match what the reviewer recorded during testing, whether bonus terms still match the terms on the casino site, and whether any claim goes further than the test supports. Reviews, guides, news and slot pages therefore have two people behind them: the writer and the editor who checked the page.
Independence from affiliate income
Velatonmies is paid by casino operators when readers sign up through our links. That is how the site is funded, and it is stated plainly on our methodology page next to the scoring rules.
Ratings are not for sale. An operator cannot pay for a higher score or a softer review, and every casino is rated with the same weighting of payout speed, verification conduct, bonus terms, licensing and game integrity. A casino that pays a lot per sign-up is scored exactly like one that pays little.
That is also why the casino reviews report what went badly in testing as well as what went well. A slow withdrawal or an unclear bonus term is information you need before you deposit, and leaving it out would serve the operator rather than you.
Corrections and how to report an error
Bonus terms, payment methods and licences change, and a review can fall behind. When an error is found, the page is corrected and checked again by the editor-in-chief before the change goes live.
If you spot a wrong bonus term, an outdated withdrawal time or anything else that looks off, tell us through the contact page. A link to the page and a short note on what is wrong is enough, and a screenshot helps if the casino changed something recently.
Reviews describe how a casino behaves, but they do not change the house edge. Gambling is for adults aged 18 and over; if it stops being fun, read our responsible gambling page and contact the support services in your own country.
Questions about our casino review team
Who writes the casino reviews on Velatonmies?
Casino reviews are written by three casino reviewers who rotate between operators, and the editor-in-chief checks every review before it is published. Each review is based on a real account at the casino, with a deposit, play and a withdrawal. The two editors write the guides, news and slot pages.
Do the casino reviewers use their real names?
No, everyone on the team writes under a pen name. The profiles deliberately claim no degrees, employers or social accounts, so judge each review on whether its figures hold up when you check them, and tell us by email when one does not.
Do casinos pay casino review sites?
Yes, most casino review sites, including this one, are paid by operators when readers sign up through their links. That income does not buy a rating here: every casino is scored with the same weighting, as set out on the methodology page.
Can a casino pay for a better rating?
No, ratings are not for sale and an operator cannot pay for a higher score or a softer review. Every casino is rated out of 5 on the same weighting of payout speed, verification conduct, bonus terms, licensing and game integrity.
How do I report a mistake in a casino review?
Send a message through the contact page with a link to the review and a short note on what is wrong. A screenshot helps if the casino changed its terms recently. The page is then corrected and checked again by the editor-in-chief before the change goes live.
How are casinos tested before they are reviewed?
Every casino is tested with a real account before it is listed: the reviewer registers, deposits, plays and requests a withdrawal. The review then records the welcome offer, minimum deposit and withdrawal speed, and gives the casino a rating out of 5.
