Editorial Policy

retromegafruits.co.uk is an editorial review platform. These guidelines document transparently how our testing procedures work, how ratings are developed, how corrections are handled, and how we manage affiliate commissions. We understand them as a commitment to our readers.

Editorial Standards

We report on video slots and online casinos in the UK market. Our editorial standard: useful information over marketing aesthetics, concrete numbers over vague claims, methodological rigour over promotional rhetoric. Shortcomings are named, not minimised.

Editorial Team

All reviews are conducted by a dedicated editorial team with over 14 years of combined iGaming industry experience. Reviews are bylined with verifiable author biographies. Commissioned writers, AI-generated content without final editorial review, and sponsored articles are excluded.

Casino Testing Procedure

Every casino recommended on retromegafruits.co.uk undergoes the following verification steps:

  1. Licence Verification The stated licence number is verified with the issuing regulator (Curaçao Gaming Authority, Malta Gaming Authority, and others).
  2. Real Money Registration Account creation including KYC verification; processing time is documented.
  3. Deposit Testing A minimum of £100 via at least two different payment methods.
  4. Gameplay Testing A minimum of 200 spins of Retro Mega Fruits across different bet levels.
  5. Withdrawal Testing A minimum of three withdrawals with different amounts via different payment methods.
  6. Customer Support Testing Queries via live chat and email with documented response times and quality assessments.

A casino is only listed after successful completion of all steps above. Listings are reviewed at minimum every six months and updated or removed as needed.

Rating System

Casino and game ratings follow a structured 47-point audit, weighted as follows to produce an overall score:

  • Withdrawal Speed: 25%
  • Licence Transparency: 20%
  • Bonus Fairness (Wagering, Game Weighting, Max Bet Clauses): 20%
  • Customer Service: 15%
  • Game Selection: 10%
  • App and Usability: 10%

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

Affiliate Transparency

Some of our revenue comes from affiliate commissions. When a user clicks one of our recommendation links and deposits with the corresponding provider, we receive a one-time or revenue-based commission. This commission does not influence whether a casino is listed or its position in our rankings.

  • Casinos do not pay for inclusion or preferential placement.
  • Rankings are determined solely by the 47-point audit.
  • Providers with higher commission rates receive no priority treatment.
  • Affiliate relationships are disclosed in the footer and where relevant in article text.

Fact-Checking

Numerical claims in our articles are verified before publication:

  • RTP Values: From official developer documentation, cross-checked against iTech Labs or eCOGRA certifications.
  • Bonus Terms: Sourced from each casino's terms at publication time. Since operators can change terms quickly, we recommend verifying terms before depositing.
  • Licence Data: Verified with the issuing regulator.

Corrections and Updates

If any claim proves inaccurate, we correct the article promptly. Significant content changes are logged with an update note in the article footer. Factual errors are corrected, never silently removed. Editorial feedback can be sent to: editorial@retromegafruits.co.uk.

Responsible Gaming Position

Gambling is entertainment, not a business model for individual players. This principle guides our writing: we avoid 'get rich' rhetoric, warn of addiction risks, and link to support organisations in every article and footer. If you need help: National Gambling Helpline 0808 8020 133 (free and confidential).

What We Don't Do

  • No 'guaranteed strategies' that ignore the house edge.
  • No promotion of unlicensed casinos or fraudulent 'prediction' tools.
  • No promotion of invalid or expired bonus codes.
  • No sponsored content without clear disclosure.
  • No review claims without actual testing.

Policy Updates

These guidelines are reviewed annually and updated for market developments, regulatory changes, and methodological improvements. The current version is always available on this page.
