Verdict first.
Then the partnership.
Gamsites covers operators it has commercial relationships with. Independence is the product, so the standard for that independence sits in public.
Some links lead to partners.
Where Gamsites covers an operator we have a commercial relationship with, those links may earn the site a commission. The link mechanic does not change the destination for the player and does not change the price. It is invisible by design.
Verdicts came first.
Trust scores and editorial verdicts are decided against the same rubric, before any commercial relationship is considered. Operators that pay get critical coverage when it is earned. Slow withdrawals, predatory bonus terms, and documented disputes are written about regardless of the partnership.
Sponsored content is labelled.
Where any placement on the site is paid for separately from editorial coverage, it is labelled as such. Editorial pages are never re-edited to fit a sponsor brief. If a partner wants their messaging on Gamsites, that messaging lives in a marked ad slot, not in a review.
We say where data is unverified.
Every figure on the site is labelled verified, reported, or estimated. Where Gamsites cannot verify a claim from a credible public record or test it directly, the figure is marked accordingly. Empty data is honest. Fabricated data destroys the brand.
Changes are versioned.
When Gamsites’ methodology shifts, the version number bumps and affected scores recalculate. If a partnership ends, the editorial coverage stays as written. Partnerships are not retroactive.
