How We Handle Errors

A site that explains odds and payouts has to get its numbers right. We check every figure before publishing, but mistakes still happen: a payout copied wrongly, a rule that differs between versions of a game, a sentence that reads more confidently than the facts allow. This page explains what we do when an error turns up.

What counts as an error

• Factual mistakes, such as a wrong payout, a miscounted probability or a misdescribed rule.
• Outdated information, where a game, a feature or a common practice has changed since we wrote about it.
• Misleading wording, where a sentence is technically true but could leave a reader with the wrong impression, for example about how likely a win is.
• Broken internal links and similar housekeeping problems.

Differences of opinion, such as which game someone finds more fun, are not errors, though we are always happy to hear them.

How to report one

Email us through the contact page with the address of the article, the sentence you think is wrong, and why. If you have a source, such as the published rules of a game, mention it. Certainty is not required; a reasoned hunch is reason enough for a second look.

What happens next

Each report lands with the article's writer and with Tobiah, who edits. We go back to the rules of the game and redo any calculation from the beginning instead of trusting the original draft. If the report is correct, we fix the article. If we disagree, we reply and explain our reasoning, and we are open to being persuaded.

How fixes are shown

Small slips that do not change the meaning, such as a typo or a broken link, are corrected quietly. When a correction changes a figure, a rule or a conclusion, we update the article's modified date and, where it matters to the reader, add a short note in the text saying what changed. We do not quietly rewrite a claim in a way that hides that it was ever different.

Keeping old articles honest

Some pieces in the archive are older than others, and the way games are offered online moves quickly. When we notice that an article has aged, we revise it rather than leave it to mislead. Readers help a great deal here, because they often meet a changed game long before we do.

Why it matters

An error in an article about gambling is not just embarrassing. A wrong figure can make a bet look cheaper than it is, and that can cost someone real money. That is why we treat corrections as a priority, and why our routine for checking numbers is described in full on How the Site Runs.
